Slate & Tile Roofing in
Campbell, OH

Slate and clay tile are found on the older housing around Campbell, 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 Campbell

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. Campbell sits along the Mahoning River, directly southeast of Youngstown, so we start every inspection on the elevations that take the most exposure.

Slate and Tile Services in Campbell

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. We cover the whole city and the rest of Mahoning County.

Working on Campbell Homes

The Youngstown Iron Sheet and Tube Company established a factory near the Mahoning River in 1902, in what was then Coitsville Township, and a settlement called East Youngstown grew around it. The village was incorporated in 1908 as its population swelled with young immigrants working in the steel industry, many of them Greek. The city was renamed in 1926 for local industrialist James Campbell, then chairman of the Youngstown Sheet and Tube Company. The plant, later known as the Campbell Works, held four blast furnaces, twelve open hearth furnaces, two Bessemer converters and a 79-inch hot strip mill. 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.

We cover all of it, and the rest of Mahoning County with it.

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.
