behalf of Hubert Nelson who is the owner of that property commonly known as 534 Summit Avenue
which is located in the City's Heritage Hill Preservation District, for a building permit to tear off existing
roofing and install new artificial slate shingles; and

conducted a public hearing on the said building permit application where all interested parties were given

WHEREAS, the HPC, at the close of the hearing, based upon all the testimony and records, including a
HPC staff report dated October 14, 2009 which recommended denying the said permit application, moved
to deny the application based upon the Findings of Fact set forth in the HPC staff report and provided to
the applicant on October 23, 2009 in a Letter of Denial from the HPC as follows:

The house is considered pivotal to the Hill District.
There are not any photos of the residence with a slate roof, nor was staff able to locate a permit far
the installation of a slate roof. There are wood shingles remaining on the roof and staff did locate a
permit from 1913 for a reroof at the property with shingles. The guideline states, "repair or
replacement of missing architectural features should be based on accurate duplications of features,
substantiated by historic, physical, or pictorial evidence rather than on conjectural designs or the
availability of different architectural elements from other buildings or structures." [Leg. Code
§74.6a(6)]. The installation of synthetic slate would not comply with the guideline.
The proposed material, synthetic slate in an evergreen blend, would differ to such an extent from
the old (asphalt shingle or wood shingle) "in composition, size, shape, color or texture that the
appearance of the building would be altered." [Leg. Code § 74.64(d)(1)]. The guideline states
materials that would alter the appearance should not be used.
There is evidence that the residence had a wood shingle roof. Wood shingles in the nineteenth
century were often dipped in creosote to preserve them, giving them a very dark brown color.
Victorians often stained wood shingles deep red or dark green to complement rather than match
the color of the house. [Leg. Code § 74.64(d)(2)]. The installation of wood shingles, synthetic
wood shingles of an appropriate size and color or asphalt shingles of an appropriate color and style
could be reviewed and approved by HPC staff. The installation of a synthetic shingle that would
mimic slate in an evergreen blend would not be historically accurate as far as materials are
concerned, but would also be inappropriate in color, as the roof color should "complement rather
than match the color of the house." [Leg. Code § 74.64(d)(2)].
The proposal will adversely impact the program for preservarion for the Hill Historic District.

WHEREAS, on or about November 4, 2009, the property owner, Hubert Nelson, pursuant to Leg. Code §
73.06(h) duly filed an appeal from the decision of the HPC and requested a public hearing before the City
Council for the purpose of considering the action taken by the HPC; and
WHEREAS, on December 2, 2009, a public hearing was duly conducted before the City Council where all
interested parties were given an opportunity to be heard and, at the close of the public hearing, the City
Council, having heard the statements made and having considered the application, the testimony, the report
of staff and the record, minutes and resolution of the HPC; does hereby
RESOLVE, that the HPC's decision to deny the said building permit is hereby overturned. The Council
finds that the appellant has demonstrated error with respect to HPC finding No. 4. Although the Council
finds no error with respect to the HPC's findings 1 through 3, and the Council recognizes that artificial
slate shingles would not necessarily meet all of the requirements expressed in the District guidelines
regarding the composition, size, shape and texture of replacement roofing material, the Council also finds
that the proposed shingles do not harm the original roof type, slope or overhang of this home. Because the
proposed shingles do not significantly alter the overall distinguishing character or stylistic features of this
property, the proposed style of shingles constitute a minimal alteration that is not othenvise inconsistent
with the various different forms of roofing material that the record shows to have been used on this
property over the course of time; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the appeal of Hubert Nelson be and is hereby 9ranted; and be it
FINALLY RESOLVED, that the Council secretary shall mail a copy of this resolution to the Appellant
Hubert Nelson, the Heritage Preservation Commission, and the Zoning Administrator.

Re: 534 Summit Avenue. Hill Historic District
HPC File #10-001
To the Heritage Preservation Commission :
I am appealing the decision that was given on
October 22th 2009. It was an application for a
building permit to install a synthetic slate roof at the
property 534 Summit Ave. # File 10-001.
Grounds for the appeal
1. The architure has changad from a Victorian
style to a Tudor Revival approx 1920-1930
2. Historic precedent had been set with a
synthetic slate asbestos roof.
3. There are 22 Tudor Revival Houses on Summit
Avenue with Slate Roofs
4. The HPC decision allows an asphalt roof
which is inferior in function and in design.
Does this decision made by the HPC, enhance
the Historic District?

