The slate tiles on the smaller and lower sloped section of the mansard roof were in poor condition, so given we were replacing the valley it made sense to install new natural slate tiles on this section. We installed high quality Quebec slate in the unfading black and light green colour to match the existing slate. For a section of that slope, the slate tiles were cut in a decorative diamond shape to match the existing scalloped edge slate design. In the video, you can see our slate mason cutting the green slate tiles with a slate cutter. As always we installed ice and water shield underlayment underneath the slate tiles and installed them using 2 inch copper nails. The valley installed was black to match neighbours roofs and is of heavy guage pre-painted steel. To finish we installed a new black ridge cap along the peak of the roof.
Along with the slate repair, M&R Roofing also installed our two ply modified flat roofing system.
