Aesthetically Appealing, Affordable, Available

This 75-year-old Vermont Slate roof was removed from a large residence near Chicago, IL. With the residence being deconstructed piece by piece, extra attention and care was put into the removal and handling of this slate. Each slate measures 20” in length and widths ranging from 10”, 11” and 12” on average with thicknesses ranging from 3/8” minimum and all the way up to 1-1/2” Mansion style slabs. The predominant colors are Non-Fading Gray/ Green and Royal Purple. This slate sets the standard in overall appeal and texture for a reclaimed roof that will last for another generation.

At Renaissance Tile and Slate, a significant portion of our business is our ability to reclaim and purchase good and intact tile and slate roofing systems throughout the United States.

The “life-Blood” of historical roof restoration industry, these viable roofing products are procured in many ways. Most commonly, Renaissance Tile and Slate salvage crews travel to locations within a several hundred mile radius to physical remove these materials form each roof, bring to the ground, package into crates and truck back to one of our locations in the Midwest. Along with our own resources to reclaim, we also work closely with roofing contractors, demolition contractors and deconstruction companies in efforts to remove, package and ship. Finally, we also purchase left over materials (new or reclaimed) in large and small quantities. These materials are sold to us by home owners, contractors and other sources throughout the United States.
