When its slate roof deteriorated beyond repair, it was replaced with a synthetic slate roof manufactured by DaVinci Roofscapes and installed by Absolute Roofing.\u00a0Photos: DaVinci Roofscapes<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Back in 1883, a timber-framed Standard Pennsylvania-style barn was constructed with a real slate roof on the homestead of the Hartong family, located in the City of Green, Ohio. After more than a century of service, the worn-out slate roof\u2014and the rotting wood structural support system beneath it\u2014have finally received a facelift.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe structure was deteriorated beyond repair and had been leaking enough to also adversely affect the wood batten nailers,\u201d says architect Chas Schreckenberger, AIA and principal of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bsa-net.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"broken_link\">Braun &amp; Steidl Architects<\/a>. \u201cBecause this was a historic structure, our first choice was to replicate the original slate. When costs wouldn\u2019t allow that, we investigated more economical slate alternatives.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAfter reviewing all our choices, it was easy to make the selection of a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.davinciroofscapes.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">DaVinci Roofscapes<\/a> Single-Width composite slate roof. The appearance of the synthetic slate, its lightweight composition, affordability and durability all made it the obvious choice for this project.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The next step required gaining approval on the roofing choice by the City of Green, which owns the structure, and the Ohio Historic Preservation Office, which awarded a grant to finance the roof\u2019s replacement. Once approval was received, the project started. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.planexus.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Christian &amp; Son Inc.<\/a> was brought in to replace the rotting timbers, and <a href=\"http:\/\/absoluteroofing.com\/cms34\/index.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Absolute Roofing and Construction Inc.<\/a> started the roof installation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe DaVinci slate tiles we specified enabled us to retain the historic character of the barn, even to the point of recreating the large \u20181883\u2019 date on the roof,\u201d says Schreckenberger. \u201cThe final outcome exceeded our expectations and everyone involved is extremely happy with the results.\u201d<\/p>\n<h4>Roofer\u2019s Perspective<\/h4>\n<p>The challenge of recreating the 1883 date on the roof, plus detailing the entire roofing job for the Hartong barn, required a great deal of collaboration between the team at Absolute Roofing and Braun &amp; Steidl Architects. Started in the spring of 2016, from start to finish, the roof frame reconstruction and tile installation took about six months.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_8267\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Screen-Shot-2017-11-20-at-6.55.50-PM.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-8267\" data-attachment-id=\"8267\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/roofingmagazine.com\/historic-1883-barn-gets-new-composite-slate-roof\/screen-shot-2017-11-20-at-6-55-50-pm\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/roofingmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Screen-Shot-2017-11-20-at-6.55.50-PM.png\" data-orig-size=\"890,664\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Screen Shot 2017-11-20 at 6.55.50 PM\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;The 45-foot by 90-foot timber-framed barn is part of the Levi J.

Second, we had to configure the 1883 date carefully.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Recreating the numerals was a challenging task. \u201cThe DaVinci product was slightly different in dimension from the original slate, so it took several layouts to accurately recreate the date,\u201d Kamis notes. \u201cThe original date on the roof had been very faded, so we had some guidelines. In the end, the roof looks terrific with the 1883 date in Evergreen tile colors showing up beautifully against the Slate Black tile background.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The completed roof project received the Contractor of the Year Award from the National Association of the Remodeling Industry in 2016 in the commercial specialty category.<\/p>\n<h4>Historic Homestead<\/h4>\n<div id=\"attachment_8268\" style=\"width: 231px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Screen-Shot-2017-11-20-at-6.56.42-PM.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-8268\" data-attachment-id=\"8268\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/roofingmagazine.com\/historic-1883-barn-gets-new-composite-slate-roof\/screen-shot-2017-11-20-at-6-56-42-pm\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/roofingmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Screen-Shot-2017-11-20-at-6.56.42-PM.png\" data-orig-size=\"504,684\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Screen Shot 2017-11-20 at 6.56.42 PM\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Recreating the 1883 date on the roof was a challenge, and it took several layouts to achieve the original look.

Finished with vertical wood boards, the barn is part of the Levi J.

We\u2019re excited to have the new roof overhead that so perfectly replicates what we believe the original roof looked like in 1883.
