Installing a Slate Roof

Slate Roofing Installation
Adding a slate roof to your home will not only give your house a distinctive and beautiful look, it will also be providing you with a very durable roofing option.

Maintenance Free
Slate is a natural stone that requires little to no maintenance and won't need any sealers or chemicals to constantly treat it. Slate even has an excellent fire rating as it is stone and will not allow fire to catch on or spread on its surface. It can resist mold or fungal growth. If there is any breakage, the tiles or sections can be easily replaced. And it's available in a variety of colors, textures, and thicknesses.

A Green Roofing Option?
It's even the perfect option for those looking for a more green or sustainable material for their new roof. If you add an asphalt shingle or wood shake shingle roof to your home, you'll more than likely be replacing that roof in 15 years to, at most, 50 years. A slate roof can last more than 100 years. And, if and when you or descendants, should have to replace it - the slate can be recycled.
