Entire failing plywood and asphalt shingle roof was removed. We installed a new cedar shingle roof, laid atop a high-tech snow and ice shield set on pine board sheathing. First, we restored rotted roof structural members and reverted a repair done in the 1980’s to reflect period correct timbers and joinery.
