Residential Consultation
Residential Consultation
Slate roofs are expensive. They are also the best.
Whether buying a house with a slate roof or maintaining one, the slate roof is an investment that we would like to make with confidence.
Home Inspectors are invaluable. Their extensive knowledge of mechanical systems and home-buying issues puts buyers in the driving seat, with few exceptions. I’ve met none, however, who are payed sufficiently to climb every roof and make a detailed assessment.
As consultant, The Delta Slate Company teams with your Home Inspector and gets behind you, the buyer, with an objective assessment of the slate roof in question.
It takes years of experience and a thorough academic knowledge of slate to contribute usefully to the home-buying transaction. A knowledge of underlayment, roof decking, fasteners, sealants and the slate are required (it helps if you kept track of a slate roof you installed 35 years ago, and repaired slate roofs that were two hundred years-old).The Delta Slate Company steps up to the challenge. All roofs are climbed and photographed. A thorough assessment is made, and a report produced that leaves no doubt in the buyer’s mind.
Customers have been relieved to walk away from a pending $80,000 roof replacement, or have been delighted to buy the house of their dreams, in the confidence that their slate roof will outlive everyone at the settlement table!
