Kirberg Company Repairs The Roof Of The Cathedral Basilica Of St. Louis

Dec. 14, 2011 - PRLog -- Few companies are trusted enough to repair the roof of one of a city’s most treasured buildings, but Kirberg Company was recently given such an honor when hired to repair the roof of the Cathedral Basilica of St. Louis (also known as the New Cathedral). The specialized roof is made of green, glazed tile, and requires fastidious attention to detail, but Kirberg rose to the challenge thanks to their outstanding staff of first-class roofing professionals.

The Cathedral Basilica repair work was completed on the hips on the tower, the points where the two roofs meet, and where the hips cover the junctions. The Cathedral Basilica’s roof, an integral part of the Byzantine and Romanesque design of the Roman Catholic Church that took over eighty years to complete, took only one and a half weeks for Kirberg Company to repair.

“It was an honor to be given the responsibility of repairing such an important structure within the St. Louis Catholic Diocese,” says Eric Kirberg, Vice President of Marketing of Kirberg Company. “The roof is extremely high so the roofers had to work out of a bucket attached to a crane. But, at Kirberg, we’re used to tackling challenging situations, and we were happy to do it.”

In addition to the recent repairs to the Cathedral Basilica’s roof, Kirberg has also had the honor of repairing the roof of the Rosati-Kain High School, the building located across the street from the Cathedral. Constructed in a similar fashion to the Cathedral Basilica, the Rosati-Kain High School has a specialized roof constructed of Red Spanish Tile, which Kirberg Company repaired with mastery.
