When we propose new roofs in the St. Louis, MO area, we offer new NC Black as a replacement (full roof) of the old, failing PA Black roofs. Obviously the PA Black is disposed of. Eric P.

Walter is correct.   Old_school (Old_school) Senior Member Username: Old_school Post Number: 604 Registered: 01-2009 Posted on Friday, March 25, 2011 - 08:28 pm:        I don't think you can hurt it any more than the 100 years have already.   Walter_musson (Walter_musson) Senior Member Username: Walter_musson Post Number: 187 Registered: 07-2006 Posted on Friday, March 25, 2011 - 05:19 pm:        The slate thats there is old soft Penn slate , hardly worth saving .   Dave_leigh (Dave_leigh) New member Username: Dave_leigh Post Number: 1 Registered: 03-2011 Posted on Friday, March 25, 2011 - 01:06 pm:        I have a Queen Anne with 100 yr old slate and the back half is near the end which is where the sun hits it. I sent in a sample to the slate broker and he said it was NC unfading black so I bought 100 pieces for repairs. The trouble is that is stands out like a black tooth. When I turn over the old slate it is the same colour as the new. Do I go with a lighter shade to match even if it is not the correct slate. Cost is not an issue.
