Our Slate

Slate is a 100% natural material that is able to protect you and your home from nature’s elements for your lifetime and beyond.

Created by Mother Nature over hundreds of millions of years, roofing slate tile offers a unique combination of all-natural material, extremely long service life and unparalleled beauty. Extracted from the ground and fabricated by people with centuries of slate heritage, and installed by craftsmen using methods passed down through generations, a slate roof imbues any project with a sense of quality, permanence, and tradition. With an amazing array of natural colors, countless combinations of length/width/thickness, and a variety of installation styles, a slate roof tile can be customized to complement almost any architectural style.

Unique Beauty Abounds

Slate is harvested as raw stone and shaped by craftsman to create a stunning, one of a kind, generational roof.

Lifetime Investment

Real, natural slate roofs commonly last over 100 years, making them a great value when compared to lesser options like wood, metal, composite, clay, and asphalt.

Slate roofing withstands freeze/thaw cycles and high temperatures; is resistant to chemical and acid rain; is rated Class A Fire Resistant (non-combustible); and is rated Class 3 and Class 4 Hail Impact Resistance (3/4 to 2 inch ice balls).
