HISTORIC ROOF REPAIR, RESTORATION & REPLACEMENT
Cornett Roofing Systems specializes in historic roof repair, preservation and restoration. While many historical roofs are made with durable materials, they are still susceptible to deterioration. You should act quickly to protect and preserve your historical building and its roof. When you partner with us, you can trust our team to have the skills and knowledge to safely restore and maintain your building’s roof.
OUR HISTORICAL ROOFING SERVICES
Cornett Roofing Systems is experienced with many kinds of historical roofing materials. Whether your historic building has a slate or copper roof, you can expect our team to know how to handle the material properly to strengthen structural integrity while maintaining authentic appearances.
Slate Tile Roofs
Slate is a beautiful, durable material commonly found on historic roofs. While slate tiles possess a long life span, they may become loose, cracked or missing as the roof ages and endures various weather events.
Cornett Roofing Systems has extensive experience working with slate tiles, so our specialists provide expert care as they restore and repair your slate roof. We also have one of the country’s largest collections of old and rare slate, enabling us to match your existing roof with genuine products.
Clay Tile Roofs
Clay tiles offer long-lasting performance since they resist fading, drying and fire. Tiles are still susceptible to cracking and wear as they age, so if your historical building has a French or Spanish tile roof, you will need professional restoration or repair services to ensure your building and roof are safe.
We are highly experienced in installing, restoring and repairing clay tile roofing systems. Our large tile roofing inventory helps us match your historic building’s existing roof.
Wood Shake Roofs
Wood shakes are a common material used in historic buildings. They offer exceptional strength and insulation but have a shorter life span than other historical roofing materials, such as slate or clay, so they require experienced maintenance.
Cornett Roofing Systems has repaired and installed wood shake roofing systems for decades, so you can trust our expert team to properly restore your historic roof. We have access to premium wood shakes to help increase your roof’s durability and strength.
Copper Roofs
Copper roofs are common on historical buildings due to their durable, fire-resistant, corrosion-resistant and aesthetically pleasing properties. Copper requires specialized care to ensure its optimal performance.
Cornett Roofing Systems has a team of experienced copper roofing specialists who can expertly care for your historical building’s copper roof. We can restore entire copper roofing systems as well as roofing components.

Posted on Erik HembreTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a great experience with Cornett on our roof replacement project. They were detail oriented, responsive, communicated well, quick and we love the finished product. Anas was knowledgeable and helpful in the sales department, Steve was a great project manager, and Amanda was efficient and responsive with the administrative end of things.Posted on Jennifer NicholeTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. They haven’t even done our roof but I would recommend them. They are helping us in a difficult situation. Inexperienced roofers with claims that turned out not to be true can be a nightmare. But Cornett was very helpful in answering all of our questions and making us feel at ease. We can’t wait to see the results.Posted on T HTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Couldn't ask for a better experience, reasonable quote for work expected, great communication from both mgmt, Bruce and Steve, and crew. Marvin and Kennlee. I've started using Cornett for my commercial building needs, would recommend to anyone.Posted on Chris RTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. As an owner of a 100 year old house with a Spanish tile roof, it is hard to find companies that have the skill set to work on my property. I have used specialist companies over the years whose prices have gone up significantly over time and become out of my price range. This time I needed extensive felt replacement on over half of my roof and chimney capping work to make the roof watertight before the winter and was recommended Cornett by a neighbor who used them on their slate roof. I cannot express how great this company was from beginning to end with their personnel who quoted, their contracts team and their project management contacts. They went above and beyond to make my repair work as easy and smooth as possible. Communication from them was exceptional throughout the process and they delivered on what they said they would do, and more. The roof repair team were at mine for a week and were very professional, friendly, clean and tidy. Their workmanship was top notch and their attention to detail was exceptional. The price point was lower than the prior companies I have used and I will certainly be using them going forward. I have recommended their services to friends who have historic houses as well as those with standard roofing. Highly recommended!!!Posted on Ronald SchuetzTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ours was not a simple roofing job. Our 100+ year old home with newer addition also included two porches and the removal of a chimney. Anas and Steve were very professional and answered all my questions - and they could attest that there were many. I checked the area between the original house and the addition where we were experiencing major leaks. Everything is dry after last night's 2+ inches of rain! Cleanup was good and the project was completed in the time predicted. Would definitely recommend Cornett.Posted on Hope HuppTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Was very polite friendly and efficient we loved our experience thank youPosted on Raymond StanleyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This is the project we have used them on. Good service and workers are the strong points. Little things like covering shrubs and flowers from debris are nice touches. Would definitely use them again.Posted on Amber SilverTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our sale rep, AnasKahn, did NOT disappoint. My Husband and I are very high maintenance when it comes to expecting outstanding customer service. We both retired from careers that required 100% devotion to our customers and that is what we require from all businesses we hire or shop at. Anas gave us 100% and we will be his loyal customers in all future transactions. Thanks Anas you are the best!Posted on joe vellaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Had some major clay roof maintenance done and a flat roof redone. They did a great job! Our house is very old and they knew how to handle it. They were very quick to respond and schedule around other chimney work we had being done.
