On the Shore: Historic Hotel at Famous Lakeside Theme Park Gets New Roof
Theme parks generally rely on off-season time to do major renovations, including roofing projects. But what happens when the downtime in mid-winter features almost a dozen days of below-zero temperatures and more than 60 inches of snowfall? Getting up on the roof can be a cold, challenging activity.
“One of the reasons polymer Bellaforté slate roofing tiles from DaVinci Roofscapes were chosen for the Hotel Breakers re-roofing project was because the installation could be done in cold weather without having to warm the roof tiles before installation,” said Jim Carson, vice president of A-STAR out of Macedonia, Ohio. “The hotel is at Cedar Point theme park on the shores of Lake Erie. That's a challenging situation, especially since we experienced the worst Cleveland winter in 30 years right in the middle of the installation!”
