  If your the proud owner of a home with a slate roof, you enjoy exceptional advantages that other roofing types just can not match. Slate is incomparably beautiful, lending your home an air of classic elegance and dignity.

  Slate Roofing Restoration: Saving Tile & Money
  Even the most durable roofs need repair at some point, though. If you needrestoration or repair of your slate roof, contact the UandCS LLC Roofing experts. A experienced roofer-owned business for more than 17 years, we specialize in the proper installation of all types of slate roofing.
  
  What causes slate roofs to deteriorate?
  
  There are a number of considerations that must be taken into account wheninspecting a slate roof for repair, including flashing quality, nail and fastener type—and quality of the tiles, themselves. Often, the slate tiles have simply outlasted the other components. That’s not surprising when you consider that a galvanized nail can rust in 30 years, while slate can last for 150 years.
  
  Instead of complete replacement consider slate restoration
  
  A slate roof is not inexpensive, so you’ll want to avoid unnecessary costs. Anyroofing contractor you choose to hire should do everything they can to reclaim slates that are in good condition and only replace those that cannot be reused.
  
  Here’s the process UandCS LLC Roofing follows (and your roofing contractor should to):
  
  Carefully remove each slate in the work area,
  Inspect it for damage,
  Reinstall each tile that is in good condition , and
  Replace broken or missing tiles.
  When it comes to slate roofing, material & labor costs are higher than with most other roofing materials out there. Why add to the cost by replacing the roof entirely. Our restoration process will save you considerable replacement expense, and reduces material waste.
  
  Our highly skilled and conscientious craftsmen understand that slate roofing is an art as much as it is a science, and will treat your investment with the respect it deserves. You should be also be aware that the most common reasons for slate roofing problems are poor repair jobs.
