Executive Summary
At the request of Cory Bextermueller, Construction Manager for St. Charles Countyand Ryan Graham, Park Historian for St. Charles County Parks Department, CSRCwas asked to inspect the roofs at the Daniel Boone Home & Heritage Center locatedat 1868 Highway F in Defiance, Missouri 63341. This condition assessment isneeded to establish budgets for repair, maintenance and roof replacement.
On May 26, 2016 CSRC's Joseph Mileti met with the aforementioned St. CharlesCounty staff and with Jim Peanick, Director at the site. Mr. Peanick has been atthe complex for some time and has the best knowledge of the roofs age andleakage conditions at the various buildings. All roofs were then inspected from theground which is functional for an assessment of this type and scope.
Reference Standards
• The 2015 International Building Code, Chapter 15, Roof Assemblies andRooftop Structures.
• The National Roofing Contractors Association Roofing and WaterproofingManual-Fourth Edition
• The Cedar Shake & Shingle Bureau publications
Inspection Findings
The complex has sixteen numbered buildings on site and another eight structuresthat are not included specifically in the self-guided tour book but are storage andgazebo structures associated with a numbered building. With the exception of thePavilion, which is a new architectural metal panel roof and the Gift Shop, whichhas an asbestos tile roof covering, all the structures have wood shingles or woodshake roofs.
The common conditions noted are:• Cupping & curling• Displaced ridge cap• Inadequate ventilation• Organic growth• Missing gutter• Premature weathering
These conditions are documented specific to each building in the photo array ofthis report. The following table is our assessment, with budget estimates formaintenance, spot repair or replacement.

Service rates range from $95-$102 per man-hour. Maintenance includes removal of debris from the roof surface and water outlets. Repairs are related to a specific item that needs to be restored to an as built condition. Repair as Needed, are actions to stop water leaks prior to budgeting for roof replacement. The Potters Shed is not priced as the entire structure should be replaced.
CSRC uses the following classifications and guidelines:
Condition -
Good roofs and those that have not exceeded their design service life. Fair condition and roofs that have not exceeded design service life.
Old roofs that have exceeded design service life and/or roofs that have been restored previously. Poor & Failing
Conclusions & Recommendations
Action Plan
Perform regular maintenance and spot repairs. _______ Perform restorative repairs with the intent of getting the roof in a condition where regular annual maintenance can be executed.
- -
Repair as needed to stop water leaks until fun��_i�re budgeted for replacement.

Wood roofing has a design service life of 40-50 years based upon suppliers warranty parameters. We have enclosed a document from Watkins Sawmills as a reference. The Cedar Shake & Shingle Bureau is more conservative and use 30-40 years, based upon geographic location. It is our professional opinion none of the roofs installed on the complex are likely to meet or exceed this design service life. Our opinion is based upon the following conditions documented in this report:
Many of the roofs are installed over solid deck which makes is difficult for the wood to dry rapidly. When the exterior sides dry they will shrink. The wet and moist undersides are soft and weak, which results in curling and bowing. Improper nailing patterns may also be a factor, but it is not the dominant reason in our professional opinion. The fact that many of the newer roofs, those installed in the last four years, show this condition is reason to upgrade some installation methods.

Three or four of the buildings have ridge shingles that extend above the plane of the roof.This is referred to as "combed" or "turkey feathers" and the intent was to capture a detailconsistent with the time period. This detail is susceptible to wind damage and many of theimmediate repairs are related to replacing wind displaced ridge shingles.
Recommendations
1. Incorporate underlayment that allows for the wood to dry quickly and evenlyfollowing a rainfall. (See Cedar Breather brochure)
2. Install wood shake versus wood shingles on future projects. The shake is moreconsistent with product available during the early 1800's and medium grade shake ismore hail and impact resistant than medium grade wood shingles.
3. Cease specifying the combed ridge cap shingles.

