Would a Dexter MI Roofing Company Help You with Your Old Slate Roof?

Slate roofs were very popular back in the 18th and 19th centuries. From castles to common houses, slates were used due to their natural resistance against the elements and because they were easy to replace. And that is why any Dexter MI roofing company can help you with any kind of problem you might have with your slate roof.

The most common problems of a slate roof that any good roofer can help you with are the ones regarding the replacement of broken or misaligned slates in your roof. Traditionally, slates were fixed to the wooden structure beneath them using one single nail at the top of them. Then, they would be chiseled in order to make what is known in the industry as “shoulders”. These helped the tiles sit more closely together to avoid water, snow or hail to get in.

Thanks to this system, replacing loose slates can be done by any Dexter MI roofing company such as https://www.roofonemichigan.com/dexter-mi-roofing-experts.html. The slates just swing to one side in order to allow easy access to the beams and nails. Also, if your slate roof is really old, the nails themselves could be in need of fixing. This is another relatively easy task for any professional roofing company.

Professional, Knowledgeable, and stress free is how I would describe my experience with Roof One. From first call, a representative actually answers the phone with a friendly welcome. Jason was prompt and quick to come out and give a detailed consultation. Antonio’s crew was amazing! Not only were they on time, but a few minutes early. They made sure to walk me through the process and didn’t leave until the job was complete. Scott helped work with my insurance adjuster and went out of his way to make sure I was completely satisfied. Bill and Sandra in the office treated me like family and Steve, the owner, was very kind and welcomed me to the Roof One family. Phenomenal Job Roof One, my family and I couldn’t be happier - Thank you!

From the beginning to the end, Roof one really impressed me regarding their professionalism when roofing my house. In particular Steve and Mark managed this job wonderfully. The crew they sent over did such a wonderful quality job and made sure my property was free of nails and debris. I would definitely hire this company for a roof job. Very straight forward with their prices and options. I was also grateful they hooked up vent fans and provided a gorgeous flashing for my large chimney. Good job guys! Wish there were more contractors like you!
