This was a cool project that we got to work on where the homeowner purchased this Farmer's Bank building from 1903 that was recently converted to a home. We got the call when they noticed there were some roof leaks and weren't sure if it could be done with a repair or if it needed its roof to be replaced. After further investigation, it was determined that it was better to replace it entirely. Instead of using traditional slate like what it had originally, it was agreed upon to use DaVinci Slate. This unique composite synthetic material delivers the highest levels of beauty without the typical challenges of a natural slate roof. In addition to replacing the roof, we also replaced the metal shelf gutter and perimeter metal with custom fabricated, 16oz. copper perimeter edge metal, riveted to existing metal cornice.
When it comes to historical buildings, especially ones that have cedar and slate, call the historical restoration experts who have been around for almost 100 years and have worked on plenty of homes like this one.
