What Slate Roofs Have To Offer
Katelyn Lewis • Mar 14, 2023
Why, when so expensive, would anyone choose to put a slate roof on their home?
Well, they’re incredibly beautiful roofs, for one. Slate is a premium product in the roofing industry, with a potential 100-year lifespan. In fact, the nails holding them in place will go bad before the slate shingles do. A natural product derived from volcanic ash and clay, slate is also super durable, waterproof, and fireproof.
But this roofing type isn’t made for everyone’s home. Its weight in particular keeps a home not designed at its foundation for slate unable to hold up to it.
If you have a slate roof in need of repair, maintenance, or replacement, we’re here to help! Call us at 804-258-6300 to schedule your appointment today.
