Residential Roofing - Tudor
Tudor Home: 3-car garage, laundry room add-on, and roofing
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 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.

The detail (left), an original tin roof (far left), over the master bedroom and the main house was in poor shape with many holes. It was replaced with a 20-ounce hand formed flat lock seam copper roof (immediate left). Every joint was soldered. This roof required a total of over 200 man-hours in the field and shop. | ||||||
All of the existing flashing details were replaced with 20-ounce copper including chimney flashings, valleys, ridge rolls, soil pipe boots, step flashings and vents. Copper snow guards were also added. | ||||||
