18th Century Cape Roof and Chimney Restoration
Little Compton, Rhode Island
18th Century Cape House, Wood Shingle Roof and Chimney Repair.
The roof on this 18th century Cape was long compromised, requiring extensive sheathing patching and replacement. Note deflection in shingle lines, caused by two centuries plus of settling into the New England landscape. All structural damage was repaired, as necessary. New lead flashing set into the chimney to counterflash the connection to the roof.

Detail view, the other way. Through the plastic wrapped around the chimney, we can make out the new lead flashing set into the chimney to counterflash the connection to the roof.
