Slate Roof Replacement in Kearny, NJ
A slate roof is a century roof: installed correctly, natural slate outlives the building's owners and often the building's other systems twice over. Our slate roof replacements in Kearny serve the historic and high-end homes where only real slate will do — with traditional installation methods, salvaged-and-matched stone, and copper flashing built to match the slate's lifespan.
What This Service Includes
We strip the failed slate (salvaging every reusable piece), replace underlayment and flashings — typically upgrading to copper — repair or replace damaged decking, and install new natural slate with proper headlap, stainless or copper fasteners, and traditional detailing at hips, ridges, and valleys.

- Slipping, sliding, or missing slates
- Delaminating or flaking stone (common in lower-grade historic slate)
- Failed flashings with otherwise sound slate
- A slate roof past 75-100 years on soft stone
- Leaks at valleys and penetrations
How We Do It Right
We work with hard-vein Pennsylvania and Vermont slate for new installations, and we match existing stone on partial work from salvage stocks. Every slate replacement includes copper valleys and flashings — because it makes no sense to put 100-year flashings on a 100-year roof. Slate is a specialty craft; our slate crews do slate, not 'also slate.'

Frequently Asked Questions
Can my home's structure support slate?
Slate weighs 800 to 1,500 pounds per square. Most homes built for slate handle it fine; homes being converted to slate need structural verification. We arrange engineering review when there is any doubt.
Is real slate worth it versus synthetic?
Synthetic slate captures much of the look at lower cost and weight with 50-year warranties. Real slate lasts a century or more and carries unmatched authenticity for historic homes. We install both and advise based on your home and budget.
