Roof Repair & Slate Work in New Hope, PA
Two very different calls come from New Hope: a leak that needs finding today, and an old slate roof that somebody said needs replacing. We handle both, and we do not treat them the same way.
Why people call us in New Hope
- A leak near a chimney, valley or skylight
- Slates sliding out or cracked
- Copper valleys and flashing that have worn thin
- A second opinion on a replacement quote for a slate roof
The roofs around here
New Hope has a lot of older stone and slate houses. On those roofs the slate itself is often still sound while the metalwork around it has given out, which is why a full tear-off is so often the wrong first answer.
Repair or replace?
On slate, restoration is usually possible when most slates still ring solid and the failures are in valleys and flashing. When slates are flaking and crumbling, the stone is genuinely finished and we talk about options.
What changes the price
We do not publish price ranges, because a made-up range helps nobody. These are what an estimate is actually built from.
- Whether the roof is slate, shingle or a mix
- How many slates need replacing and whether they can be matched
- How much copper valley and flashing work is needed
- Whether the wood deck underneath needs replacing
- The material you choose
- Chimneys, skylights, dormers and valleys, which all add labor
- Permit and disposal

Questions from New Hope homeowners
Everyone told me I need a whole new slate roof. Is that true?
Often not. Crews that do not work with slate default to replacement because that is what they know how to do.
Can you match my slate?
Usually, with salvaged slate or a close quarry match. We show you the match before it goes on the roof.
