Signs an Old Cupola Needs Attention
But before you embark on a restoration project, it's important to understand the signs that your cupola needs attention. Here are some key things to look for:
- Weather Damage: Time and the elements can take a toll on any structure. Look for signs of rot, warping, or missing shingles on the wooden components of the cupola. For metal cupolas, rust can be a major concern.
- Deteriorating Louvers: Loose, broken, or missing louvers compromise the cupola's ability to provide ventilation.
- Worn Finials: Finials, the decorative elements atop the cupola, can become loose or damaged with age.
- Leaky Roof: A leaky roof can damage the interior of the cupola and lead to further deterioration.
- Structural Issues: In extreme cases, the overall structure of the cupola may be compromised, requiring more extensive repairs.

If you identify any of these issues, don't despair. Valley Forge Cupolas can help! Our team will assess the damage and create a personalized restoration plan.
