Keep history alive with Pickard Roofing.

Historical Restoration is a very specific skill which requires extensive knowledge of roofing techniques old & new. Pickard Roofing is known across the Triangle for its expertise in historical roof restorations. Pickard Roofing understands the roof imparts much of the architectural character- and is a crucial element to historical restoration projects.

We work closely with the building owners, contractors, and architects - to evaluate the original roof and building elements, and to recommend a plan that best restore the building to the historical era in which it was originally built.

Our skilled craftsmen have the required experience working with the materials often utilized including slate, tile, sheet metal fabrication, and cornice fabrications. Their well-earned reputation for excellence in historical architectural elements are showcased on historical churches, homes, town buildings, government and educational and other institutional structures.

Customer Profile

Orpheum Theatre Historical Restoration

Historical restoration work is always a company favorite project for the Pickard Roofing team. As Jim Pickard says, “The buildings or homes always have a story to tell.” The recent renovation the Pickard Roofing team participated in at The Orpheum Theatre, in Oxford, NC has just such a story.

What to Expect

Roof repair is complicated even under the most ordinary circumstances. Repairing a historical roof, however, can be far more complex.

Roof Replacement

Replacement of a roof on a historic home must be respectful of the historic character of the home. Specifically, the materials used must be appropriate for the time period and home type.
