Staunton’s historic districts wear some of the finest standing-seam roofs in Virginia. Keeping them right takes a roofer who knows the old ways — and the new ones.
From Gospel Hill to downtown Lexington, the Valley’s 19th-century homes were crowned with standing-seam metal — hand-formed, double-locked, and built to last a century. Many have. But age, failed coatings, and well-intentioned bad repairs eventually catch up, and replacing these roofs with asphalt destroys both character and value.
Baber Enterprises restores and replaces historic metal roofing with period-correct profiles: true standing seams, correct pan widths, hand-formed details at hips, dormers, and built-in box gutters. Where original metal is sound, restoration coatings can add decades of life. Where it isn’t, we fabricate new panels that honor the original sightlines.
We understand historic district expectations and can support architectural review applications with specifications and precedent. The result is a roof that satisfies the preservationists, the insurance company, and the next hundred years of weather.

No cost. No pressure. Just an honest assessment from your hometown roofing experts. Most inspections are scheduled within 48 hours.
