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.

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.

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.

Here at GH Roofing Corp, we're excited to earn your business! Locally owned and operated, we are known in the area for our prompt service and attention to detail. Customer satisfaction is always our primary concern, so be sure to give us a call today!

"Martin, of RH Roofing was personable, pleasant, and a professional in every sense, and every step in completing 2 repairs on my roof. His approach to finding the leaks, using photos, climbing into my attic, describing the conditions that existed proposing the best solution, and cost, was refreshing. I had 4 big name roofing companies come in to provide an estimate; the choice of which company to work with was easy as each contractor’s approach and presentation of their solution, cost, and follow up was unique! RH Roofing quickly repaired the 2 leaks, using photos at every step of the work. Upon completion Martin said an unheard of statement “now we wait for rain, after that I will send my invoice”. In fact, it didn’t rain for 3 more weeks until this past Sunday and Monday we got a good hard soaking rain. Martin reached out to ensure that the repair work held up at which time I asked that he send his invoice. I highly recommend RH Roofing!"

"We had a problem with the flat roof.. There was extensive water damage. I called a number of companies. Aastro was the first to show up, and the only company that actually did roof repairs. Frankie came out and did an inspection of the roof. In addition to the water damage he found a number of holes in the ridge vent. He gave us estimates on minimal repairs to the water damage and the holes in the shingled portion of the roof and a more comprehensive repair and silicone coating for the flat roof. That was the route we chose. It was little more than I expected. But with TS Erin still undecided about where she was going to land we decided to go with it. The techs Saloman and Gregorio were out there the next day working on the repairs. They worked quickly and clean. They earned every penny they're paid and then some. Frankie and Rogelio, the production manager, checked in regularly and the work was completed in two days. From start to finish it was a five star experience."
