Lizmc1779 Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 Have a flat roof on my Gabert house (which needs TLC & roof is first task) - needs to be completely replaced. If anyone has recommendations for roofers with flat/low-slope experience I would love to hear them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenH Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 I'm sorry I don't have an recommendations for roofers, but could you tell us more about your house? We know very little about Gabert's work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lizmc1779 Posted April 30, 2015 Author Share Posted April 30, 2015 Oh sure - but I admit my husband is more knowledgeable than me about this. It's at 3007 S. Braeswood. Great house - money pit. What would you like to know? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Specwriter Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 My very cursory search of Lenard Gabert indicates he died in 1976 and was listed in the 1962 American Institute of Architects (AIA) directory as having an office (or perhaps a home) at 1315 Bell in Houston. Lizmc, I cannot recommend a specific roofer but I do recommend contacting David Bucek at Stern and Bucek Architects (713-527-0186) especially if you decide to go the full restoration route. His firm has done many notable renovations and restorations of mid-century modern houses in the area including the Philip Johnson designed house for John and Dominique de Menil. I'm sure the restoration process can be phased to fit schedule and budget. Mr. Bucek can certainly give you useful advice in that regard. Good luck.
