At Oliwill Construction, we believe every historic home deserves to be protected for generations to come
We were honored to complete a roof replacement on this beautiful home in Madison’s Mansion Hill Local Historic District!
Madison’s Mansion Hill Local Historic District is home to the city’s largest collection of intact Victorian houses. We love the Madison area and are happy to integrate ourselves further into the community. It’s a privilege to contribute to preserving the craftsmanship, character, and history that make these neighborhoods so special.
Thank you to our clients for trusting us with this important project. We’re excited to showcase our opportunity and explain why historical jobs require a bit more from our crew.
Strict Rules and Permits
- Local historic boards enforce strict design controls and require special permits, such as a Certificate of Appropriateness, before any work begins. Rules often ban modern, cheap materials if they change the look of the building from the street.
- Approval processes can take months, delaying the actual start date of the project.
Factors That Can Cause Delays
- Historic roofs often need specific, old-style materials like natural slate, clay tiles, or custom copper flashing.
- Finding exact matches takes longer and costs a lot more money than picking up standard asphalt shingles from a local store.
- Older downtown buildings feature steep pitches, delicate turrets, dormers, and unique built-in gutter systems that require master-level carpentry and masonry skills.
- Hidden structural rot or weak framing from decades past often turns a simple replacement into a major surprise repair job.
