Steeple Roofing Contractor by CIS Steeplejack

There comes a time when patching and repairing cant not be performed anymore. When working on steeples, cupolas, bell towers and other high to reach areas,"band-aid" type work is commonly found easy to do. - WE DO IT RIGHT.

"Though it has been maintained and painted over the years, CIS Steeplejack recommendations and keen eye for detail and knowledge of what needed to be done was the most positive thing I've heard and seen in many years as the chairperson of our Properties Committee. My knowledge of the Steeple, its make-up, its history and maintenance goes back 30 years. It was refreshing to not only talk to someone who knows what to do, but see the work first hand being done step-by-step as you took me and anyone up to see the progress. Nothing was disguised or hidden. In the situation of steeple repairs, a quick fix would be easy to hide. This sure was not the case at Parma-South!"

A steeplejack is a craftsman who scales buildings, chimneys and church steeples to carry out repairs or maintenance.

Steeplejacks erect ladders on church spires, industrial chimneys, cooling towers, bell towers, clock towers, or any other high structure. In the United States, steeplejacks now use a belay rope fall-arrest system (similar to the method used by rock climbers) attached to the ladders as they are erected to eliminate free climbing and greatly reduce the risk of falls from height.

Once ladders have been erected, the next stage is usually to suspend a bosun's chair (a strong wooden plank on which the steeplejack can sit very comfortably, pull himself upwards or lower himself downwards, or sit in a stationary position), but abseil equipment is replacing the bosun's chair on many operations because of its lighter weight.

Once this has been done it is possible to use this access to begin building scaffolding to carry out any repairs which may be required. This is done by fixing anchors into the wall (whether concrete, stone, or brick) and "kicking" the scaffolding off from there.

It is also possible to carry out repairs from "suspended access cradles". These are the same type of rig window cleaners use on skyscrapers. The cradle is suspended from four wires. Two of these run through an electric motor which can "climb" or "descend" the wire, and the other two run freely through a box which allows the cradle to travel upwards with no obstruction, but will stop it instantly if it starts to fall. These "suspended access cradles" are popularly called "swing stages" by their crews.

Steeplejacks are called upon to repair or replace masonry (brick, stone or concrete), carry out general carpentry or painting or roof repair, remove and clean and repair windows, as well as sandblasting and other masonry cleaning tasks.

In Ontario, Canada, many steeplejacks are represented by Local 598 of the OPCMIA union (Operative Plasterers, Cement masons and Restoration Steeplejacks International Association of the United States and Canada), and are required to complete a five-year apprenticeship.
