Slate Roof Repair in Doylestown, PA
A good slate roof can last a very long time. Most of the time, it does not need to be replaced. It needs the right fix.
We fix slipped slates, broken slates, and slate roof leaks. We match the old slate as close as we can, so the repair blends in.
Signs your slate roof needs help
- A slate has slid down and left a gap
- You see slate pieces on the ground or in the gutter
- A water stain shows up on a top-floor ceiling
- Shiny tar or roof cement was smeared on by someone before
- Nails or metal strips are showing on the roof
How a slate repair works
- 1We look at the roof and take photos so you can see the problem.
- 2We gently take out the broken slate without cracking the ones around it.
- 3We put in a matching slate and hold it with a copper slate hook or a hidden nail and strap.
- 4We check nearby flashing, since leaks near slate often start there.
Do not walk on slate
Slate can crack when people step on it. A trained crew uses ladders and hooks so the roof stays safe.
Tar is not a fix
Roof cement on slate traps water and makes later repairs harder. A real slate repair swaps the bad piece.
Match matters
Slate comes in many colors and sizes. We look for a close match so your roof still looks right.
