Slate Tile Roofing
Slate tile roofing gives a home the natural color and texture of stone, and QRS plans slate roofs across Los Angeles and Orange County from the structure up. Because slate is heavy, we review the framing and roof details first and put the full scope in writing before work begins. It starts with a roof evaluation.
Overview
Slate has a distinctive look and a long service life when the roof is designed and installed for the material. Its weight and the way it is fastened make planning especially important. We begin with a roof evaluation, discuss the home’s structure and existing roof, and explain the work involved before recommending a direction.
A complete slate roof scope considers the deck, underlayment, flashing, drainage and the slate profile. If slate is not the right fit for the structure or budget, we can also talk through concrete tile roofing and other tile roof replacement options.
Our Process
Planning a slate tile roof
Review the existing roof
We document roof conditions, geometry and visible details, then talk through the look and goals for the project.
Assess the structure
Slate is a substantial roofing material. The roof framing and applicable project requirements need review before a final system is selected.
Prepare a written scope
The proposal explains the planned roof assembly, slate selection, underlayment, flashing and cleanup.
Install and review
Work follows the approved scope, with attention to the slate layout and transitions. We share project photos and review the completed work with you.
