Slate Roof Valley Repair
The most common type of valley construction used with a slate roof system is an open valley lined with sheet metal. Open valleys permit clear, unobstructed drainage and are advantageous in locations where debris from surrounding foliage settles on a roof's surface and accumulates in valleys and around penetrations.
In climates like Massachusetts which are prone to accumulations of snow and ice or with regular freeze-thaw cycling, open-valley construction should be enhanced. The valley area can be lined with a self-adhering polymer-modified bitumen underlayment material before installation of the valley metal.

There are many great reasons to choose slate roofing in Massachusetts. Slate is very a energy-efficient material. Because it is very dense, it can help keep your home cooler in the summer and in the winter, the heavy, dense slate material helps prevent warm air from escaping. In both cases, slate helps you save on your heating and cooling bills.
As a natural stone product, slate is completely fire resistant, unlike asphalt shingles and other such products. A slate roof will resist high heat and fire. Slate is a naturally-occurring material and requires very little processing, unlike other products like asphalt shingle roofing and metal roofing. This makes it more environmentally-friendly.