HERITAGE PRESERVATION COMMISSION
FILE NAlVIE: 534 Summit Avenue
DATE OF APPLICATION: September 10, 2009
APPLICANT: Jason Moreau, Cleaz Choice Construction LLC
OWNER: Hubert Nelson
DATE OF HEAIZING: October 22, 2009
HPC SITE/DISTRICT: Hill Historic District
CATEGORY: Pivotal
CLASSIFICATION: Building Permit
STAFF REPORT: Christine Boulwaze
Agenda Item V.A.
HPC File #10-001
D�1'l�
DATE: October 14, 2009
A. SITE DESCRIPTION:
534 Summit Avenue is a single family residence constructed in 1882 and designed by A.M.
Radciiffe. According to the National Register survey the house was originally designed in the
Victorian style but was remodeled into a vernaculaz Tudor Revival in the 1920s. The house was
remodeled in 1947 and in 1997. The struchzre is categorized as pivotal to the Hill Historic
District. The garage is located off the alley but is accessed by a driveway from Summit Avenue
and from the alley. The garage is not noted in the National Register survey but is noted in the
local HPC survey but not categorized or described. Directly across the alley is a 4 car garage
constructed in 1988. The property encompasses a total of five city lots.
B. PROPOSED CHANGES:
The applicant is proposing to tear off the existing roof and install DaVinci, synthetic slate
shingles in the Evergreen blend (three shades of green to match the house). According to the
applicant, three layers of shingles are being removed that include asphalt and wood.
C. GUIDELINE CITATIONS:
Hill District Guidelines
Restoration and Rehabil#ation
General Principles:
1. Every reasonable effort shaZl be made to provide a compatible use for a property which requires minimal
alteration of the building, structure, or site and its environment, or to use a property for its originally
intended purpose.
2. The distinguishing original gualities or character of a building, structure, or site and its environment
shall not be destroyed. The removal or alteration of any historic material or distinctive architectural
features should be avoided when possible.
3. All buildings, structures, and sites shall be recognized as praducts oftheir own time Alterations that have
no historical basis and which seek to create an earlier appearance shall be discouraged
A. Changes which may have taken place in the caurse oftime are evidence ofthe history and develapment af
a buiZding, structure, or site and its environment. Theses changes may have acquired sign�cance in their
own right, and this signifzcance shall be recognized and respected.
5. Distinctive stylistic features or examples ofskilled craftsmanship which characterize a building, structure,
or site sha11 be treated wizh sensitivity.
6. Deteriorated architectural features shall be repaired rather than repZaced, whenever possible. In the event
replacement is necessary, the new material should match the material being replaced in composition,
design, color, texture, andothervisuaZqualities. Repairorreplacementofmissingarchitectetralfeatures

