Houses From Mannington's 1889 Oil Boom

The first oil well in the Mannington field came in during October 1889 on a farm just outside town, and the field became one of the biggest in the state. Oil and gas money built much of Mannington in the years that followed. That is why the town has so many solid frame and brick homes from the 1890s and early 1900s, plus century-old commercial buildings downtown. On these older homes we usually find layered roofing over board sheathing and old flashing around brick chimneys. We tear off to the deck, repair what is rotted, and re-flash the masonry the right way. Mid-century ranches and capes on the edge of town often need ventilation upgrades more than anything.

Barns and Farmhouses Out Toward the Hamilton Round Barn

Drive out of town on US 250 and the farm country starts quickly. The Hamilton Round Barn, built in the early 1910s for a dairy and now a museum, is the best-known roof in the area. On farmhouses and barns around Mannington, metal is the usual choice. Standing seam works well on homes, while exposed-fastener panels are a practical fit for barns and equipment sheds. Big roofs mean careful planning of panel lengths and deliveries down narrow farm lanes. Snow is the other concern. Metal sheds snow all at once, so roofs over doors, walkways and driveways need snow guards laid out for the pitch and panel length.

Buffalo Creek and the Low Ground Through Town

Buffalo Creek runs right through Mannington on its way to the Monongahela, and much of the town sits on the low ground along it. In July 2017 heavy rain pushed the creek out of its banks into roads and homes in Mannington and down the valley through Farmington. Even in normal years the creek bottom stays damp. Homes close to the water see moss on shaded slopes, rot along fascia and soffit, and gutters that overflow because the downspouts cannot keep up. Larger gutters and downspouts help, along with splash blocks or extensions that move water away from the foundation. Inside, a well-vented attic keeps condensation from building up under the deck.

Ranches and Capes on Mannington's Outer Streets

Past the older blocks near downtown, Mannington's streets fill in with ranches and Cape Cods from the 1950s through the 1970s, plus a scattering of newer homes on the outskirts. Capes come with their own roof problem. The finished upstairs rooms sit right under the roof with little space for insulation or airflow, so they bake in summer and grow ice dams along the eaves in winter. Adding proper baffles and a ridge vent during a replacement makes a real difference. Ranches are simpler, but many still have a single layer of original shingles that is cupped and losing granules. Those are straightforward replacements and a good time to add ice and water shield.
