Slate: Naturally Beautiful, Fireproof

& Long-Lasting!

Slate is a prime example of Nature’s beauty, an attractive and eco-friendly roofing material that enhances the appearance of any home or office. 

In addition to its aesthetic, slate provides exceptional protection against fire and weather-related damage, including hail and heavy winds. When properly installed and maintained, a slate roof can last 100 years or more!

Besides its beauty and durability, a slate roof is also an energy-efficient roofing choice that can significantly reduce your heating and cooling costs.

If you want the area’s top-rated slate roofing company, consider Union Roofing. We are experts in slate roofing!

SLATE ROOF INSTALLATION

Typically, it takes six to seven days for a professional contractor to install a high-quality slate roof.

The process typically involves several stages, including removing the old roof, preparing the surface, installing the underlayment, laying the slate tiles, and finishing the edges and details. 

Be aware of contributing factors that may impact your roof installation:

  • Inclement weather: Cold and rain can slow the roofing installation process.
  • Size of your house or workplace: The larger the building, the longer it can take to install a slate roof.
  • The roof’s pitch: A roof with an extremely steep pitch may require additional safety equipment for the crew. Accordingly, a shallow pitch may require special underlayment to prevent water seepage into the building below.
  • Historical significance of the building: Some landmarks require special permits and extra care to preserve the building’s historical and structural integrity.
  • Structural damage: If there is significant damage to the building or roof deck, contractors must make the necessary repairs before installing the new roof.

slate roof repairs

While slate is a durable roofing material, it is not impervious to damage, especially if an object strikes it hard enough.

Slate roof repairs include everything from improperly installed or misaligned tiles to cracked and missing tiles. In some instances, widening gaps between slate tiles can create openings where water can collect, damaging rooms below and fostering the growth of mold, mildew, algae, and rot. 

While a professionally installed slate roof is a thing of beauty, shoddy workmanship or cut corners can lead to costly repairs down the road. For instance, cheap tiles can chip or break off. 

Likewise, improperly soldered joints and wrongly sized fasteners can lead to tile fractures. Additionally, incorrect underlayment — or the improper installation of the underlayment — can further endanger an otherwise stable roof.

Professional slate roof repairs are affordable and, with proper maintenance, can extend the life of your roof for years to come. 

Slate Roof Restoration

A restored slate roof can transform the appearance of your home or workplace while adding to the property’s value. 

Before beginning the restoration, one of our GAF-certified contractors will conduct a thorough inspection to determine the condition of your slate roof.

Next, we will remove all signs of moss, mold, mildew, algae, and rust. Using cleaning products specifically suited to slate tiles, we gently scrub the tiles.

Then, we repair or replace all cracked, broken, missing, or misaligned tiles. Since the tiles must be handled with care, this part of the process takes time. 

Our roofer will also install any valleys, ridges, and flashing that you may need, thus safeguarding your home or office from water damage. 

Finally, we will apply a slate roofing sealant to protect the roof from water leakage.

Slate Roof Maintenance

While your slate roof can last for many years, annual inspections and maintenance can keep your roof in peak condition.

The professionals at Union Roofing start with a careful assessment of your roof, checking for:

  • Chipped, cracked, or broken tiles
  • Missing tiles
  • Tiles that are misaligned
  • Signs of water damage, especially in the attic or top floor
  • Clogged gutters and other debris on or around the roof
  • Damage to the flashings
  • Damage to the roof deck

Upon completion, the contractor will make minor repairs; if necessary, you can schedule repairs for major slate roof repairs. Addressing problems early on can save you headaches later.

In addition to annual inspections, it is important to inspect your slate roof after major storms, especially if hail, falling tree limbs, or high winds have occurred. 

Both Commercial & Residential Slate Roofing Services

For commercial properties, slate roofing provides an eco-friendly, sustainable way to lower energy costs and guard against the elements. In fact, a slate roof enhances a building’s insulation, keeping indoor temperatures cooler in summer and warmer in winter.

For residences, a slate roof signals taste and sophistication, boosting both curb appeal and property value. 

A high-performing material, slate can withstand the harshest conditions, including hail, high winds, heavy snow, lightning, and falling tree branches. 

Moreover, slate is fire- and pest-resistant, adding another vital layer of protection for businesses and homeowners alike.

Finally, slate tiles come in various colors, thicknesses, and finishes, complementing the unique beauty of a home or workplace. 

Slate Roof Installation

Typically, it takes six to seven days for a professional contractor to install a high-quality slate roof.

The process typically involves several stages, including removing the old roof, preparing the surface, installing the underlayment, laying the slate tiles, and finishing the edges and details. 

Experienced slate roofing contractors may be able to complete the installation faster than those who are less experienced, but it’s essential to prioritize quality over speed to ensure that your new slate roof will last for many years.

The slate roof specialists at Union Roofing will guarantee your complete satisfaction as we work efficiently and carefully to provide you with a beautiful, new slate roof.

Be aware of contributing factors that may impact your roof installation:

  • Inclement weather: Cold and rain can slow the roofing installation process.
  • Size of your house or workplace: The larger the building, the longer it can take to install a slate roof.
  • The roof’s pitch: A roof with an extremely steep pitch may require additional safety equipment for the crew. Accordingly, a shallow pitch may require special underlayment to prevent water seepage into the building below.

The Cost of Slate Roofing

While most roofing materials have a lifespan of 20 to 30 years, a slate roof can last 100 years or more, making a new slate roof a worthwhile investment. 

Typically, the cost of a slate roof for a house with a 2,000 square foot roof will run between $20,000 and $60,000, with the average cost being $40,000. 

By contrast, commercial roofs vary widely in terms of size and shape, which means that the cost of your slate roof will depend on your particular property. Therefore, it’s best to consult with an experienced contractor for a realistic estimate.

SUCCESS STORIES

Always prompt responses to my requests for service and to questions. Quality work for a fair price.

LAURA C.

I would highly recommend these guys. I called the office on a Thursday morning for a quote to repair our roof. Frank Jr. contacted me back in less than 15 minutes. Frank was at our door an hour later to give us a quote. Their price was better than the other two companies we already had quotes from. We didn’t have to wait at all for them to get back to us and schedule a time to come look at our roof. Frank got a crew out to us the following morning. We have no more leaks and our roof looks great.

NICK P.

My Mom and I always use Union Roofing. They are very good with their easy and customer-friendly payment plans. We really appreciate their very generous and helpful service. We would not call anyone else.
