A meticulous restoration of a 100-year-old Georgian Brick Colonial featuring a luxury CertainTeed Grand Manor roof and handcrafted custom copper Yankee gutters designed to preserve its historic architectural integrity.
The primary inspiration for this project was the preservation of a century-old architectural legacy. This 100-year-old Georgian Brick Colonial required a comprehensive restoration that honored its historical significance while integrating modern durability. The goal was to replicate the timeless elegance of the original slate roof and intricate copper detailing, ensuring the home maintained its stately character and neighborhood prestige for another hundred years.
Planning for a historical restoration of this magnitude required meticulous attention to detail and custom craftsmanship. Our team conducted a thorough assessment of the original 100-year-old architectural elements to ensure an exact match. We sourced CertainTeed Grand Manor shingles in Colonial Slate to provide the weight and depth of natural slate without the structural stress. Furthermore, we engineered a custom copper strategy that included designing a Yankee gutter system, intricate chimney crickets, and flashings that mirrored the home’s original early 20th-century specifications.
The transformation was a masterclass in historical roofing artistry. We performed a complete roof and gutter restoration, replacing weathered materials with a high-performance CertainTeed luxury designer roof that flawlessly captures the aesthetic of the original slate. The home’s functionality was elevated with a fully custom, hand-crafted copper Yankee gutter system and brand-new custom copper chimney caps and crickets. The result is a stunning blend of vintage Georgian charm and modern resilience, restoring the estate to its original grandeur with unmatched copper craftsmanship.
