On The Ground

What we find doing roof repair in Elgin

Repairs in the Elgin historic districts are specialist work: turret and dormer flashing, decorative cornice transitions, counterflashing cut into century-old mortar, and original slate still in service on a meaningful number of homes. On the far west side it is conventional step flashing and valley repair.

Decorative detail complicates the termination

Where a roof meets ornamental woodwork or a decorative cornice, the flashing has to work around it. That is slow, careful work and it does not respond well to shortcuts.

Slate assessed before anything else

On a slate roof the first question is condition of the slate versus condition of the fasteners and flashing. The answer decides whether this is a small repair or a large project.

Open exposure on the west side

The newer subdivisions sit on open ground with nothing upwind, so their repair calls are dominated by wind damage at ridges and rake edges rather than by age.
