Your roof isn’t just a roof. It’s a piece of history. Whether it’s a century-old clay tile roof in St. Augustine, a weathered wooden shake roof on a historic Jacksonville home, or a slate masterpiece on a commercial building, preserving it takes the right expertise. That’s where Steel Rudder Roofing comes in.
We understand the unique challenges of historical roof restoration. The materials, the craftsmanship, the architectural integrity—it all matters. And when you work with us, you’re getting a team that respects history just as much as you do.
Preserving a historic roof isn’t just about keeping the rain out. It’s about maintaining the character, charm, and authenticity of a property. Northeast Florida is home to some of the most stunning historic architecture, particularly in places like St. Augustine, the nation’s oldest city. These roofs tell stories. They reflect the time period they were built in, the craftsmanship of a bygone era, and the resilience of structures that have withstood storms, hurricanes, and the Florida sun.
But restoring these roofs isn’t as simple as patching up a leak or slapping on some new shingles. It takes precision, experience, and an understanding of both old and modern materials to ensure a seamless blend of past and present.
Before we touch a single shingle, we do a deep dive into your roof’s condition. What materials were originally used? How much of it can be saved? What’s the best way to reinforce it without compromising its historical integrity? We inspect everything from underlayment to flashing to structural integrity.
Restoring a historic roof isn’t the same as a modern roof replacement. It takes patience, skill, and deep respect for craftsmanship. Here’s why Steel Rudder Roofing is the best choice for your historical restoration:
