- - Preparation - Ensure the roof deck is clean, dry, and structurally sound before installation.

- - Laying Slate - Start from the bottom edge and work upward, overlapping each slate to ensure proper water runoff.

Slate roof installation typically involves preparing the roof structure, selecting appropriate slate materials, and carefully fitting each slate piece to ensure a durable and weather-resistant surface. The process includes removing existing roofing if necessary, inspecting and reinforcing the underlying support, and then meticulously laying the slate tiles in a specific pattern while securing them with appropriate fasteners. Key details that help evaluate requests include the size and slope of the roof, the type and quality of slate being used, the complexity of the roof design, and the experience level of the installer, all of which influence the project's scope, duration, and cost.
