If you are fortunate enough to own a home with a slate roof, you should take care of it properly. Slate roof maintenance is important because slate tiles are probably one of the most beautiful and luxurious roofing materials on the market today! These roofs usually last upwards of a hundred years and do not require much maintenance, but when they do, they need the care of an experienced slate roofing company, and this article will explain why.
Slate Roof Inspections
You want a company that specializes in slate roofing to do your roof inspections. Having just any roofer going up there is just not worth the risk. You need someone that is familiar with the sensitivity of a slate roof. Having just anyone work on a slate roof is like taking your Ferrari to a Honda mechanic and asking them for a tune-up, they wouldn’t know where to start and if they did, chances are they would ruin your Ferrari!
Slate Roof Maintenance
The fact is that although slate roofs do not need much maintenance over their hundred or so year lifespan, due to their delicate nature when they do need maintenance or repair, it’s of paramount importance that you only allow someone that knows what they’re doing to work on it. Exercise extreme caution whenever you let anyone near it even with the small things like giving your slate tiles a scrubbing. Many people will even tell you not to have your slate tiles scrubbed in the first place, but if you think it is necessary to have the slate tiles cleaned, make sure you hire someone who has an excellent reputation and has been doing this for a long time.