. shouZd be based on accurate duplications offeatures, substantiated by historic, physical, or pictorial
evidence rather ihan on conjectural designs or the availabiliiy of dif}�erent architectural elements from
other buildings or structures.
7. The svrface cleaning ofstructures shall be undertaken with the gentlest means possible Sandblasfing and
other cleaning methods that will damage the historic building materials shall not be undertaken.
8. Every reasonable effort shall be made to protect and preserve archaeological resources affected by, or
adjacent to any project.
9. Contemporary design for alterations and additions to existingproperfies shall not be discouraged when
such atterations and additions do not destroy significant historical, architectural or culturai material,
and such design is campatible with the size, scale, color, material, and character of the property,
neighborhood, or environment.
/0. Whereverpossible, new additions or alterations to structures shall be dane in such a manner that ifsuch
alterations were to be removed in the future, the essential form and integrity of the structure would be
unimpaired.
Roo s:
Original roofing materials should be retained unless deteriorated. When partially reroofng, deteriorated roof
coverings should be replaced with new materials that match the o1d in composition, size, shape and texture.
YVhen entirely reroofing, new materials which d�er to such an extentfrom the old in composition, size, shape,
color or texture that the appearance of the building is altered should not be used.
Wood shingles in the nineteenth century were often dipped in creosote to preserve them, giving them a very
dark brown color. Victorians often stained wood shingles deep red or darkgreen to complement rather than
match the color of the house. When asphalt shingles began to be used in the 1890's, the most common colors
• were solid, uniform, deep red and solid, uniform, darkgreen. A weathered-wood color may be acceptable for
new asphalt shingZes because it is neutral and blends in. Black may be acceptable far Colonial Revival houses
built after the 1920's, but it should be avoided for Victorian houses.
The original roof type, slope, and overhangs shou[d be preserved. New dormers may be acceptable in some
cases if compatible with the original design. Modern skylights are a simple way to alter a roof to admit light
and air without disrupting its plane surface, are less noticeable than dormers, and may also be acceptable.
Skylights should be flat and as close to the roofplane as possible. They should not be placed on the frant roof
plane.
D. FINDINGS:
1. The house is considered pivotal to the Hill District.
2. There aze not any photos of the residence with a slate roof, nor was staff able to locate a
perxnit for the installation of a slate roo£ There aze wood shingles remaining on the roof and
stafF did locate a permit from 1913 for a reroof at the property with shingles. The guideline
states, Repair or replacement of missing architectural features should be based on accurate
duplications offeatures, substantiated by historic, physical, or pictorial evidence rather than on
conjectural designs or the availability of different architectural elements from other buildings or
structures. The installation of synthetic slate would not comply with the guideline.
3. The pxoposed material, synthetic slate in an evergreen blend, would differ to such an extent
from the old (asphalt shingle or wood shingle) in composition, size, shape, color or texture that
the appearance of the building would be altered. The guideline states materials that would alter
the appeazance should not be used.
• 4. There is evidence that the residence had a wood shingle roo£ Wood shingles in the
nineteenth century were often dipped in creosote to preserve them, giving them a very dark
brown color. Victorians often stained wood shingles deep red or dark green to complement
rather than match the color of the house. The installation of wood shingle, synthetic wood
�
��� ���//� Agenda Item V.A�
� � HPC File #10-001
• shingles of an appropriate size and color or asphalt shingle of an appropriate color and style
could be reviewed and approved by HPC staff. The installation of a synthetic shingle that would
mimic slate in an evergreen blend would not be historicalty accurate as far as materials are
concerned, but would also be inappropriate in color, as the roof color should complement rather
than match the color of the house.
5. The proposal will adversely impact the program for preservation for the Hill Historic District.
E. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: -
Based on the findings, staff recommends denial of the permit application.

Slate Roof Central - Asbestos Roofs
There are at least three types of asbestos shingles. Regular flat shingle tiles are
shown at top; common diamond shaped tiles are shown at middle, and side-lap
tiles are shown above It is difficult to find asbestos replacement tiles that match
the original roof in color shade, although there is a page on this site listing some
sources of asbestos tiles. Note the three replacement tiles on the diamond
asbestos roof above (they appear whiter than the original tiles).
Asbestos is a brittle and fregile material. It rannot be walked on as the tiles will
crack and these hairline cracks, which are hard to see, will leak. Asbestos tiles
can be cut with a Slate Cutter, some of which, in fad, were originally
manufactured to cut asbestos tiles. This tool will also punch holes in asbestos tiles
- no small feat as they tend to crack otherwise. You can also put holes in asbestos
tiles by using a small masonry drill bit (3/16" for example). You can work on
asbestos roofs by using hook ladders. A ladder hook is inexpensive and works
pretty well on asbestos roofs. Slate hooks work well for fastening replacement tiles
in place. On diamond shaped tiles use two hooks, one at 4 o clock and one at 8 0
clock (see beiow). When you use slate hooks you don't have to drill the tiles or
caulk anything. You can also use copper nails to nail the asbestos tiles back in
piace after taking the roof apart (such as when you replace flashings). The last
(top) row of tiles, however, will probably have to be installed with slate hooks.
Here is an illustration showing how to use slate hooks to repair an asbestos roof.

