Preserving property and history: Clay tile re-roof in Kansas City's Roanoke Neighborhood
Ludowici french tile gave this century-old home a new lease on life.
An important part of our work is preserving the past by maintaining the roofs of historic properties. Kansas City's Roanoke neighborhood began around 1900 and is still going strong today. Using Ludowici French tile, we undertook a complete replacement of this residential roof, including new waterproofing and copper nails and flashing. In addition, our team took care to protect the driveway and landscape during construction. Clay tile roofing is unique, visually striking and requires experience and training to correctly install. We’re honored that homeowners and businesses in Greater Kansas City entrust us with their tile and specialty roofing needs.
