StillwaterStillwater's river-town houses deserve careful hands
Stillwater's hillside neighborhoods above the St. Croix hold some of the oldest homes in the state. We bring a remodeler's patience to their roofs and exteriors.
A historic town on a steep hill
Stillwater was a lumber town on the St. Croix River, and many of its homes date to the 1800s. Victorian and Italianate houses climb the bluffs above downtown and the Stillwater Lift Bridge, many with steep roofs, ornate trim and chimneys.
Newer neighborhoods spread to the west and south, but the historic core is what makes Stillwater distinct, and it's where roofing takes the most care.
Old-house roofing
On a historic home, the goal is to protect the house without stripping its character. That means thinking about shingle color and profile, how flashing meets old masonry, and whether trim can be preserved.
Stillwater has heritage preservation guidelines in its historic areas. If your home is in one, check with the city about exterior changes before we finalize materials.
Stillwater FAQ
Can composite shingles give my Victorian a slate look?
Yes. Composite slate is designed for that. Confirm any historic requirements first.
Do you work on newer Stillwater homes too?
Absolutely. Most of the city's homes are newer, and we do standard re-roofs there regularly.
