Beyond Maintenance...

This homeowner has discovered 19th century clapboards and trim underneath mid-20th century shingles. He is planning to remove all the shingles to restore the original appearance of his house. This is a major restoration effort that goes far beyond ordinary maintenance of existing materials and features. He will need thorough photographic and historical documentation if the work is to be consistent from the roof--down. Photo: ŠJohn Leeke.
