The Garden District is home to the finest collection of antebellum mansions in America, with Greek Revival and Italianate architecture that dates back to the 1850s. At Lapeyre Roofing, we specialize in preserving these irreplaceable homes with roofing that meets the strictest historic preservation standards. Many Garden District properties still feature their original slate roofs, complex hip and gable configurations, and ornate copper work that requires specialized knowledge to maintain or replicate. Our crews understand the unique challenges of working with properties under historic district oversight and can navigate the approval process while delivering craftsmanship worthy of these architectural treasures.
From the grand estates along St. Charles Avenue to the elegant homes on Prytania Street and throughout the neighborhood's oak-canopied blocks, we work with the materials these homes demand: Welsh and Vermont slate, clay barrel tile, standing seam copper, and period-appropriate metal roofing. Whether your mansion needs slate restoration, a complete reroof that maintains historic character, or FORTIFIED upgrades that protect against hurricanes without compromising aesthetics, Lapeyre Roofing has the expertise your Garden District home deserves.
