Sbardella Slate | Roofing Services in Fair Haven, VT 05743

Slate roof repair typically involves carefully removing and replacing individual damaged or missing slates to address localized issues like cracks or leaks, preserving the integrity of the existing roof. A full replacement is recommended when the majority of the slate is failing, the roof deck is compromised, or a homeowner wants to upgrade their system. With over 30 years in Fair Haven, we assess each situation to recommend the most practical and long-term solution, whether it's a targeted repair or a complete new installation designed to last generations.

In Fair Haven's climate, flashing—the metal that seals roof transitions—is prone to rust and corrosion, which can lead to leaks. We address this by removing the corroded material and custom-fabricating new flashing on-site from durable metals like copper. Our process ensures a precise fit for valleys, chimneys, and dormers, and we integrate it seamlessly with the existing slate to create a watertight seal. This local expertise in custom sheet metal work is a key part of our repair and restoration services, preventing future moisture damage.

Yes, we specialize in reroofing, which involves installing a new slate roof system over an existing roof structure, often after removing the old roofing material. Our process begins with a thorough inspection of the roof deck to ensure it can support the weight of slate. We then install high-quality underlayment and meticulously lay the new slate, incorporating custom-fabricated snow guards and metalwork as needed. This comprehensive approach, backed by full insurance, provides a durable, long-lasting roof specifically suited to withstand Vermont's weather for over 100 years.
