Slate & Tile Roofing in
Broadview Heights, OH

Slate and clay tile are found on the older housing around Broadview Heights, and both need a different hand than asphalt. Walking a slate roof wrong breaks more than it fixes. We work off staging and hooks rather than treating it like a shingle roof.

Working on Slate in Broadview Heights

On slate, most of what fails first is the fastener and the flashing, not the stone. Nail fatigue drops individual slates, and old valley metal opens up long before the field does. Broadview Heights sits in southern Cuyahoga County, a suburb of Cleveland, so we start every inspection on the elevations that take the most exposure.

Slate and Tile Services in Broadview Heights

We do individual slate replacement, valley and flashing rebuilds, full tear-off and reinstall, and synthetic slate where matching original stone is not realistic. We also handle clay and concrete tile repair. Ohio 82 crosses the city and meets an Interstate 77 interchange at its eastern side, which is how our crews reach most of the city.

Working on Broadview Heights Homes

Seth Paine, a surveyor sent by Colonel John Breck, settled the area in 1811, when land now split among Brecksville, Broadview Heights and North Royalton was all known as Brecksville Township. Broadview Heights incorporated as a village on December 17, 1926 after a petition and an election among residents of the western portion of the township, and became a city in 1960. Floyd C. Harris took office as the first mayor of Broadview Heights in 1927. The current City Hall campus was purchased by the city in 1996. We work on that stock the same way every time: get on the roof, open up what needs opening, and show you photographs of what is actually there before anyone talks about price.

Houses that went up in the same stretch of years tend to fail in the same places, and after enough jobs on one street you learn where to look first. That is worth more to a homeowner than a bigger crew or a faster quote. On stock that age slate usually fails at the fastener long before the stone gives out.

Slate is the most expensive roof we install, and we will tell you when synthetic makes more sense. Face-nailed repairs are the single most common thing we end up undoing on older roofs. We stage off hooks and planks rather than walking the field and breaking what we came to fix.

Carriers routinely price slate as though it were asphalt, and that is where the supplement comes in. Our crews work slate specifically; it is not a shingle crew learning on your roof. Selective repair keeps the original material on the building, which is usually the better outcome.
