Slate Roof

Premium Slate Roofing for Homes in Westchester County and Rockland County

For the past 15 years, Meridian Contracting has been the crew neighbors call when they want a roof that will outlast them. We’ve worked on homes of all sizes and styles, from cozy places in Nyack to stately properties in Scarsdale, and everywhere in between, with steep, tricky pitches. Some days we’re laying every piece of slate on a brand-new build, while other days we’re up on a historic home, replacing broken tiles so that the repair disappears into the original roofline.

Our Proven Process

Meridian Contracting follows a rigorous day by day slate roofing workflow, from inspection to final walkthrough, ensuring clarity and craftsmanship

Step 1

We start with a thorough check of the roof deck, framing, slope, and any unique or historic details to see how much weight it can handle.

Step 2

We draw up a simple plan that explains the materials. We’ll use the type of work involved, how long the project should take, and what’s included once the roof is complete.

Step 3

Before the new roof goes down, we clear the area, strip the old roof, and fix up any soft or weak spots in the deck.

Step 4

 Installation of robust underlayment followed by precise slate tile layout and secure nailing.

Step 5

 Flashing installation using copper or stainless steel, hip and ridge sealing, and snow‑guard reinforcement.

Step 6

 Detailed final inspection, clean-up, and client walkthrough to confirm satisfaction.

Answers to Common Questions About Slate Roofing
Around here, slate is the old workhorse of roofing. We have worked on homes in Tuckahoe and White Plains with roofs pushing a hundred years and still tight as a drum. The truth is, if it’s put on right and looked after now and then, you’re looking at seventy, maybe a hundred-plus years before you need to think about a major overhaul. That’s why folks call it a “forever roof.”
Slate’s heavy. Not “move it yourself” heavy. We’re talking thousands of pounds across your whole roof. First thing we do is poke around your attic, check the rafters, and make sure your framing can carry that kind of weight. Some houses are good to go from the start; others need a little beefing up before we lay the first piece. Once it’s set right, it can take snow, wind, and just about anything else New York’s weather throws at it.
It can occur for all sorts of reasons: a heavy branch might fall during a storm, or winter’s freeze and thaw can open up small cracks over time. The fix is careful work. We pull the broken piece, slide in a new one that matches the old in color and thickness, and tuck the flashing so tight you can’t tell where the repair was done unless you were there watching. That’s the kind of detail work slate demands.
On a regular two-story home, you’re usually talking anywhere from sixteen grand on the low side to seventy on the high side. The stone is not cheap, and it takes skilled hands to do it right. But when you figure that asphalt shingles might get you 15 or 20 years before you’re back at it again, slate starts looking like a bargain for the long haul.
