Repairing Slate Roofs

Slate roofs can and should be repaired. It's vital to complete the proper repairs to cracked, broken or missing slates to prevent possible water damage, structural degradation and roof and sheathing deterioration. 

When slate shingles do go missing, the gaps that form can lead to more serious roof stability problems, including water damage and mold. So don’t delay getting them replaced! 

The other part of your slate roof that may require some regular maintenance is the flashing. Flashing is the metal material that holds chimneys and other structures to your roof and also helps keep your roof water-tight. 

The experts at Copper Slate & Cedar have the knowledge and tools to inspect and determine what repairs may be needed, and complete them before the damage becomes worse and leads to bigger problems.

Maintaining an Existing Slate Roof

The most important slate roofing maintenance tip we can give you is also the easiest one to do. When it comes to caring for a slate roof, it’s always a good idea to call in the professionals. A planned yearly inspection and cleaning can let you catch damage before it gets too serious, and help you stay ahead of any needed repairs. The experts at Copper Slate & Cedar recommend having your roof inspected in the spring, so you can catch any damage that took place over the winter. This inspection and cleaning includes an evaluation of your Gutter System, which should be cleaned 3-4 times per year depending on the surrounding foliage, to prevent backed up water from damaging your roof.
