THE CHALLENGE
Severe damage, caused by hailstorm in April 2020, the homeowners contacted Renaissance to inspect the damage and determine a solution.
THE RENAISSANCE SOLUTION
This private residence required a full restoration of the steep-slope roof which included Vermont Unfading Gray/Green Slate over the main house and detached garage, new copper flashings, new copper ridge metal, new copper air vents, and new copper ledge metal on dormers.
Work also included new copper flat seam fully soldered panels on all low-slope roof areas along with new copper flashings at all walls, a new copper gutter and downspout system as well as masonry work on the chimneys on the house and garage.
THE RESULTS
The slate and copper roofing experience of the Renaissance team was a great fit for this project and was enhanced by the knowledge and training of their copper shop and masons.
