Slate Roof Repair in Pittsburgh homes
Pittsburgh's older homes often have slate roofs that can last a century or more when cared for. But slate tiles break, slip, and crack, and the nails that hold them rust out over decades. Flashing fails. Walking on slate requires care, because a wrong step breaks tiles. We repair slate carefully, replacing broken tiles and fixing flashing, and we tell you honestly when the slate is at the end of its life.
Why choose us
Water-first dispatch
We stop the water before we talk about anything else. A tarp or a leak stop protects your home and your belongings while we plan the permanent repair. The first call is about keeping you dry, not about selling you a new roof.
Insurance-ready photo documentation
We photograph the damage, the cause, and what we did, and we hand you a clear summary. Your adjuster gets what they need to make a decision. Coverage is always your carrier's decision, but our photos support your claim.
Honest repair-vs-replace calls
If a repair will hold, we say so. If the roof is at the end of its life or the damage is too widespread, we say replacement makes sense. We give you the real answer and a price for both. The decision is always yours.
