Challenges Of Restoring an Historic Roof and Building

The challenge of maintaining these historical sites and buildings is to find the right tools and materials to restore the aesthetic appearance attributed to the famous building while also making choices to improve safety, structural integrity, and longevity. We’ve been trusted with restoring historic roofs on famous Colorado landmarks with great success. 

Restoring a Historic Roof

Historical landmarks and buildings are fundamental to a town, city, county, and country’s identity. While old buildings are supposed to have a certain patina, they do need to be maintained carefully over time.

Restoring a historic roof takes skill and knowledge, both of the styles, materials, and architecture used in olden times, and what techniques and materials will be comparable to recreate the aesthetics and integrity of the roofing structure.

While a roof, even a historic roof, can last up to a century, time and weather will begin to wear on a roof. Materials start to break down and deteriorate over time. Once the roof starts to near the end of its life, it’s important to hire a professional and credible roofing company equipped to restore an historic roof. 

Experience Needed:

• Adequate experience restoring historic roofs
• Excellent local reputation and customer reviews
• Understanding of appropriate roofing materials 
• Knowledge of historic architecture and roofing structures
• Can maintain the integrity and appeal of building while adding another century to the life of your roof
