New Holy Cross Church of WIC, Trenton, N.J. The church started its revitalization in 2008 by cleaning the exterior cladding stonework. In 2011, the slate roof needed to be repaired as the church’s interior faced damage. Shiny Diamond Cleaning & Restoration suggested using metal. According to Marvin Salguero, general manager with Shiny Diamond, metal was chosen based on its look for the historic roof and for its lighter, more durable properties when compared to slate. ATAS International Inc. provided 11,730
square feet of its 29-gauge steel Advanta Shingle (HAS300) in Cape Cod Grey. The shingle is a simu- lated dimensional metal shingle with pre-punched direct-fastening points with a four-way interlock for weathertightness.
