The Importance of Historic Roof Preservation in Savannah
Preserving a historic roof is not just about maintaining the appearance of a building; it's about preserving its character and cultural significance. Many of these roofs were built using techniques and materials that are no longer in use, making them irreplaceable treasures. Without proper maintenance and restoration, these roofs can deteriorate over time, causing irreversible damage to the building's structure and diminishing its historical value.
At Coastal Roofworks, our team has experience working with different types of historic roofs, including:
- Slate roofs: Durable and fire-resistant, slate roofs are common on many historic buildings. They can last for centuries with proper preservation and restoration.
- Clay tile roofs: These roofs are known for their distinct aesthetic and resilience. Their ability to withstand extreme weather conditions makes them popular for historical buildings.
- Wood shingle roofs: Wood shingles provided a readily available roofing material for early settlers. Such roofs demand special care due to their vulnerability to fire and weather.
- Metal roofs: Used since the 1700s, metal roofs offer longevity and durability. Historic metals include copper, lead, and tin.
- Flat seam roofs: Characterized by their flat, interlocking metal panels, these roofs are common on row houses and other urban buildings.
- Built-up roofs: These roofs, constructed from multiple layers of asphalt and fabric, have been widely used in commercial applications since the 19th century.
We understand the unique challenges that come with working on these roofs and have the expertise to handle them with care.
