As of September 10, 2011, a process I began in December, 2005, is complete: our building has a new roof. Both a new roof on top of the building and a new mansard roof with new tiles along the front facade. Here are some photos of the final stage of replacing and repairing the original 1928 Lucowici tiles:
This area experienced some water damage due to missing tiles; our adept roof contractors completed replaced the woodwork in this areas (and even recreated the original brackets). |
Once the broken tiles were removed, they were replaced with matching 1928 tiles our property manager found in Corinth, Miss. |
Close-up of newly purchased tiles. The tiles on the entire building were originally green, but were painted red at some point over the course of the building's history. |
The Association board chose to repaint all of the tiles green since this was the historically accurate color. |
Before... |
...and after! |

ReplyDeleteYour new roof is awesome! I can feel the spirit of Christmas in your green roof and red siding. Haha! Anyway, I can see that it’s really appropriate to use the green coat since it adds to the contrast your house. It’s been almost two years now and I hope that this roof is still in its good condition and is still pretty in green. :D

It's been years since the roof is repainted; I hope it still looks good as new. The secret to a long lasting roof paint is having the roof thoroughly cleaned before painting it, so the rust won't mix with the paint and the color will last longer.
