Slate Roofing in Coeur D Alene, Idaho

Slate Roofing in Coeur D Alene means roofing built for the Idaho climate - the heat, the humidity, and the storms. The Idaho humidity and the severe storm remnants test every roof, and the sagebrush and pine debris covers the surface.

Signs Your Coeur D Alene Roof Needs Slate Roofing

• 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 Coeur D Alene Roofs Need Slate Roofing

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

The look is the second reason. The slate gives the home the distinctive, high-end appearance.

How We Do Slate Roofing in Coeur D Alene

1. Inspect the roof structure - the slate is heavy and the framing must support the weight
2. Install the underlayment - the waterproofing 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 in Coeur D Alene

• Inspect the roof after every storm - 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 Coeur D Alene is the investment that lasts a lifetime. The natural slate handles the heat and the storms. The right installation and the occasional inspection keep the roof for 100 years.
