The Pros and Cons of Slate Roofing

Pros of Synthetic Slate Roofing

Appearance: Slate looks wonderful and is an all-natural material. The dark stone look is a feature of many homes, allowing your home to stand out and look unique.

Energy-Efficient & Environmentally Friendly: Being naturally dark in color, slate absorbs heat when it’s hot outside and releases it when the weather cools off, saving you money on your energy bills and helping to offset the initial cost.

Fire Resistant: Unlike many other roofing materials like asphalt and cedar, slate tiles themselves are completely fireproof, making them the premier fire-resistant option.

Longevity: A slate roof is cost-effective, in that it can last anywhere from 60 to 150 years, provided the initial installation pricing is within your budget.

Cons of Synthetic Slate Roofing

Find a Contractor That Knows Slate: When hiring a contractor, Be sure to get references and ask about a contractor’s experience with slate roofs. Unfortunately, many try to install them with limited knowledge due to the high-profit margins.

Fragile: Beware of walking around on slate roofs, slate is extremely fragile and one misstep can cause thousands of dollars of damage in broken tiles!

Weight: Because slate roofing tiles can weigh over 1,000 pounds per square, you’ll need to ensure your home or business structure is sound before installing them.

Travis was in charge of putting neww guttering on our home. He was knowledgeable, friendly and professional. He made sure his crew was on task. Eugene was equally friendly. You could tell he had done this kind of work before. They made sure the yard was completely free of debris and materials before leaving. If I could give them10 stars or more, I would.Thank you, Travis and Eugene

Travis and Eugene were extremely pleasant and great to work with. Gutters look great and they also added very nice leaf guards. They picked up well afterwards which was appreciated.
