Working with slate roofing

Current category

Wood shingles are great if you want to give your house a stylish and traditional look. They are not as durable as other types of shingles but if the installation is done properly, then they can last for decades. Here are a couple of things to avoid when installing wood shingles.

Staples

Staples will only cause damage to your shingles and to your roof. It makes it possible for rain and wind to get under the shingles. This will lead to high maintenance and repair costs.

Paint and roof cleaners

Wood shingles are finicky and will react with almost everything. They can be ruined by mistakes. If you paint them or use some powerful cleaners, you may warp and damage the roof. Before attempting to paint or clean the slate shingles, speak to a professional.
