01
Prepare a condition record
Consider a pre-listing slate inspection with labeled photographs and prioritized recommendations. Complete active-leak and safety repairs using documented slate methods.
02
Organize the roof history
Provide invoices, material information, warranties, attic stock and contacts for qualified service. Explain repaired flashings and roof sections without promising an exact remaining life.
03
Market the material accurately
Use ‘natural slate’ only when the roof is genuine stone. Highlight architectural character, repairability and stewardship rather than unsupported lifetime guarantees.
