Charleston Homes, Kept True to Their Era
Preservation Is a Craft
The reasons Charleston's historic homeowners trust us with their rooflines.
Period-Correct Always
We match the era's materials, profiles, and details so a restored roof reads as original, not replaced.
We Restore Before We Replace
Most historic roofs can be saved. We repair and restore the original wherever the material allows.
BAR & Landmark Fluent
We navigate Charleston's Board of Architectural Review and landmark requirements as a matter of course.
Hand-Craft, Not Assembly
Hand-formed copper, matched slate, and true metalwork — the craftsmanship these homes were built with.
Craftsmanship That Honors the Home
Historic Roofs Are All We Do
Twenty-four years and 500 historic homes — a craft the fast, modern trade abandoned long ago.
We Match the Era
Salvaged materials, period profiles, and matched patinas so the restoration disappears into the original.
Preservation, Documented
BAR-compliant work, documented and warrantied, that keeps your home's history and value intact.
The Copper Is the Signature
On Charleston's historic homes, the copper is where craftsmanship shows — the valleys, the standing-seam roofs, the finials and flashings that age to a living patina no two roofs share. Heritage Peak hand-forms copper the way it was done a century ago, so the metalwork on your restored roof looks as though it has always been there, and will be there long after we're gone.

Charleston Homeowners on Heritage Peak
Our antebellum home on Sullivan's Island needed its roof restored without losing an ounce of its character. Heritage Peak sourced period-correct materials, hand-formed the copper, and matched the historic slate so perfectly you can't tell where the old ends and new begins. This is preservation, not just roofing.
The Board of Architectural Review is exacting downtown, and Heritage Peak handled every requirement flawlessly. They understand Charleston's historic roofs — the metal, the copper, the details — better than anyone we consulted. Impeccable craftsmanship and endless patience.
Everyone else wanted to tear off our 1890s standing-seam metal roof. Heritage Peak restored it — repaired, resealed, and repainted it to another fifty years of life, keeping the home's history intact. Extraordinary integrity and skill.
Restoration FAQs
Can my historic roof be restored instead of replaced?
Usually, yes. Historic slate, tile, and metal roofs are remarkably durable — a failing roof is most often a matter of flashing, a few damaged pieces, or a worn finish rather than the whole roof. We restore and repair the original wherever the material allows, preserving both the roof and the home's history.
Do you handle Board of Architectural Review requirements?
Yes — it's central to what we do. We're fluent in Charleston's BAR and landmark-district requirements and handle period-correct materials, profiles, and documentation so your restoration is approved and compliant.
Can you match my home's original slate or metal?
In nearly every case. We source and salvage period-correct slate, clay tile, and metal, and we hand-form copper to match original profiles and patinas so a repair or restoration disappears into the original roof.
How long does a historic restoration take?
It depends on the roof's size, materials, and condition, and on sourcing period-correct materials. We'll give you a clear timeline in your proposal — historic work rewards patience over speed, and we plan accordingly.
Do you work on landmark and downtown homes?
Constantly. Much of our work is on Charleston's downtown historic-district and landmark homes, where preservation standards are exacting — exactly the work we specialize in.
