Historic Restoration
We restore slate and copper on landmark buildings to the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for historic rehabilitation.
That work demands research, documentation, and craft discipline that goes beyond even our normal standard.
At the Roselawn Museum and Estate in Bartow County, Georgia, we performed copper sheet-metal work and slate shingle installation to the Secretary of the Interior's Standards. The project's registered architect recommended the county keep using our firm on its historic buildings.
For the City of Decatur's 1903 railroad depot, we handled the relocation and stabilization roofing: roughly 85 squares of standing-seam metal in a complex hip and cross-hip configuration, completed in 2003.
Historic work starts with understanding what was there and why. We document existing conditions, match original materials and methods, and leave a roof that honors the building's history while protecting its future.
If you own, manage, or are restoring a historic property, talk to us before anyone puts a modern roofing crew on it.
