We love historic architecture. We love working on old buildings, helping put them back in shape, and setting them up for the continued service and pleasure of those who use them far into the future. For those who value old buildings and have the charge of maintaining them, it goes without saying that the best and longest lasting solutions toward their restoration are the most desirable ones. Let us observe a few points about how our services contribute to this goal.
- Copper, zinc, or terne coated stainless steel are almost always going to be the best candidate under the usual stipulation of repair/replacement with like material.
- European style seaming replicates the look of original detailing, much of which was done by European immigrant craftsmen, and those who learned from them.
- Most roof problems result from the use of poor techniques in making connections; such as rivets, sealants, solder, penetrating fasteners, or poorly designed flashings. Double lock seaming eliminates these weaknesses.
- Specialty fabrication: we are able to reproduce ornamental/architectural details regardless of scale or degree of elaboration.
- As mentioned on our About page, we provide nationwide service, and are available for on site inspection/analysis of problems, and to assist with the design and detailing of permanent solutions in the context of historic architecture.
