A Look Back at 2026 — One of Our Best Years Yet

With fall upon us and winter fast approaching, we're beginning to taper off our salvage and reclamation efforts and shifting gears toward storage, organization, and pre-planning for 2027.


This year has been an incredibly busy season. With the help of several contractors, demo companies, and trusted partners, we've completely filled the tile yard and supplied literally thousands of squares of roofing tile, slate, and tens of thousands of trim tiles to clients across the country.


I wanted to share some numbers — because they tell the story better than anything else I could say.

The Numbers

Nearly 1,000 squares of clay tile procured and salvaged and 400 squares of natural slate.


Well over 1,400,000 pounds of material — roofing tile, slate, and trim — that would have otherwise gone to the landfill.


Hundreds of thousands of individual pieces, sorted, culled, and made available for reuse on historic restoration projects, period-accurate new construction, and matching repairs across North America.


When it's all said and done, this will most likely be one of our most successful years of salvage and procurement in the history of Renaissance.

What This Means for You

These numbers reflect something important — our commitment to keeping rare and irreplaceable historic roofing materials out of the landfill and in circulation for the projects that need them. Every square we salvage is a square that doesn't have to be reproduced, approximated, or substituted.


If you have been searching for a specific tile or slate profile, or anticipate a matching or restoration need in 2027, now is a great time to reach out. We are heading into the planning season with more inventory than we have ever had — and we intend to keep moving it.


As always — if there's one thing I enjoy, it's talking tile and slate roofing. Reach out anytime.
