Mansards/Cornices/Corbels
Expert restoration and repair of mansard roofs, cornices, and corbels. Preserving Bayonne's historic architecture with skilled craftsmanship and period-appropriate materials.
Detailed Inspection
We examine the mansard, cornices, and corbels from roof level and with close-up access to identify rot, structural issues, and water damage.
Restoration Plan
You'll receive a clear explanation of what needs repair, what can be preserved, and the materials and methods we'll use to match the original.
Expert Craftsmanship
Our crew performs the restoration work using traditional techniques, quality materials, and attention to architectural detail.
Protection & Finishing
We ensure proper flashing, drainage, and weatherproofing, then finish all elements to protect and beautify your building for years to come.
Can you match the original materials and design?+
Yes. We work with skilled millworkers and metal fabricators to replicate original profiles, materials, and finishes. We'll show you samples and mockups before proceeding with full restoration.
How do I know if my cornice or corbel needs repair or replacement?+
We'll inspect the structural integrity and extent of rot or damage. Often, sections can be repaired with epoxy consolidants and Dutchman repairs. When decay is too extensive, we'll rebuild using the same species of wood and joinery methods.
Do mansard roofs require special maintenance?+
Yes. The transition between the steep lower slope and flatter upper slope is prone to ice damming and flashing failure. We recommend periodic inspections and prompt repair of any loose slate, damaged metal, or compromised flashing.
