Slate
& Tile Roof Repair & Replacement & Related Metal Work
The
environment of the rooftop is as harsh as that of any place
on earth. The temperatures can vary 100 degrees in a single
day and the seasonal swings can double that number in some
climates.
More
threatening to these natural rooftops than the regular assault
of the elements is the band of sloppy servicemen that are
the transients that frequent the roofing profession. Haphazard
slate roof repairs are rampant in this day and age of fast
food, the fast buck, and the fly by night roofer. A can
of flashing cement and a trowel is all the unscrupulous
contractor needs to generate almost immediate income. With
little or no expertise and a ladder, these guys are making
slate roof nightmares every day. |
Get the book
before you purchase any home improvements, or
any home, as many topics are discussed regarding
the construction and lumber industries.
|
|
 |
....Well it is actually the guy that uses it
on your slate or tile roof as a method of
repair. Take a look at the destruction that
can be wrought by the unskilled, uncaring, or
unscrupulous contractor: |

A
guy with a ladder and a can of muck slathered
this valley and made a small leak into several
gushers. As air pockets crack and become
fissures, they direct water velocity laterally
and in unpredictable directions. This roof was
leaking worse than before almost by the time
the check cleared the bank. The poor consumer
is left holding the bag again. This guy is out
of the business and working at his night job.
|
 |
|
|
 |
The long pans of this terne metal lined yankee
gutter have expanded and contracted for many
years of service and finally have given way at
the seams. After the use of damaging aluminum
fibrated coating, the next transient repairman
mucked the seams of the tin and the course of
slate above. These areas have begun leaking
worse than before. Total replacement of the
linings and the slates is the only viable
option. |
|
|
?While yer at it, muck that pipe too,? and ruin
another seven or eight slates.
|
 |
|
|
|
Aluminum roof coating is not a fix for a
leaking valley, or for any other leaking roof,
for that matter. Old terne coated ferrous roof
metal that is prone to oxidation will only
rust away under the porous fissures that
quickly develop and hold moisture when such
coatings dry.
Take
notice of the pimples and fissures in this
recent coating application used as a method of
repair for this slate roof.
|
|
|
This
slate roof valley on this 100 year old Vermont
Slate Roof has been maintained. It is coming
due for replacement and all of the original
slates should be able to be reused. |
|
|
|
 |
New
metal valley linings on worthy slate roofs should
be a labor of preservation and the level of
workmanship displayed should leave the lasting
statement of a caring craftsman. |
