Project Overview
L&M Roofing undertook a comprehensive restoration of the Manhattan College Chapel, a historic structure requiring specialized attention to preserve its architectural integrity. The project encompassed structural reinforcements, aesthetic refinements, and modern upgrades while maintaining the chapel’s traditional appeal. A key focus was placed on restoring the chapel’s dome, intricate wood trim, and external masonry, ensuring long-term durability and weather resistance.
Roofing System & Materials
To maintain historical authenticity, premium materials were carefully selected for restoration. The dome restoration involved copper flashing and weather-resistant coatings to enhance longevity. Wood trim elements were repaired using high-quality hardwood and treated for weather protection. The scaffold and sidewalk bridge installations were critical in providing safe access for workers while preserving the surrounding structures. Additional masonry repairs included repointing brickwork and replacing damaged sections with matching materials to maintain the chapel’s original aesthetic.
Execution & Safety Measures
The restoration process began with an extensive site assessment, followed by the erection of a sidewalk bridge and scaffolding to facilitate safe access. The dome restoration involved careful removal of deteriorated materials and application of new protective coatings. Wood trim and molding were meticulously restored, ensuring precision in craftsmanship. Throughout the project, safety protocols were strictly adhered to, minimizing disruption to the college community. The final phase included sealing and painting, resulting in a revitalized chapel that blends historical charm with structural resilience.
