Slate & Clay-Tile Roof Scope Limits

What causes it

Historic downtown Hastings roofs are often original slate or clay tile, which cannot be safely walked without cracking.

What we check

We inspect these roofs from a ladder, binoculars and drone, documenting covering, flashing and ridge condition within honest visual limits.

Why it matters

Walking slate damages it; pretending to fully inspect it is dishonest. We set clear expectations on what a visual scope can and can't confirm.
