Is It the Right Time for Slate Roof Replacement?

Slate roofs are known as 100-year roofs for their durability. Even so, there may come a time where your roof needs repair and replacement. While this operation can prove to be confusing and time consuming, calling in professionals to inspect and evaluate your roofing needs saves time and your valuable dollars.

From a wide array of textures and contemporary to classic designs, slate roof replacement is now a preferred roof material. Whether it’s a rustic, luxury, or uniform aesthetic, Ottawa slate roofs are now available in an assortment of colours, prints and patterns.
Indications that you may need to replace your slate roof could include:

Cracking

Cracks in the seams or between shingles of slate often serve breeding ground for mold and lead to excessive moisture retention. When cracked and broken shingles begin to take on a greenish hue, it may be time to call Special Roofing for repair and replacement.

Water Stains

When slate roof shingles reach the end of their shelf life, their ability to retain water increases. This leads to a build-up of rust which can further cause a domino effect, forcing other shingles to slip off the roof surface and cause damage to the property.

Delamination

Under the serious wet weather conditions in Ottawa, it is common for slate shingles to absorb large amounts of water over the course of the years. This causes slates to peel and pull away from each other creating an uneven roofing landscape.
