Slate & Tile Roofing in
Streetsboro, OH

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

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. Streetsboro sits in western Portage County, so we start every inspection on the elevations that take the most exposure.

Slate and Tile Services in Streetsboro

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 Portage County.

Working on Streetsboro Homes

The founder of Streetsboro Township was Titus Street of Connecticut, who bought the land in 1798. The township covered 25 square miles and contained 15,279 acres, surveyed by Street's agents Ralph Cowles and Lemuel Punderson in the summer of 1822 and divided into 100-acre lots. Seneca Indians used the Old Portage Trail, which crosses the southwest corner of the city, to travel between Lake Erie and the Ohio River basin. A turnpike from Cleveland to Wellsville was laid through the township in 1825, with Street giving enough land to carry it across. 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.
