Our work on the Cairnwood Mansion, the Beaux Arts style residence designed by Carrere & Hastings in 1892 for the industrialist and founder of Pittsburg Plate Glass, John Pitcairn, was nominated for a Gold Circle Award for “Outstanding Workmanship – Steep Slope” by the National Roofing Contractors Association.

Existing built-in gutter was extensively rotted and required rebuilding and re-lining (w/ EPDM). We provided lcc cap-flashing to allow for future replacement of gutter lining without need for removal of slates.

Insulation was replaced on top of exposed T&G sheathing to enhance energy efficiency, and installed plywood to provide nailing surface for new slates. Chose lcc ridge-roll to make maintenance easier.
