Semple Gooder - Historical Restoration - Our Policy and Mission Statement:
Proper historical restoration returns the building fabric to a sound and serviceable condition, preventing further damage from normal usage and the elements.
Historic restoration work involves the opportunity to renew details that have performed well, and analyze details that have not, incorporating appropriate alterations.
Current installation techniques used for slate, copper and lead systems should follow traditional applications. Present day underlayments and fasteners should work in concert with traditional materials that have stood the test of time.
A flexible cooperative teamwork approach between the owner, consultant, and Semple Gooder, will address unique site conditions, while attaining success for the building project.
Health and safety concerns may require the installation of snow rails. Period bronze and brass pieces will suit that type of application, with justifiable cause.
