How We Install Slate Roofs in Parker

1. Check the framing — the roof needs to handle the slate weight and the snow load
2. Prepare the deck — the underlayment and the ice-and-water shield at the eaves
3. Install the flashing — the copper or the steel flashing at the valleys and the penetrations
4. Install the slate — the natural or the synthetic slate in the manufacturer’s pattern
5. Install the ridge and the hip pieces — the matching slate pieces finish the roof
6. Install the snow guards — the snow guards control the sliding snow

Preventing Roof Problems in Parker

• Check for the cracked and the slipped slate — the hail and the snow cause the damage
• Check the flashings and the penetrations — the slate protects but the flashing seals
• Check the hooks and the nails — the fasteners corrode over time
• Keep the valleys clear — the Front Range debris backs the water up

Expert tip: in Parker, the slate roof is only as good as the flashing and the framing. The slate sheds the water, but the copper flashing at the valleys and the penetrations does the sealing. The framing needs to handle the slate weight and the snow load.
