Slate Roof Repair
Our client lives in a beautiful large brick home with a slate roof. The roof never had the proper hip and ridge slate installed so it was leaking in many places. We bid to install the proper slate hip and ridge on his home. With slate, everything is labor intensive. This is because slate is heavy, dusty, dirty, sharp, and needs to be cut with expensive diamond blades. Once the slate is cut, it needs to be hauled up onto high roofs. Nothing about working with slate is easy, however it looks magnificent on roofs so the results are always worth it.
On this job, we had to install 350 feet of hip and ridge where there previously was none. This meant nailing into the original slate which has to be drilled first. The first thing to be installed is a layer of copper flashing which goes down before any of the slate. This helps protect against any moisture. Once the copper is in place, we install the slate which is nailed into the copper and existing slate. It looks great in the end but it is very hard to do correctly.
