Slate Roofing in Williamsburg, VA
RoofTrue works on slate roofs for homeowners in Williamsburg and the surrounding area. Slate itself can last a very long time, so most slate work is repair: replacing cracked or slipped slates and redoing worn flashing. We handle slate carefully, since walking on it the wrong way causes more damage than it fixes.

Our approach
How we approach slate roofing
On many slate roofs, the stone outlasts the nails and flashing holding it. When those fail, slates slip and water finds its way in. Fixing the fasteners and flashing is often what the roof needs.
We look for matching slate when replacing pieces and will tell you if an exact match is not available.

Straight answers
Slate Roofing questions
Can a slate roof be repaired instead of replaced?
In many cases, yes. Slate often outlasts its nails and flashing, so targeted repairs can extend its life.
Why are slates sliding off my roof?
Usually the nails holding them have corroded. Slipped slates can be re-secured or replaced.
Can you match my slate?
We look for the closest available match in color and size and tell you if an exact match is not possible.
