FAQ
Common questions about repairing slate, tile, and historic roofing on Garden District properties.
In most cases, yes. We source Welsh, Vermont, Buckingham, Peach Bottom, and other historic slate varieties from suppliers specializing in restoration materials. We match color, thickness, and texture as closely as possible to your existing roof.
Quality slate can last 100-150 years. If damage is localized (a few broken tiles, failed flashings), repair makes sense. When slate becomes soft, delaminating, or when more than 20% of tiles are failing, replacement may be more cost-effective. We provide honest assessments during inspection.
We prioritize leak calls and can usually provide same-day or next-day emergency tarping and temporary repairs. Permanent repairs are scheduled as soon as materials and weather permit.
Thank you for considering us for your Garden District roof repair. We will get back to you during normal business hours.
