Slate Roof Ross

Slate Reroofing of  Historic Marin County Home: Installation of authentic slate roof tiles on a historic 5,732 square foot home in Ross, California.

“In October 2016 I had Wedge replace my large roof that was in need, with a new lightweight genuine slate roof. Wedge was chosen after interviewing several roofers, and it turned out to be a great choice! This was a big project that took several months. They did an excellent job in every way. The crew was so polite, hardworking, and cleaned up completely every day. Their attention to detail was great. Every single slate is fitted in perfectly, and all the trim looks great as well.”        Richard T., Slate Roof Ross, CA

Project: Established in 1857, this is the historic homesite of James Ross, founder of the town of Ross in Marin County, CA. 

Problem: The failure of the existing Hardie Shake roof necessitated the complete removal and installation of a new roofing system to protect this historic home. 

Solution: Wedge Roofing removed the failed roofing system and installed a custom blend of handcrafted American Slate Roof Tiles in a specific selection of colors, textures, and sizes to complement the grandeur of this historic home. 

Challenges:  The proper installation of a natural slate roof demands unparalleled roofing proficiency. Installing this high-pitched roof entails meticulous handling of thousands of slate tiles, with each tile undergoing individual inspection, sorting, cutting, placement, and secure fastening using solid copper nails.

Result: The proud homeowner expressed immense satisfaction with Wedge Roofing’s installation process and the exceptional outcome of this distinctive natural slate roof. Backed by a 75-year warranty, the American Slate roof stands out for its durability, easy maintenance, and enduring beauty.
