Challenge

Hart’s Roofing & Construction was approached by the owners of a 19th-century Victorian home in Newport, Rhode Island. The property, a cherished landmark in the area, was in desperate need of a roof replacement. The existing roof had suffered extensive damage from years of exposure to harsh coastal weather conditions, leading to leaks and compromising the integrity of the historic structure.

Solution

The team at Hart’s Roofing & Construction recognized the importance of preserving the home’s architectural character while ensuring modern durability. They proposed a comprehensive roof replacement plan that included:

• Careful removal of the existing roofing materials
• Thorough inspection and repair of the underlying structure
• Installation of a high-quality, weather-resistant roofing system
• Preservation and restoration of original decorative elements

Implementation

The project began with a detailed assessment of the roof’s condition. Hart’s team discovered that several rafters had been compromised by water damage and needed replacement. They carefully removed the old roofing materials and repaired the structural elements before proceeding with the new installation.

For the new roof, Hart’s Roofing & Construction selected premium architectural shingles that closely matched the original look of the home. These shingles were chosen for their durability, wind resistance, and ability to withstand the coastal climate. The team also installed a modern underlayment system to provide an additional layer of protection against moisture infiltration.

Throughout the process, Hart’s craftsmen took great care to preserve and restore the decorative elements of the roof, including intricate gable details and ornamental metalwork. This attention to detail ensured that the home’s historic character remained intact.

Results

The roof replacement project was completed on time and within budget, much to the delight of the homeowners. The new roof not only resolved the immediate issues of leaks and structural concerns but also enhanced the overall appearance of the property. Key outcomes included:

• Improved energy efficiency due to better insulation
• Enhanced curb appeal, maintaining the home’s historic charm
• Increased property value
• Long-term protection against harsh weather conditions
