Due
to the gradual effects of the area's harsh
environment, it became necessary to provide
for the exterior renovation of Holy
Hill National Shrine of Mary. F.J.A. Christiansen
Roofing was chosen as the Prime Contractor.
Holy Hill Shrine of Mary sits atop one
of the highest points in the state towering
some 1350 feet above sea level. Due to the
unpredictability of weather and wind conditions,
proper scaffolding was critically important.
Roof replacement required the removal of
the original 80-year old asbestos roof materials.
Our sheet metal craftsmen tied in the slate
roof through intricate copper details, valleys
and flat-seam copper panel roof areas. Because
the church is a registered landmark, no
changes could be made to the exterior renovation
of the building, which required all sheet
metal and copper details be recreated to
match the original construction.
