The highest-quality slate, S1, provides the longest life expectancy with regard to resistance to water absorption, weathering and breakage. Standing behind our commitment to excellence, Innovative offers a free upgrade to S1 grade slate from S2 or S3 slate.
DETERMINING YOUR ROOF’S CONDITION: TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE
Like all roofs, residential slate roofs and tile roofs should be inspected annually by an experienced roofer. However, because most people are not comfortable inspecting their own roof and because roof damage is not easily seen from the ground, homeowners often wait far too long before having their roof inspected.
It is important that damaged and missing slates and tiles be repaired promptly by an experienced roofing professional. A prompt repair will help prevent water damage to interior finishes and accelerated deterioration of the roof and roof sheathing.
Unfortunately, in many circumstances an inspection does not occur until watermarks or some other type of internal damage is observed. This can result in more serious and costly long-term problems such as wood rot, mold and damage to living spaces. Additionally, an overdue inspection may cause some insurance companies to view this as neglect of routine maintenance, instead of an “Act of God”. The end result is the homeowner becomes responsible for repairs.
