Gardner Carpenter House (1793) - Cedar Roof Replacement
Overhead view of the Gardner Carpenter House - another Historic Restoration Project in Norwichtown, CT. Built in 1793, the original house (there have been some additions put on in back) needed a new roof - we specified and installed western red cedar. After removing the existing roof, we laid down an Ice & Water Shield underlayment. This view captures the 24 gauge red copper flashing we installed on the chimney as well as cleansing strip just below the ridgeline - which reacts with rainwater to deter organic growth such as mold, moss, or lichen. Also visualized here is the cedar shingle ridge cap.
