Slate Roof Installation Examples in New Jersey
The first year John Asch, Jr. started roofing, I was contacted by an insurance company to do major roof repairs on a church roof in Hoboken, New Jersey. As you can see by the photos, we had to erect pipe scaffolding which had to be lag bolted temporarily into the stone structure. Once we were able to reach the roof tops, we spent approximately three months installing new copper ridge roll, repairing slates, sealing flashings, etc. This was our first slate roof repair and since that job, we have done hundreds of slate repairs.
The old original slate roof on this house on Mercer Street in North Plainfield was removed. We installed 3/4 inch cdx sheathing to tighten up the old tired rafters. New 11 x 21 inch blue/gray Vermont slates where installed using copper roof nails. New galvanized ridge roll. Roof vents where installed to remove unwanted heat and moisture out of the attic. This new slate roof should last about 80 years.
We removed the slate roof off of this 117 year old house on Lincoln Street in Highland Park, NJ. It was built with four areas of “curved” rafters at the bottom of the roof near the built in gutters. You can see one example of this in the first photo. They were totally rotted thru and we had to rebuild them. We then discovered a lot more rotted rafters and walls on the front lower porch. We sistered in new rafters, changed the angle of original rafters, new fascia, rakes, soffit and deck sheathing. We made everything strong. We then installated a new Owens Corning 50-year dimensional roof. The photos below of the before and after will explain better.
