Permanency of old roofs and new options tested
The article compares natural slate roofs, asbestos cement slate, shake shingles, and modern composition shingles. It notes natural slate lasts very long but costs eight times the price of composition plus heavy installation, while asbestos cement slate offers long life at lower cost. Shake roofs last 25 to 30 years and require vented air space, adding labor. The author mentions reroofing a 1938 house with a six year plan as a practical choice.
