Caring for Our Beautiful & Historic Church
Roof Repair
Roof Repair Overview
As we approach the end of the year, we invite you to help fund an urgent and necessary project: the repair of the church’s historic copper roof. This work is necessary to protect the church from water intrusion and long-term structural damage.
Our goal is to raise $50,000 before December 31 to complete this project.
Why This Repair Is Needed
Specialists have identified two major valley sections of the copper roof that require immediate attention. Weathering and age have compromised the panels and underlying structure. If left unaddressed, leaks can cause significant damage to the church interior, plaster, electrical systems, and historic artwork.
This project includes:
Removing and salvaging existing copper roof panels
Repairing and stabilizing the underlying structure
Installing new high-temperature underlayment
Fabricating and installing new copper valley panels
Reinstalling salvaged panels with proper fasteners
Adding protective sealants and flashing
Cleaning the gutter and roof system
All repairs will be completed by professionals according to industry standards and include a 2-year warranty.
