“When we bought this house, we knew that the slate roof was a really great, desirable feature,” Denys said. “But we didn’t really understand that there’s a certain amount of work involved, that has to be done if you want your slate roof to stay great.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Slate Roofs Need Regular Care<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Slate roofs are desirable because they’re very durable. Stone is fireproof and for the most part, weather resistant. A well-maintained slate roof can last hundreds of years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s the well-maintained part that’s critical. For the most part, maintaining your slate roof means keeping an eye on it. This involves having your Burlington roofing contractor<\/a> get up there and perform a visual inspection, generally twice a year. Doing this regularly means any developing problems should be identified quickly, when repairs are a simpler matter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
