Slate roofs last 75-150 years when properly maintained — but they require specialty knowledge for repair. Many of Chagrin Falls's historic homes still have original slate. Atlas Roofing handles slate roof repairs, replacements of broken tiles, and flashing renewal on historic slate roofs.
Material selection in Chagrin Falls is informed by the local architecture — primarily Victorian, Greek Revival, Colonial Revival. The right shingle profile and color makes a real difference on these homes.
