Q: When should I replace my slate roof?

If more than 30% of your slate roof is damaged, it's time to consider a full replacement. This will prevent further deterioration and avoid costly recurring repairs. A professional slate inspection (costing between $130 and $360) can confirm whether repairs are sufficient or if a full roof replacement is the better option.

Q: What is the expected lifespan of a slate roof?

A slate roof can last anywhere from 60 to 150 years, depending on factors like installation quality, regular maintenance and repairs, and local weather conditions. Compared to materials like clay and concrete, which often last around 50 years, a well-maintained slate roof offers superior longevity, durability, and long-lasting aesthetic appeal.

Q: Can I perform temporary slate roof repairs?

Yes, you can use temporary patch solutions, such as roofing cement or patchwork, to provide immediate relief for minor leaks or underlayment issues observed from inside your home. However, these provisional fixes do not replace the need for a permanent, professional exterior repair, which is necessary to ensure the long-term integrity and weather resistance of your slate roof.

In business since 2013, Wiedmann Roofing has quickly established a household name as a trusted roofer in Merritt Island, Florida and the surrounding areas. Our team can complete a range of services for our customers - from general roof repair to complete re-roofing, new installations and commercial roofing. With Wiedmann Roofing, you can get the solution you need right away. Our certified Merritt Island roofing contractor has years of experience performing roofing repairs, reroofs/rehabilitation and complete new installation for new construction projects. From shingle roofs to TPO roofing systems for commercial businesses, our specialist can take care of it all. If you're ready to tackle your roofing project, get in touch with our qualified roofing contractor in Merritt Island today for your free estimate! Military discount available.

"From start to finish, Wiedmann Roofing did an amazing job of replacing a new roof on our home. If you're looking for the best engineered roof, most efficient service and fairest affordable price, this is the place to go. While replacing our soffits and fascia (different project), the contractors discovered that there was a significant amount of deterioration in some of the roof frame, which would have to be replaced before they could complete the job. To help us through this unexpected emergency, the folks at Gutters Unlimited (equally amazing!) contacted Wiedmann to see if they could get a crew out to give us an estimate for the repair. Joe B contacted us and came out to inspect the damage and discovered that there were a number of other problems with the existing roof that should also be addressed (e.g. no metal channels in the roof valleys). He gave us an estimate for the repair as well as an estimate for a complete replacement. The cost of a new roof was about four times the cost of a repair, so we decided to get a new roof. Definitely the right decision. Joe B gave me a detailed scope of work that showed exactly what I would be getting, including Tamko Titan 160 mph Shingles (39 squares), new drip edges, new goosenecks and ventilation stacks, peel and stick underlayment, replacement fascia wood and plywood, and of new valley metal--all top-of-the-line stuff. He was able to schedule the start date within two weeks of contract signing. Work began right on time and was done quickly and professionally in about three days. There was a fair amount of wear and tear to a lot of the underlying plywood, which requited replacing, but this did not slow down the installation crew at all. Daily clean up was meticulous. The bottom line is that Wiedmann stepped up to help us out of a jam, came through with a superlatively-engineered solution and gave us a remarkably fair price (significantly less than all of the estimates that we had received from some other roofers). During the entire process, communication was effortless. I ask a lot of annoying questions and they answered all of them patiently and clearly. Joe A was a fountain of information on design and installation and Emily offered tremendous assistance in dealing with permits and inspections. If you're looking for a new roof, save yourself some time and call Wiedmann."

Hi! I’m Edgar. Thank you for inviting me into your home. I want to take a moment to give you a little background information about myself. I was born and raised in Vega Baja, Puerto Rico, and moved to Brevard County, FL, 21 years ago. I am a proud parent to the most amazing twins, Caleb and Camila. They just turned 9 years old. I’m a huge foodie, I could literally spend my paycheck on food, haha! One of my favorite hobbies is cooking, and one of my classic dishes is my chocolate crème brûlée. It’s the best in Brevard County, at least according to my kids. I also love anything related to cars and racing. Drag racing, NASCAR, Formula One, Indy Car, you name it, and I will watch it. Growing up, I used to drag race in my hometown. My dream car is a Ferrari 458 Italia. I want to thank you for inviting our company to give you an estimate for your roofing project. I am grateful for the opportunity to help homeowners find the best roofing solution for their homes. I look forward to working with you and doing everything possible to earn your business. Once again, thank you from your Local Roofing Experts family.

The price was amazing , right on par with the four others I looked at but the best price around. All of his workers were polite , respectful and punctual. I really would not want anyone I know to hire anyone but this company!"
