Historical Repairs
Slate is the most common material used on historical buildings, church roofing and is a dense, durable material mined from quarries mostly located in Vermont and Pennsylvania. Roofing slate comes in many different sizes, thicknesses, and color variations to help suit the design you have in mind. Standard roofing slate is 3/16 to 1/4 of an inch thick, but is available up to 2 inches thick, if desired. The longevity of a slate roof can be anywhere from 50 years to 400 years depending on the quality of slate used and the skill level of the slate roofing contractor.
There are also several roofing contractors who maintain slate roofs in New Jersey but most are not truly qualified and do not have the hundreds of references as a church roofer for quality work that you can rely on. New Jersey Roofing Company provides you both confidently.
Historical Roof Maintenance
Slate and tile roof systems more so than any other, MUST have a professional to install and maintain them. Most performance issues relative to these systems are not due to material defects, but more so due to improper workmanship. On existing slate and tile roofs, it is always a good idea to have them inspected at least once a year, looking for obvious defects like slipping pieces or de-lamination of the surface.
Keep in mind that a qualified slate roofing contractor or tile roofing contractor can be difficult to find when not having any specialized training .
