| The client's home is a
beautiful Tudor style mansion located in Hudson, Ohio.
We were contacted by the client ’s architect
in early 2006 to help design and construct an addition
to the home, as well as evaluate the existing slate
and flat roofs. This project was completed in four
phases. They were:
1.) Construct a 3 car attached garage
with a laundry room and tack (equestrian equipment)
room, to replace an existing detached 2 car garage
2.) Assess the current condition of the main house
roofing slates and flashings and repair/replace as
necessary.
3.) Remove and replace the existing gutters and downspouts
on the house with custom fabricated copper.
4.) Assess the current condition of all of the existing
flat roofs on the house and repair/replace as necessary.
The addition, besides being the main
garage, was to be functional for additional storage
and to bring the laundry room from the basement to
the first floor. Many hours were spent researching
and procuring materials and finishes to meet the projects
goals.
Our assessment of the roofing concluded
that all flashings and flat roof materials required
replacement. The homeowners required that we return
the flashings and flat roofs to the original condition
when the house was constructed, which meant installation
of copper materials. We were also directed to affect
all slate repairs, add ventilation to the main house,
and rebuild the exterior dormer walls.
With the cooperation of the homeowner,
architect, and suppliers, we were able to successfully
complete this project to the satisfaction of the homeowner
in a little more than 6 months, which was 3 months
sooner than scheduled.
