Slate Roof
Hey Everyone,
I am looking at a house with a slate roof, and am wondering if anyone has had any experience doing a flip with one. Did you replace it? Or if it was in good condition, did you leave it?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
David

I've never dealt with one, but if it's in good shape, I'd leave it. Slate roofs are expensive, and I would consider it a great asset. I only see them on high end homes around here. There's a reason asphalt shingle companies make a "slate look" shingle - many people can't afford slate, but like the high end look.