II. Conflict of Interest — None stated
III. Chair's Announcements — None stated
IV. Staff Announcements — None stated
V. Permit Review/Public Hearings
A. 534 Summit Avenue, Hill Historic District, by Clear Choice Construction LLC, for a
• building permit to install a synthetic slate roof at the residence. File #10-001 (Boulware, 266-
6715)
Staff reported the background and findings. Commissioner Trout-Oertel asked if synthetic slate was
approved before. HPC staff stated that synthetic slate has been approved for properties that originally had
slate but was then removed at some point in time. Staff also stated a recent example on Summit Avenue
where a synthetic wood roof was approved because the house originally had wood shingles.
The homeowner, Hubert Nelson, presented information he found online (www.oldhouseweb.com) that
stated "The earliest imitation of slate roofs were with cement asbestos tiles that proved to be quite durable,
but the colors didn't last. The thickness, texture, and dimensions didn't exactly replicate natural s]ate either."
Since one layer on the roof was the cement asbestos imitation slate, he believes he should be allowed a new
style of imitation slate. He had surveyed the neighborhood and found that there were only four houses with
stucco walls and wood shingles, but more than twenty with stone walls and slate. The siding treatment
should be taken into consideration, and slate is more frequently used with stucco exteriors. Commissioner
Trimble asked for clazification on the layers on the roof now; cedar shakes are on the bottom layer. It is
estimated that the imitation slate cement asbestos was added sometime after 1935. Commissioner Carey
asked how much cement asbestos is left and if there are any exposed areas. There are very few areas left.
Most is covered since the material is not durable and is starting to crack. Commissioner Trout-Oertel
remarked that although the cement asbestos may have historically been marketed as slate-like, the sample
shown to the commission is a poor imitation — the color and texture resemble wood more than slate.
Robert Roscoe of Design for Preservation then spoke on behalf of the applicant. He commended the HPC
for typically exercising reasonable judgment, but the case here is different because the applicant has already
• purchased the ($25,000) shingles. He believes the house has already lost its original design integrity since it
has changed styles over time. He also pointed out that, as the staff report states, the color name is
Evergreen, but the actual color is more of a gray. Roscoe reiterated that slate is a sympathetic material to
stucco. Commissioner Chair Manning asked, since the original design has been altered, what is the
Z�
�, i ���
. prevailing style today? Roscoe believes it has lost the core Tudor elemenu. Commissioner Trout-Oertel
asked when most changes were made. It was unclear, but staff stated that the Tudor changes were long
enough ago to be considered during the period of significance. The project roofer, Jason Moreau of Cleaz
Choice Construction, was under the impression that the imitation slate shingles could be purchased because
what had been on the roof before could be replaced. He went on to promote the pro's of the product,
including fire retardant, recyclable, cost-effective, and "green." He reinforced the argument of concrete
asbestos shingles being similar to slate because it was the same style to cut the shingles as cutting slate.
Commissioner Carey wondered if the shingles can be returned. Moreau would need to check with the
vendor. She also wondered about the durability of them, and Moreau said their life expectancy was
"lifetime," typically 30-50 years. HPC staff told the Commission that the same supplier that sold the
synthetic slate tiles also sells synthetic wood shingles. Staff had told the applicant that they could approve an
application that proposed a synthetic wood shingle because wood shingles were the main historic material.
They were clear with the applicant and contractor that no real slate was ever on the roof, and that although it
is unknown when the asbestos shingles were added, they were sure that they were not a significant aspect of
the house. Moreau concluded that he was told that whatever used to be on the roof could be replaced and
Commissioner Trout-Oertel added that real slate nor anything that truly resembled s]ate was present.
Staff read a letter from a neighbor encouraging the HPC to "embrace new technology" into the public
record. The public hearing was closed and Commissioner Trout-Oertel motioned to adopt the staff
recommendation and findings. Commissioner Haas seconded the motion. Commissioner Trout-Oertel
confirmed that situations are difficult when product has been pre-purchased, but that needs to be considered
irrelevant in order to avoid a dangerous precedent being set. Nothing on the roof ever resembled slate and
the proposed product does not truly look like it, either. Commissioner Thomas added that during that
• period, the cement asbestos was more of a utilitarian solution and not a design feature of imitation slate.
Commissioner Haas agreed with the last two commissioner's statements and added that historically, cement
asbestos synthetic slate never looked, felt, or canied the same presence as real slate. The HPC moved to
accept the staff recomme�dation and the motion carried 6-0.

