🥾 Boots on the Ground: Mulock House roof work

The Town of Newmarket’s specialist heritage roofing contractor, Roof Tile Management Inc. has started replacement of the original slate roof on the Mulock House. The original natural slate roof lasted over 150 years, but now needs to replaced to protect the building interior. The existing painted slate shingles will be replaced with a natural green slate to maintain the heritage character and maximize service life of the roof. The building roof will also be upgraded with a new ventilation layer and improved insulation. This is part of the Town’s commitment to reducing building energy use by more than 50 percent.

This roofing work is the last part of the planned State of Good Repair work on the House, following prior attic and electrical upgrades. Work is expected to begin after Victoria Day, and continue through the autumn of 2023.
