Slate Roofing in Lake Havasu City, Arizona

Slate is the premium roofing choice in the Lake Havasu City market. The natural slate is the most durable roofing material available, and the synthetic slate offers the same look for less. Slate roofing in Lake Havasu City means the roof that outlasts the home.

Signs Your Lake Havasu City Slate Roof Needs Service

• Cracked or broken slates — the foot traffic or the debris has damaged the pieces
• Missing slates — the wind has pulled the individual pieces loose
• Leaks at the flashings — the slate itself is not the problem, the flashing is
• Granules or debris in the gutters — the synthetic slate is wearing
• Sagging areas — the structure may need reinforcement

Why Lake Havasu City Homeowners Choose Slate

The lifespan is the main reason. The natural slate roof lasts 75–100 years. The home will not need another roof. The slate is the one-time investment.

The look is the second reason. The slate gives the home the distinctive, high-end appearance. The texture and the color of the natural stone are unique.

How We Install Slate Roofs in Lake Havasu City

1. Inspect the roof structure — the slate is heavy and the framing must support the weight
2. Install the underlayment — the ice-and-water shield over the entire deck
3. Install the battens — the horizontal strips that support the slate
4. Lay the slate — the staggered pattern with the copper nails
5. Flash the penetrations — the copper flashing for the chimney and the vents

Preventing Problems on Slate Roofs in Lake Havasu City

• Inspect the roof after every wind event — the wind can loosen the slates
• Check the flashings each spring — the copper lasts but the seals dry out
• Walk on the roof only when necessary — the slate is brittle under the foot traffic
• Keep the gutters clean — the debris holds the moisture against the slate

The slate roof in Lake Havasu City is the investment that lasts a lifetime. The natural slate handles the desert heat and the wind. The right installation and the occasional inspection keep the roof for 100 years.