Please note:
ONLY experienced professionals whofol low proper safety and workmanship
practices should implement the informa tion contained herein.
Certi-label™ cedar is naturally long-lasting
Cedar shakes and shingles have been used for hundreds of
years. They have proven their longevity in actual weather
conditions, in all types of climates. Cedar shakes and shingles
contain oils that make them naturally decay resistant. High
humidity areas can get added protection with Certi-Last"
pressure-impregnated preservative treated material. Cedar's
insulative quality, aesthetic appeal, and wind and impact
resistance make Certi-label cedar shakes and shingles the
natural choice for your roofing and siding material.
Longevity starts with a quality manufacturer
Not all cedar products are alike. Purchasing cedar products
with the "Certi" brand name on the bundle label guarantees
you that the mill undergoes inspections by an independent
third party inspection agency. Only Cedar Shake & Shingle
Bureau ("CSSB") member mills are allowed to label their
products with the Certi-label. Each member mill's bundles will
have the distinctive Certi-label tucked under the bundle strap.
Locating Certi-label products is as close as your nearest
computer or telephone. Contact the CSSB for more
information.
Longevity continues with aquality installation
Roof construction plays a major role in determining the
lifespan of cedar roofs. Proper design is absolutely critical to
ensure long-term roof integrity. Proper installation will help
maximize the life of cedar products. CSSB Approved Installers
have met membership criteria and continue to prove
themselves with each job they complete. Approved Installers
offer a workmanship guarantee, references, and are the only
contractors authorized to give homeowners the Member
Manufacturer's Lifetime Limited Warranty administered by the
CSSB. Locating Approved Installers is as close as your nearest
computer or telephone. Contact the CSSB for the names of
members in your area.
Experienced care and maintenanceprofessionals can make recommendationsbased on:
• Zinc or copper strips nailed at the ridge cap and on the field
of the roof can be effective to control moss and algae. The
optional use of these strips can be eliminated by using
Certi-Last" preservative treated products.
• Overhanging branches should be kept trimmed away from
the roof. This will prevent leaves, small branches and other
debris from building up and keeping the roof wet.
• Gutters and downspouts need to be cleaned regularly,
usually in the spring and fall. Downspouts (leaders) should
run directly to the ground or to another gutter below.
Never let a downspout drain directly onto a lower roof
surface.
• Cedar needs to breathe, and therefore needs to be kept
clean. Do not allow leaves, branches or other debris to
build up on the roof. Both surface areas and keyways
(spaces between shakes and shingles) need to be kept
clear.
• Ensure ventilation is available, year round. Areas with
louvers, ridge vents, roof vents, and soffit vents need to be
kept clear and never blocked off. Adequate ventilation
ensures that heat and moisture do not build up in the attic
area. Adequate ventilation also prevents water from
accumulating at the bottom of the roof and then freezing
(ice damming).
Certi-label™ cedar is also availablewith a pressure-impregnatedtreatment processFor even longer life span, where climate is a factor, CSSB
members offer Certi-Last" pressure-impregnated preservative
treated shakes and shingles. These products are ideal for areas
of high humidity. The CSSB recommends using Certi-Last"
products in the following areas: Alabama, Delaware, Florida,
Georgia, Hawaii, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Mississippi,
North Carolina, South
Carolina, Texas (in the counties of: Angelina, Austin, Brazos,
Chambers, Fort Bend, Galveston, Grimes, Hardin, Harris, Jasper,
Jefferson, Liberty, Montgomery, Newton, Orange, Polk, Sabine,
San Augustine, San Jacinto, Trinity, Tyler, Walker, Waller, and
Washington), Virginia and West Virginia. Read the Member
Manufacturer's Lifetime Limited Warranty administered by the
CSSB for more details.
Certi-Last" products are cedar shakes and shingles that are
factory pressure-treated by quality treaters who are members of
the CSSB. Contact the treatment company for warranty details.
Pressure-impregnated treated Certi-Last" (preservative) or
Certi-GuardK (fire-retardant) products should not receive after
market roof treatments without written permission from the
manufacturer of such products.
A word about topical treatmentsfor installed roofs
There are hundreds of companies offering topical roof spraying
and cleaning services. The CSSB has conducted an in-depth
study of care and maintenance systems, and provides the
following summary:
• Avoid the fly-by-night operation that has no permanent
office, no workmanship guarantee, and no local references.
Fly-by-night operations often gouge consumers for
thousands of dollars beyond the value of their service,
leaving them with damaged roofs covered with unsuitable
and sometimes dangerous treatment products.
Proper design is absolutely critical to ensure long-term roof integrity.
For even longer life span, where climate is a factor., CSSB members
offer Certi-Lasf preservative treated shakes and shingles.
If you elect to have a topical treatment applied to your cedar
roof, the CSSB recommends the following:
• Check references including consumer, Better Business
Bureau and Chamber of Commerce.
• Ask about the treatment product that is being used.
• Ask to see the company's workmanship guarantee, license
and workers' compensation coverage.
• Ask to view roofs that the company has treated, both
recently and a few years prior.
Topical treatment products
It is not within the CSSB's mandate to recommend brand
names of topical roof treatment products. The CSSB does,
however, recommend the following:
DO use a topical treatment product that:
• Offers a MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet that lists
product ingredients and safety precautions).
• Is labeled as a cedar roof treatment product or has a letter
from the manufacturer stating that treating cedar roofs is an
appropriate use of this product.
• Is a water repellent, UV inhibitor, and/or EPA registered
wood preservative.
• Has a manufacturer's performance guarantee.
DO NOT use a topical treatment product that:
• Makes outrageous claims (such as a 10-year effectiveness).
• Makes fire-retardant claims.
• Is a sealant, waterproofer or plasticizer,
• Contains unfortified linseed oil, diesel fuel or ciank case oil.
The CSSB is aware of numerous bleaching and cleaning
agents. Many claim to be effective on moss/mildew removal or
accelerating cedar's change to the weathered gray color.
Consumers are advised to heed the preceding topical
treatment precautions before allowing such products to be
applied to a cedar roof.
Powerwashing
This is the most controversial issue in the care and
maintenance industry. It is a fact that high pressure washing by
inexperienced people will cause significant damage to any
material. Some debris can easily be removed with garden hose
pressure. Some contractors powerwash to clean roofs, while
others do not. If powerwashing is used, the roof should receive
a topical treatment to restore the roof. The CSSB recommends
having a professional assess each job on an individual basis. A
professional should consider the following factors to determine
if powerwashing is appropriate or not:
• Age, condition and environment of roof
• Gallons sprayed per minute
• Fan tip size
• Distance spray nozzle is held from roof
• Pressure per inch and others...
The beauty of cedar
Another good thing about cedar is that it is possible to replace
and repair parts of the roof, without worrying that the
replacement shakes or shingles are significantly different in
composition from the original shakes or shingles. Over the
hundreds of years that cedar has been used, the product has
remained unchanged... it's still cedar. As cedar advances to its
mature stage, it is natural to expect some pieces to require
replacement. Individual repairs are possible, and with prompt
attention, proactive repairs can extend the life of your wise
Certi-label cedar investment.
Repair overview
The following diagrams give an overview of correct repair toolsand methods.
Tools to repair cedar shake or shingle roofs
1. Slater's Ripper

