Slate roof

philcaseinWPA · Jul 30, 2023

a few weeks (months) ago someone posted about having a slate roof and needing repairs. I replied that I had the same situation. I did find a local contractor who repaired the slate barn roof (several slate missing and a lot that slipped), the slate house roof and another building with a slate roof. Wasn't cheap but not as much as I was worried it might be. Hope it lasts. If the original poster reads this I wonder if he found a solution, I think he was in Ohio. I found this repairer by asking other contractors if they knew anyone who repaired slate.

My mom and dad had a house built in 1963 with a slate roof.
While they had to do some very minor repairs over the years the house still had the original slate 42 years later when they sold the house in 2005.

The new owners ripped the slate roof off down to the 1x6 decking and installed fancy looking modern shingles.

Mom's house was built in 1940 something and has the original slate on it.

A few months ago, my nephew discussed their slate roof repairs, and I shared my similar situation. The good news is that I found a local contractor who did a fantastic job fixing my slate barn, house, and another building's roof dealing with slate roof tiles[https://www.ncsla...w contractors familiar with slate roof tiles.
