How to Properly Roof Historic Homes

May 13, 2024

If you’re the owner of a historic home, you likely already know how important it is for you to be careful with any upgrades—especially to its exterior. After all, a home improvement project for a historic home isn’t the same as a project for a more modern property. There are certain things you need to consider as you plan an upgrade, and that’s certainly the case when it comes time for a roof replacement. Knowing how to properly roof a historic home is of the utmost importance, and that’s why it’s paramount that you work with the right team for the job. Luckily for residents of Georgia and Florida, Roofing Done Wright is the perfect partner for a roof replacement of any kind—including the project you’re planning at your historic home.

The Importance of Properly Planning a Roof Replacement for Your Historic Home

When it comes time to invest in a roof replacement for your historic home, it’s important that you understand the significance of such a project and are aware of why you need to get it right. After all, properly planning and executing a roof replacement for an older home is crucial to preserving the property’s integrity and charm. Because the roof is such a major part of the home’s curb appeal and overall structural integrity, there’s no doubt that a replacement should be completed with a thoughtful approach.

For starters, you need to choose the right material for your roof replacement, as the wrong one can damage the historical integrity of the property and simply look out of place when compared to the rest of the architectural elements that the home’s exterior possesses. Beyond that, you need your new roof to be charming and aesthetically in line with your home but with the modern features of a new roof. In other words, you’ll want to make sure your roof is in line with the aesthetic of a historic home while still serving as an upgrade in terms of durability and energy efficiency. When you strike the right balance with a roof replacement at your historic home, you’ll maintain the timeless beauty of your home while improving its performance and therefore elevating your property’s value.
