Why Choose Slate Roofing?

Slate is the highest quality and most durable of all available roofing materials, able to resist damage from rain, snow, and wind. Slate is natural metamorphic stone that can be split into tiles of uniform thickness. It outperforms any man-made roofing material and is the longest-lasting option. Slate is the standard to which all other roofing materials are compared.

A slate roof offers unrivaled beauty for a home. Since slate is a natural product, no two pieces are exactly alike. Each piece has slight variations in texture, thickness and color, which can give your home’s roof a unique appearance. Slate is available in an array of colors and textures to match any homeowner’s taste.
