Slate roofs in Columbus

Whether you live in a brick cottage in German Village or a big Victorian on Bryden Road, there is a good chance your home has, or once had, a slate roof. Many have been patched over the decades with tar or mismatched slate. The right fix depends on the condition of the slate, the flashing and the wood underneath, not the zip code.

My home is in a historic district. Does that matter?

It can. In German Village, Victorian Village, Italian Village and other historic areas, changes to a roof’s look or materials may need approval first. Repairing slate with matching slate usually keeps things simple. See repair or replace a slate roof.

My house is tall and the roof is steep. Is that a problem?

Not usually. Slate roofers work on steep roofs all the time with ladders and roof hooks. It can affect the time and cost, so mention how many stories the house is in your notes.
