The care and professionalism that was displayed by your firm during this lengthy and difficult project was impressive, to say the very least. To be able to restore the slate roof and associated copper work to its original condition on a project this size, required skills that are not easily found.

If you are like me, you have a special appreciation for the old homes and buildings that are part of our heritage. You probably cringe at the thought of covering beautiful old mill work with aluminum or plastic as is so often done today. The fact is, most of the old homes and historical buildings that were constructed in the 19th and early 20th centuries were built by artisans who were highly skilled at their craft and left to our stewardship to maintain.Sadly, we have lost many through neglect, but there is a renewed interest and commitment to restore these grand structures for us and our children to enjoy.
If you're concerned about the roof over your head, litterally, you may want to investigate putting up a metal roof. Touted for their longevity and durability, copper, terne and steel roofs are made to last a lifetime. Bill Brandow's parents, Wendy and John, purchased a charming 1850 house in Bethlehem several years ago.
A: Appearances can be deceiving, but older roofs tend to curl up and crack as they dry out from the sun. The granules fall off as they deteriorate washing down the roof into gutters and drainpipes or on the "drip line" where water drops to the ground. A good asphalt fiberglass shingle should last 20-25 years before replacement is necessary.
