Repaired, in most cases, by a slate specialist. Colonial-era slate on Elizabethport's oldest streets can serve for a century or more; individual slates crack, slip, or lose their fasteners, and flashing wears out decades before the slate field does. A general roofer's replacement quote on a sound slate roof is usually a verdict about the roofer's trade, not your roof. Ask for a slate roofer's inspection that grades the slate itself, the flashing, and the fastener pattern separately, in writing. Replacement enters the conversation only when the slate stone itself is delaminating across slopes.
