25 years ago a neighbor finished his large very custom home. The roof is enormous with turrets, dormers, chimneys and lots of different roof heights. The original roof was hand cut slate shingles. It was appropriate and beautiful. A new owner moved in six months ago. There were a few shingles that had slipped so the owner called typical roofers who of course told him that nobody knows how to fix a slate roof and so the only answer is to replace it. This of course is ignorant and stupid. It would only require asking an architect to help you find a qualified roofer but wealthy folks don’t need help with stuff like roofing. So the Bozo squad showed up and smashed 11000 square feet of PERFECT slate shingles and shoveled the bits into dumpsters. Then they proceeded to do a very nice job of preparing the structure, installing underlayment, battens and cheap concrete tiles. It looks OK. Essentially, he traded a $160,000 roof for a $90,000 roof and is happy as a clam.

I’m in Cincinnati. Later this summer I’m starting a job on a beautiful old house which has a Ludowici Roof. Its original, 120 years old and in great shape. The house does need a fair amount of restoration work on the exterior, rake / eve facia and there are a couple dormers that need a lot of work. The rake facia on the gables is probably 20” tall, running from the first floor gutter line to a high 3rd floor. 12/12. 40 plus feet long. Bavarian style. Beautiful. Possibly reflash a couple chimneys and fix up a couple flat lock crickets / dead valleys. But the roof itself is fine. Give it a good once over and probably be good for another 100 years.

About 25 years ago I worked on a project for the Navy at the Naval Academy in MD. The dormitory building had been designd by McKim Meade & White and built in 1896. The roof was a Ludowici Tile roof. (My role was to provide a suitable substitute for the terracotta spandrel panels--below each of the 200 windows, that had been removed in a 1960's 'modernizing' effort. We used the 1896 plans to replicate the terra cotta effort with a modern therma plastic--worked like a charm.) The roof was restored, but other than that it required no work at all. This restoration was a wonderful testimony to the Ludowici product.

The roof oozes character. It needs siding that can match it. It pairs well with those old handmade bricks. On a new wire-cut brick house it would likely look out of place.

Walk on it and you'll break alot of tiles. 😂 ridge hooks, roof jacks, gentle crawling. Put pads under ur hook ladder cause it will break tile too.

Do NOT tell ppl to walk on these roofs… especially if they’re over 100 years old. I work on these roofs for a living up in Ohio. Yes very durable and long lasting, probably the best investment roofing you can do. But if you just go walking around on it, it will crack in places you can’t see and will eventually start leaking. If your in an area with a freeze thaw cycle and any water gets into those unseen cracks your asking for an expensive repair.
