Historic Slate Restoration in New Hope, PA
- Where:
- New Hope, PA
- Material:
- Reclaimed and matched natural slate with copper flashing



What was wrong
An 1800s stone farmhouse with slipping slate and a previous owner's asphalt patch on one slope.
What we found
Most of the original slate was still good. The copper had given out and the asphalt patch was trapping moisture in a wall built to breathe.
What we did
Salvaged and sorted the sound slate, removed the asphalt patch, rebuilt the flashing and valleys in copper, and reset the roof with matched slate.
How it turned out
Period-correct roof, documented start to finish with photos for the owner's records.