angle to keep the shim
from sliding out of repair.
The shim should be slid all
the way under the course
to be repaired and out of
sight. If well done, this type
of repair should last as long as the roof.
Removing a damaged cedar shake or shingle
from an existing roof
Pry up the shake to be removed and the shakes directly above
the shake to be removed so that the nail shafts and heads can
be accessed under the shakes. Pull out or cut nails using hack
saw blade saw, pry bar or slater's ripper.
Use hooks on the side of slater's ripper or hole in the pry bar
to hook nail heads under the shakes to pull the nails. The
shake can then be pulled and wiggled out of the roof.
Replacing a missing shake in the roof field,
ensuring that the nails are not exposed
Slide a shake fitted to the empty area into the empty area.
Hold the shake 1/2" below the final fitting position. Install two
of the proper nails at a 45 degree angle at the butt of the
covering course. Drive the shake up the last 1/2", covering the
nail heads, using a wood block against the shake butt to
reduce splitting.

Cedar Breather® Underlayment for wood roofing
Cedar Breather: Powerful, Economical Protection for Wood Roofing
Cedar Breather® is the solution for preserving the beauty and life of wood
roofing. As a fire-resistant underlayment for wood shingles and shakes,
Cedar Breather provides space for a continuous airflow between the
solid roof deck and the shingles. The patented three dimensional
design of Cedar Breather allows the entire underside of the shingle
to dry, eliminates excess moisture, prevents thermal cupping
and warping, and reduces potential rotting.
For optimumperformance in woodroofing applications,use Cedar Breather®with Rapid Ridge 7rolled ridge vent.
For quick and easy installation, Cedar Breather rolls out,
installs without any special tools, and eliminates the
need for furring strips. Its matrix remains unaffected
by UV light, heat or cold, for long-lasting, durable
performance.
The patented three-dimensional matrix of Cedar Breatherallows continuous airflow and even provides cushioningduring severe hail.
