About Rose Hill Estate
The Rose Hill Estate dates back to the early 19th century and stands as one of the area's most iconic Southern homes. With its classic Greek Revival architecture, the estate has long served as a symbol of heritage and hospitality in Nash County. Today, it continues to host weddings, events, and community gatherings, all while maintaining the character and craftsmanship of its original construction.
Our Work on the Slate Roof
Our team was honored to be entrusted with performing much-needed repairs and maintenance on the estate’s slate roof, helping to ensure the longevity of this historic structure.
The scope of work included:
Replacing missing and broken slates to restore the roof's functionality and appearance
Refastening loose slates to prevent future displacement and potential leaks
Ridge repair to secure the roof's peak and preserve its structural integrity
Flashing replacement and repair, particularly around critical transition areas, to safeguard against water infiltration
Debris cleanup in valley areas to ensure proper drainage and reduce the risk of moisture damage
Each step was completed with care and attention to detail, respecting the original materials and design of this historic home.
Why It Matters
Maintaining a slate roof—especially on a historic property like Rose Hill—is about more than just repairs. It’s about preserving the craftsmanship and legacy that defines the structure.
