Old East Historic District Roofers Who Know Attica Homes

Concentrated on the 400 block of E. Washington Street and the 400 and 500 blocks of E. Monroe Street, this district preserves two story frame and brick homes from the late 1800s that were built following the 1847 Wabash and Erie Canal era of growth. Original rooflines on these structures feature steep pitches common to Italianate and Late Victorian construction, and any shingles not replaced within the past 15 to 20 years are overdue given the region's documented hail exposure. Because the district is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, exterior changes including roofing materials and colors may be subject to local historic review before work can proceed.

Hail sits behind a lot of the Old East Historic District calls, and hail damage is the kind that argues with you. Photographs taken on the roof rather than from the lawn are usually what settles the argument.