MEMORANDUM
FROM: Amy Spong, HPC staff
RE: HPC appeal for 534 Summit Avenue, Hill Historic District
DATE: November 19, 2009
The following clarifies a timeline of changes to the property and which changes occur
within a period of significance:
1. The Period of significance refers to the span of time during which significant
events and activities occurred. Events and associations with historic properties
are finite; most properties have a ciearly definable period of significance. This
period for the Hill Historic District is from 1870 to 1930. This relates to the
district's major stages of residential construction which were strong through the
1920's and then languished and even halted after the stock market crash of
19Z9. It was during the 1930's that noticeabie changes in the character of the
Hill occurred due to the financial crisis.
2. Building chronology of 534 Summit:
1882 Designed by architect A.M. Radcliffe in a �ictorian Era sty/e at an
esdmated cost of$9,000
1913 Addition to building and interio� �emodeling designed by architect
Peter Linhoff at an estimated cost of $12, 000 (�ooFng mateiial noted
as shing/es). This is like/y when the building was remode%d to a
Tudo� sty/e.
1925 Addition to bui/ding at an estimated cost of $'S,000 (no roofing
material nofed).
1945 Reroofing of 3,500 square feet at an estimated cost of $1,500.
1947 Reroof at an estimated cost of $209.
1949 Replacement of cement floor at cost of $900.
•
3. The italicized items reflect changes made to the structure during the Period of
Significance.
4. The applicant believes the asbestos shingles were installed sometime after the
1930's and stafF would concur. The 1945 permit is likely when the asbestos
shingles were installed. Prior to that time the roofing materials was wood
shingles for peaked roofs and membrane for flat roofs.

Asbestos-Cement
Shingles
In the United States,
mechanized production of
asbestos-cement shingles began
in ihe fust decades of the 20th
century, following Austrian
Ludwig Hatschek's invem.ion of
a process in 1900 to
manufacture rolled and pressed
asbestos-cement sheets.
Hatschek's patent, reissued in
United Stated in 1907, led to a
rapid proliferation of the new
shingles. One eazly American
manufacturer, Etemit, took
their company name from the
riUe Aatschek had given lus
process.

Concrete
Roofing Tile
I�'ot atl cemenritious roofin� products were
asbestos-based. Concrete roofing tiles, which
date from the 1840s, were produced in
Germany by Adolph Kroher, a manufacturer of
cement and concrete products, who developed
a machine and process for pressins concrete
tiles that resembled shingles. In the United
States, as the concrete industry developed in
the first decade of the 20th century, cast-in-
ptace concrete roofin� sys[ems - and systems
assembled with concrete slabs - evolved. The
American Cement Tile Manufacturing
Company, for instance, advertised
"Cementile," a lar�e (2 feet by 5 feet by l 7/2
inches) steel-reinforced cement tile roofing, or
slab. in the 1929 issue of SweeYs
Architectural Catalogue. "Cementile" was
offered as a fla[ sheet for sheathing or as an
inter(ockine tile for a finished, watertight roof
covering. Such roofing products found
principat application for industrial buildings.
Smaller concrete roofing tiles were available in
the United States from companies such as
Hawthome in Chica�o by the late1920s.
Hawthome's mofing tiles, availabte in no
fewer than fourteen calocs, simutated Spanish
and French Clay tiles. Unlike asbestos-cement
shin�les which were nailed in place, concre[e
tiles were interlocking and laid on hanger
strips. Hip and ridge tiles were naited in
posi6on and holes were then pointed with
matching mortar.

