Expert Guidance
While slate is a natural stone that can withstand the elements, it is not inherently waterproof, which is why we install a high-temp waterproofing underlayment system (Ice & Water Shield) for maximum protection. Additionally, copper is required for all metal components – including flashings, nails, and hangers – to prevent corrosion and ensure longevity. With our expertise in proper slate installation and material selection, we deliver a long-lasting roof built to the highest standards.
