Bay Window Lead Roof Replacement
A period property bay window roof where the original 40 to 60 year-old lead had finally reached end of life, lifting and splitting at the front edge after years of thermal-movement fatigue. We peeled the old lead back to reveal a deck rotten beyond patching, replaced every board, re-established the falls, then re-laid Code 5 lead sheet dressed over traditional wood-core rolls. The rolls let the lead expand and contract with the seasons without splitting again. Dressed neatly into the soffit and flashings for a 60+ year service life, with no membrane replacement cycle to plan for.
