FAQ

Common questions

01How long does a slate roof actually last?
Properly-installed natural slate routinely lasts 100–150 years. The slate outlives the flashing, fasteners, and most other building components which is why slate roofs are restored rather than replaced.
02What does slate cost?
Premium investment typically $25–$50 per square foot installed, depending on slate origin and complexity. Best for owners planning to be in the home long-term or restoring historic property.
03Is my home structurally suitable for slate?
Slate weighs 6–10 pounds per square foot significantly more than asphalt. We evaluate structure during the estimate and let you know whether reinforcement is needed.
04Do you restore historic slate?
Yes restoration is a specialty. For pre-1960 homes with original slate, we identify which slates need replacement, source matching material, and preserve the original installation wherever possible.
05What warranty do you offer on workmanship?
If something goes wrong because of how we installed it, we make it right at no charge.
