Historic roofing requires more than skill. It requires respect for the building and its story. Call us today to discuss your historic roofing project.
Historic properties often require roofing materials that match the original as closely as possible. This might mean sourcing specific grades of natural Vermont slate, matching the profile of original cedar shingles, or fabricating custom copper flashings that replicate period-accurate details. Our network of specialty material suppliers gives us access to the products that historic preservation work demands.
Many historic buildings feature roof geometries that are far more complex than a simple gable or hip roof. Turrets, intersecting valleys, dormers, cresting, and decorative ridgelines require a level of skill and patience that not every roofing contractor possesses. Our team approaches these challenges with the craftsmanship that exceptional buildings deserve.
Properties listed on the National Register of Historic Places or located within historic districts may be subject to specific preservation standards and require approval from local or state historic preservation offices before roofing work can proceed. We are familiar with these processes and can assist property owners in navigating the approval requirements.
Natural Slate
Many of Maine's historic homes were originally roofed with natural slate, much of it sourced from New England quarries. Original slate roofs that have been maintained can still be in serviceable condition even after 80 or 100 years. We evaluate existing historic slate carefully, replacing only what is necessary and preserving what can be saved.
Copper Roofing and Flashing
Copper is one of the most historically accurate and durable roofing materials for use on historic buildings. It is used for standing seam roofing on turrets and bays, for flashings at chimneys and dormers, and for ornamental gutters and scuppers. Copper develops a natural patina over time that is both beautiful and protective.
We believe that Maine's historic buildings are irreplaceable community assets. When we work on a historic structure, we approach it as stewards of the building's legacy, not just as contractors completing a job. Contact Allstate Roofing today to discuss your historic roofing project and let us bring the expertise and respect your property deserves.
