When the heritage-listed Antigua Boat Sheds required expert restoration after earthquake damage, MK Roofing was proud to lead the project. With 146 years of history, preserving the sheds meant more than a roofing job — it was about protecting a treasured part of the community.
A Historic Restoration Project
When the iconic Antigua Boat Sheds needed expert roofing restoration, MK Roofing was proud to be chosen for this significant heritage project. These beloved sheds have been a cornerstone of our community for 146 years, and after the impact of recent earthquakes, preserving such important spaces became more crucial than ever.
The Challenge
This wasn’t just any roofing job, it was about preserving a piece of living history. Our team spent two years meticulously planning and researching to ensure we could replicate the original design that created these iconic structures. Every detail mattered, from understanding the fundamental movements of the historic building to sourcing materials that would honour the sheds’ heritage while providing modern protection.
Our Approach
Working on a structure with such historical significance required our team to go above and beyond standard roofing practices. We carefully studied the original design elements, ensuring our restoration would maintain the authentic character that makes these boat sheds so special to the community. The project demanded precision, patience, and a deep respect for the craftsmanship of 146 years ago.
The Transformation
The results speak for themselves – what was once weathered and worn has been transformed into a pristine example of heritage preservation. Our comprehensive reroofing solution has given these historic sheds new life while maintaining their authentic charm.
