Natural Slate Roofing

Natural Slate Roofing

Natural slate is the longest-lasting roof you can put on a house, and the least forgiving to install. It takes copper nails, proper headlap, and a crew that knows how to cut and hook slate. We install and repair it.

Slate sources

Before you choose slate

  • Structure: slate is very heavy; we check framing and may recommend reinforcement
  • Hail: slate can crack, but broken pieces can be replaced individually
  • Flashings: copper or long-life metal, to match the slate's lifespan
  • Alternatives: see synthetic vs. real slate

Quarry and brand comparisons: Greenstone, Evergreen and North Country. Repairs: slate repair.

Residential warranty: a 10-year transferable workmanship warranty, with manufacturer warranties up to lifetime. Manufacturer coverage depends on the product and brand, and on the project qualifying for that manufacturer's program. We put the exact warranty for your roof in writing.
