Historic Roof Restoration for Bucks County Homes
Doylestown and Central Bucks have many old homes. Some are stone Colonials. Some are Victorians. Some are old farmhouses and barns.
Old roofs need a careful plan. We repair first when we can. We keep the look of the home. And we follow the rules for historic areas.
Common problems on old homes
- Old repairs used the wrong material, like tar on slate
- Box gutters or built-in gutters leak into walls
- Chimney flashing has pulled away from old stone or brick
- Dormers and turrets leak where roof shapes meet
- Old wood trim at the roof edge is soft
Our careful approach
- 1We look at the whole roof and take photos of each problem.
- 2We sort the work into three groups: fix now, fix soon, and watch.
- 3We use materials that match the age and style of the home.
- 4If your home is in the historic district, we help you get ready for review.
Repair before replace
Keeping old materials that still work is often cheaper and keeps the home's character.
Built-in gutters
Many old homes have gutters built into the roof edge. When they leak, water goes into the walls. Relining them with metal can fix this.
Big or small
Work can be a small fix of a few hundred dollars or a full restoration of $60,000 or more. We explain the choices clearly.
