Roof Replacement: Photos 1-7 <br /> The existing roof is covered with asphalt architectural shingles with metal flashing <br />and drip edges. This roof is compromised and is otherwise at the end of its useful life. This <br />project proposes removal of the existing roofing on both the house and garage to be replaced <br />and upgraded with new EcoStar synthetic slate with a random width blend (6”,9”,12”) and <br />color blend TBD (first choice) with copper flashings and drip edges. This roofing upgrade <br />will include a copper metal pan (flat seam) roofing system at the valley between porch turret <br />and main house where roof extends behind the chimney, this is to ensure a better system to <br />carry water away from main roof and direct it around the chimney. This will be mostly <br />blocked by the chimney from view and is necessary to provide a more resilient roofing <br />system to avoid future issues at the chimney. This new roofing will include new ice and <br />water shield underlayment’s over the entire roof. <br /> <br />2.) New Gutters & Downspouts: Photos 1-7 <br /> The existing gutters are painted 4” half round, with round downspouts. The existing <br />fixtures are damaged and missing in many locations. This project proposes replacement and <br />upgrading of the gutter system with new 5” half round gutters and round downspouts in <br />copper. New concrete splash blocks will be installed at grade for all downspouts. <br /> <br />3.) Chimney Reconstruction: Photos 8-9 <br /> The existing chimney has begun to list away from the main structure and is <br />approximately 6” out of plumb due to inappropriate flashing between the roof and chimney <br />which has allowed moisture to infiltrate the chimney stack. This project proposes taking the <br />masonry chimney down to the foundation and reconstruct using the original masonry units as <br />much as possible with replacements sourced to match original materials and will use a lime- <br />based mortar of a mix to match the existing composition and strength. The reconstructed <br />chimney will replicate the existing in material, dimension, tooling, design, detailing, etc. If <br />the fireplace lining is found to be in good condition, the chimney may only be brought down <br />to the limestone level. A new stone cap is proposed to replace the existing stone piece at the <br />top of the chimney and at the buttress at the lower mass. Additionally, where the masonry <br />transitions between limestone and brick, the profile steps back with a sloped brick transition <br />with limestone corners. This project would like to request use of limestone for these sloped <br />brick panels in order to reduce the number of horizontally exposed head joints. <br /> <br />4.) Masonry Re-Pointing & Lintel Replacement: Photos 10-11 <br /> This portion is focused on masonry maintenance around the entire home, with <br />additional focus given to two specific lintels and window surrounds. Existing are two cast <br />concrete lintels with steel reinforcement – one each located on the south and west elevations <br />at the ground floor level. Due to rust expansion of the steel reinforcement blowing out the <br />face of the concrete lintels, this project proposes replacement of each of these lintels and <br />associated surrounds and sills with new limestone components carved to match the existing
