New Book

If you are in the neighborhood, you can always come by and pick up a copy from our offices in Roland Park and save on shipping.

There are few reliable sources on slate roofing practices. Hopefully, this will be considered one of them. This book was written with the focus maintaining old slate roofs, especially with new homeowner's, or homeowner's unfamiliar with slate roofs. Contractors and real estate agents may also find this information useful. Contractor's involved with renovations that include renovating old houses can use this book to help monitor the quality of their subcontractors working on slate roofs. Real estate agents can use this information to help advise their clients.

I have been working on and inspecting slate roofs since 1989. I have attended numerous seminars on historic and slate roofing, and I conducted slate roofing seminars for local neighborhood associations and historic commissions.

I am indebted to Joe Jenkins, author of the "Slate Roof Bible" for his input on this book. Check back soon for a link to purchase your copy.
