Ask the Slate Boss.
Have a slate roof question? Share the roof type, location, approximate age, what you are seeing and clear photos. The better the context, the more useful the direction can be.
What to include
1. Location: climate and local slate history matter.
2. Roof age and slate: share anything you know about origin, color or prior work.
3. The exact problem: leaks, broken slates, slipping pieces, flashing, weight, sourcing or an estimate.
4. Clear photos: one wider roof view and close-ups taken safely from the ground or by a professional.
