InstallationSlates set with copper or stainless nails, proper headlap maintained, valleys and flashings done in copper for a system that lasts generations.

Cleanup & DocumentationAll debris removed, site left clean. You receive a detailed condition report and workmanship warranty.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a slate roof last? +

Hard slate (Vermont, Pennsylvania) typically lasts 75-150+ years. Soft slate lasts 40-75 years. It's the longest lasting roofing material available.

Can my slate roof be repaired rather than replaced? +

In most cases, yes. If the structure is sound, individual slates can be replaced at a fraction of full replacement cost. We assess each roof individually.

How do I know if my slate needs repair vs. replacement? +

Signs of individual repair needs: cracked or slipped slates, loose flashing, nail pops. Signs of replacement: widespread delamination, excessive porosity, widespread breakage.

What does slate roof repair cost? +

Individual slate repairs typically range from $200-$800 depending on accessibility and number of slates. Full replacement is quoted by square footage. Free estimates always.

Do you work on landmark buildings? +

Yes. We are familiar with NYC Landmarks Preservation Commission requirements and can help navigate approval for slate work on designated properties.
