The Process of Installing Crown Slate Shingles
The installation of Crown Slate shingles involves several critical steps to ensure a secure and durable roof. Here’s a general overview of the installation process:
1. Roof Preparation
Before installing the shingles, the roof deck must be properly prepared. This includes inspecting the existing roof structure, making necessary repairs, and installing a solid underlayment that acts as a moisture barrier. For detailed roof inspection services, check out our roof inspection services.
2. Installing Starter Shingles
The first layer of shingles installed is the starter shingles. These shingles are placed at the eaves of the roof to ensure a secure foundation for the rest of the shingles. Starter shingles are essential for providing a consistent line and preventing wind uplift. Learn more about different roofing shingles we offer for various roof types.
3. Installing Crown Slate Shingles
Once the starter shingles are in place, the Crown Slate shingles are installed in rows, starting from the bottom and working upwards. Each row of shingles overlaps the previous one, ensuring a watertight seal. It’s important to ensure proper alignment and spacing between each shingle to avoid gaps and ensure optimal performance.

4. Securing the Shingles
Crown Slate shingles are heavy and require secure fastening. Typically, copper nails are used to attach each shingle to the roof deck. This provides additional durability and prevents the shingles from shifting over time. For more details on roofing nails and other materials, visit our roofing materials page.
5. Installing Flashing and Valleys
Flashing is installed around chimneys, skylights, and roof valleys to prevent water from entering the roof. Flashing is crucial in protecting vulnerable areas. To understand more about flashing installation, visit our roof flashing services page.
6. Final Inspection
Once the installation is complete, a final inspection is done to ensure everything is properly sealed and secured. This is critical for ensuring that the roof will perform well over time. Learn about our roof inspection services to keep your roof in top condition.