The hydTaulic pressing process
enabled the shingles to he
given a tezcture, such as a
rough rusric surface or one
imitating weathemd wood.
The many styles and sizes of
asbestos-cement shingles
available, made possible roofs
laid in various methods
including American, Dutch
Lap, and French (known in
several variants as hexagonal,
honeycomb or diamond). The
French meThod was
particu]azly populaz for
asbes[os roofmg, capitatiang
on fl�e economy of the material
itself by laying it in an
efficient manner requiring
minimal overlap. Instaliarion
of asbestos shingles was
similaz to slate. S6ingles could
be punched, filed, or trimmed
to size in the field by mofing
contractors. Companies such
as behemoth Johns-Manville
and The Asbestos Shingle,
Slate, and Sheathing in
Ambler in Pennsylvania
promoted asbestos shin,,ales not
only for new construction but
also for roofing over e�sting
roofs.

In addition to shingles,
corrugated asbestos-cement sheathing, sometimes called asbestos building
lumber, was produced by many manufacturers as a substitute for corrugated
iron roofing. Used principally for industrial applications, corrugated
asUestos could be laid direc@y on steel mof purlins. Industriat buildings in
paniculaz benefited from the fireproofing qualities of asbestos-cement.
Both asbestos-cement shingles--and siding—were produced into the 1980s,

-1 Asbestos shingles are a type of construction material used to fortn the exterior sheathing of a roof.
They are very similar fo today's fiber cement shingles, but contain some quantity of asbestos fibers in
additional to the tradftionai cement board elements. This materiai was used throughout much of the
_ 20th century to construct roofs on homes and smali commercial buildings. Since the 1970s,
� <' production of asbesioscontaining products has been discontinued due to health concems related to
:.- h asbestos fibers.
w�cruanecs�o�sni�sz
History of Asbestos Shingles
Asbestos was first used by builders in Europe in the 1800s, who added 'R to to siding, tiles, shingles, and a variety of other
products. Once users began ta recognize the benefits of this material, its use quickty spread to the US. Asbestos shingles
quickly began to replace other materials like slate and clay, which were more expensive and less durable. From the early
20th century through the 1970s, asbestos shingles remained one of the most dominant roofing materials available. While
asbestos use was wide-spread, many also feared it was a healfh hazard, with deaths attributed to asbestos-exposure
dating back to the 7920s. By the late 1970s, the dangers associated with asbestos could no longer be ignored. The EPA
issued wamings regarding its use, and the resufting pubiic fiear effectively ended this producYs production by the 1980s.
Currently, there are no US companies that stili produce shingles containing asbesios.
Properties of Asbestos Shingles
Throughout history, asbestos has been considered somewhat of a miracle product. It is as strong and durable as marble,
yet is made up of fine threads that take up very 1'�ttle space. By adding it to shingles, manufacturers were able to increase
their strength, making them more resistant to damage or extreme weather conditions. �n addition, the asbestos fibers made
the shingles virtuaily fire-proof, which was a critical fador in the early 20th cenfury. Asbestos shingies aiso acted as thertnal
insulators and helped to keep outside noises from entering the home. lt is important to note that these shingles were not
made from asbestos aione, but were instead comprised mainly of cement. The term "asbestos shingles" means only that
some amount of asbestos can be found in the material, with percentages usually ranging from 5 to 35 percent.
Asbestos Dangers
According to the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), there is a definitive link between asbestos exposure and lung
disease. When one breathes an asbestos fiber, it can become trapped in the lungs. As the body tries to rid itself of the fiber,
fl can begin to cause damage to itself in the form of breathing difficulties, lung cancer, heart failure, or mesothelioma.
Because of these dangers, asbestos uss in the bufiding industry was prohibited in the llS as ofi 1990. Existing asbestos
shingles and other materials are permifted to stay in place, but new produds are banned from production or installation.
Asbestos Shingles in the Home
Many homes buift before the 1980s may have asbestos shingles, as well as asbesfos-containing roof felt and adhesive. As
tong as the root is intact and the sfiingles are not disturbed, ihere is v�rtualiy no danger oi health effects from asbestos
exposure. Danger occurs only when the fibers are breathed in, so as long as the asbestos is encased in the cement mBcture
of the shingies, the fibers will not be airbome. If shingles become damaged in any way, the asbestos fibers may be
released, posing a health hazard. In this case, the asbestos shingles shouid be removed or encapsulated by a trained and
Iicensed professional. Attempting to remove asbestos shingles on your own can have qtastrophic consequences. By the
same token, one should take qre to never drili into these shingies, or io disturb the surface using a power washer or any
other tool.

