FAQ
Common questions about roof replacement for the Garden District's historic mansions and preservation requirements.
Historic district guidelines typically require maintaining or replicating original materials. However, options exist depending on your property's designation. We can evaluate your specific situation and recommend materials that satisfy both preservation standards and your budget.
Complex slate or tile roofs on larger properties can take two to four weeks depending on the roof size, complexity, and material requirements. We plan carefully around weather and provide detailed timelines before work begins.
We provide documentation, material specifications, and support for your permit applications, though property owners typically submit applications themselves. We can recommend materials and methods that meet preservation standards.
