Slate Roof Restoration & Preservation

From Hal Schneikert of Wilmington, DE:

"I want to take this opportunity to thank you for the excellent work you did on my home last fall. Living in an 80+ year old house has it's challenges. When that is combined with living in one of the first planned communities in the United States, which is on the Historic Register and has very strict deed restrictions, it is always a challenge to find economical ways to preserve our slate roofs. Slate Savers provided an excellent solution. Our Architectural Committee, led by a registered Professional Engineer, was pleased to approve your system for use throughout the Park with the hope that it would provide an economical alternative to the replacement of our aging slate roof inventory.

After a hard winter with considerable snow and ice my roof looks great and I have experienced no problems. The professionalism and care with which all the work was accomplished (whether the slate grouting, flashing, chimney caps, or dormer roof restoration) was certainly gratifying to see in this day and age.

Thanks again for a job well done."

From Derek Hill & Alison Shelton of Takoma Park, MD:

"We had a slate roof on our 90 year old house preserved and restored with the Slate Savers process several years ago.

We were able to obtain a Historical Preservation Tax Credit, and have been pleased with the results."


From Robert M Turrin of Haddenfield, NJ

Stan  -  I sent this message to the Chair of Haddonfield’s Historic Preservation Commission, David Gottardi. 

David  -  My name is Robert Turrin and I live at 117 W Euclid Ave in Haddonfield.    Since you serve as Chair of the Historical Commission, I thought you should know about the new process that my wife and I recently used to restore and preserve our 1880 vintage slate roof.    The new process was developed by a company called Slate Savers involves injecting a patented arcrylic grout under the edges of the slates.  The slates are locked into place and are rendered water tight .   The treatment is much less costly than a replacement asphalt roof and the outcome is really terriffic.   The web site is  http://www.slatesavers.com/.     The owner is fellow named Stan Ward who would be willing to speak to the Commission if you have any interest.   This company has also used this process on older church building as well as residences.   Just for the record, I have no financial interest in the Slate Savers Company and I'm passing this along to you solely because the process facilitates historic preservation.
