St. Peter Lutheran Church, Fennimore, Wisconsin, was founded in 1882. When the asphalt shingle roof of the current church structure was nearing the end of its service life, the congregation opted for a long-lasting metal roof.
John Esch, Esch Repair, installed 150 squares of 16” x 32” metal shake panels from Metal Shake Roofing LLC (New Providence, Pennsylvania). The metal shakes complement the Modern-Contemporary-styled structure, which is faced with limestone that was quarried near Mankato, Minnesota.
The size of the project was a challenge for the small company; however, in the end Esch and the congregation are pleased with the outcome. “I spent days on the trim details to get everything just right,” recalls Esch. Now the structure is a showpiece that will look great far into the church’s future. MR
