When it comes to roofing, especially in regions with harsh weather conditions, durability and proper installation are critical to the longevity of the materials used. Recently, we completed a project on a residential porch, where we replaced split leadwork with fresh, high-quality lead. The previous leadwork had deteriorated due to incorrect fitment, which ultimately led to splitting. This is a common issue we see when lead is not properly installed or when the wrong code of lead is used for the specific needs of the roof. In this case, we used Code 6 lead, a thicker, more resilient grade that’s well-suited for exterior work and can better withstand temperature fluctuations and heavy rain over time.
Using Code 6 lead for this job provides extra durability and ensures that the roof won’t just look great but will also stand the test of time. Lead has long been a trusted material for roofing because it is not only malleable and weather-resistant but also highly sustainable due to its recyclability. Correct installation and choosing the appropriate lead code are essential to avoid issues like those encountered in this project. With our team’s expertise, we’ve restored the porch’s roof to a high standard, securing the property from the elements and adding a clean, professional finish that will provide peace of mind for years to come.
