What Is Slate Roofing?

Slate roofing is made from natural stone, split into durable tiles that can last 75+ years with low maintenance. It’s commonly used on luxury homes and landmark buildings.

Top Benefits of Slate Roofing

Architectural Beauty – Distinctive, natural look with lasting curb appeal

Fire-Resistant – Rated Class A for wildfire zones


Low Maintenance – Resists rot, algae, and moisture damage


Long-Term Value – One of the most durable roofing materials available


Authenticity – Ideal for historic restoration or prestige home builds

Why Choose Slate Roofing?

While slate can last 75 to 100 years or more, actual roof longevity depends heavily on the underlayment. We often perform a lift and relay to upgrade this layer and ensure the material reaches its full potential.
