Board Approves Roof and Siding Work at 265 Paine Street; Owner Praised for Preservation Effort

James Iver, the property owner, explained that the existing slate roof is beyond repair and presented a plan to replace it with DaVinci synthetic slate, install black half-round aluminum gutters painted black, and use Azek for rotten rake and eave boards, painted to match the house. He told the board the slate was beyond repair and that replacement with authentic slate was economically prohibitive.

The board recommended approval of the application as submitted and congratulated the owner for restoring the house while preserving as many original elements as possible (motion Blasdale/Guerriero). The approval included the proposed gutters and Azek trim as described in the application.
