Stone Roof Repair
Featherstone Cottage on the grounds of the old Sibly Estate / River Ridge Farm near Franklin, PA.
From the information I have found so far, this was the home of the pump master. It matches the architectural layout of the mansion and a couple other buildings on the grounds.
It had been used for many years as a hunting cabin and had been neglected and abused. It was recently purchased, remodeled, and sold.
Much of the remodeled exterior roof / flashing work was poorly done and needs to be redone.

 Attention to Detail
Preserving and continuing the details on a Frank Lloyd Wright roof restoration.
New downspouts for the carport. Originally galvanized round pipes connected to an asphalt coated roof, these new triangular copper downspouts were fabricated to match the angular details of the house, and installed with a new copper, hand soldered flat seam panel roof.
Matching the original craftmanship on a Greek Revival farmhouse in the Western Reserve.
The sheet metal craftsmen of old often did not have the luxury of readily avalilable machine made accessories for their gutter installations. When parts were expensive, or unavailable, they would fabricate those parts by hand out of the scrap lengths of gutter. This copper end cap was cut from a small piece of scrap gutter, trimmed and then soldered to a matching cut out in the main gutter for a nice mitered end. |
 Copper Roof Restoration | Cleveland , Ohio
Restoration and repair of a large copper clad roof cupola on the historic Scovell Hall building on the campus of The College of Wooster.
After years of being buffeted by high winds and beaten by hail, and a few half hearted attempts at repairing the damage, the college decided on a partial refurbishment of the cupola. Much of the copper cladding has held up very well, but quite a bit of the upper roof and ornamental columns are worn out and will need to be replaced.
The cupola restoration is a small part of the total roof restoration. The steep asphalt shingle roofing and the flat parapet gutter roof areas below are also being replaced. And the entire roof deck is being recovered with new plywood.
Because we would have to build scaffolding around the perimeter of the structure on the existing roofing, the lower roof would then not be accessible to the crew working below for quite some time. A decision was made by the college to disassemble the existing base mounting, and remove the cupola from the roof with a crane then transport it to our company location for restoration.