My first concern is the experience and qualifications of the
person that has condemned the roo£ Too aften I find someone
with e�erience only with newer roofing systems lacks the
knowledge to determine that, with proper repairs and regular
maintenance, there may be some life left in an old slate roof. On
other occasions, it can be abvious the person pronouncing a roof

Another concern is if changing the roof system may alter the
historic character of the building. The Secretary of the Interior's
Standards for Rehabilitation advises "deteriorated historic
features shall be repaired rather than replaced" but goes on to
state "where the severity of deterioration requires replacement of
a distinctive feature, the new feature shall match the old in
design, color, te�ure, and other visual qualities and, where
possible, materials."
If it's not economically feasible to preserve the old slate roof or
replace it with natural slate, I think it's best to find a material
that comes closest to matching what is being replaced. For
example, if your hame has gray Pennsylvania slate and ather
homes in your area have the same, installing an imitation of New
York red or Vermont green wouldn't be appropriate. In addition
to color, the te�rture, dimension, and thickness should also be
considered when comparing alternative materials.
�phalt/Fi�e��lass �l�in�le�
Up until the last couple decades, standard asphalt shingles have
had a pretty boring iwo-dimensianal appearance. Now
"dimensional" shingles create te�ires that are more
representative of natural roofing praducts, Also, some styles
have darker color granules applied in strategic locations to

The thickness, te�ture, and dimensions didn't exacdy replicate
natural slate either. About 2o years ago, there were many new
fiber cement roofing products introduced but there were some
major failures. Severe cracking, crazing, and discoloration
showed up on several products, resulting in many warranty
claims and class action lawsuits. Many of the manufacturers
moved away from the fiber cement roofing and others have made
changes to their product. The more recent fiber cement roofing
materials haven't been around long enough for me to determine
if the earlier problems have been completely eliminated.

Some folks looking into slate alternatives are quite shocked to
find that some of the imitations are actually quite e�pensive. Not
as expensive as natural slate but enough for them to seriously
consider a cheaper roofing system.
Life expectancy is another issue to cansider. These newer,
manufactured products often tout a lengthy warranty. Read these
"limited" warranties and you may likely find that advertising a
fifty year warranty certainly doesn`t guarantee the raof will last
�o years. If the roof fails, at say �€� years, read what the

Most types of natural slate have a known life e�pectancy well
beyond that of the average person. Some af the products
available for imitating a slate roof might have a life e�pectancy
beyond that of the average person's pet.

Slate Roof Central - Asbestos Roofs
There are at least three types of asbestos shingles Regular flat shingle tiles are
shown at top; common diamond shaped tiles are shown at middle, and side-lap
tiles are shown above. It is difficult to find asbestos replacement tiles that match
the original roof in color shade, although there is a page on this site listing some
sources of asbestos tiles. Note the three replacement tiles on the diamond
asbestos roof above (they appear whiter than the original t�les).
Asbestos is a brittle and fragile material. It cannot be walked on as the tiles will
crack and these hairline cracks, which are hard to see, will leak. Asbestos tiles can
be cut with a Slate Cutter, some of which, in fact, were originally manufactured to
cut asbestos tiles. This tool will also punch holes in asbestos tiles - no small feat as
they tend to crack otherwise. You can also put holes in asbestos tiles by using a
small masonry drifi bit (3/16" fior example). You can work on asbestos roofs by
using hook ladders. A ladder hook is inexpe�sive and works pretty well on
asbestos roofs. Slate hooks work well for fastening replacement tiles in place. On
diamond shaped tiles use iwo hooks, one at 4 o clock and one at 8 o clock (see
below). When you use slate hooks you don't have to drill the tiles or caulk anything
You can also use copper nails to nail the asbestos tiles back in pface after taking
the roof apart (such as when you replace flashings). The last (top) row of tiles,
however, will probably have to be installed with slate hooks.
Here is an illustration showing how to use slate hooks to repair an asbestos roof.
