Slate Roofing

Slate Roof Repair & Installation Experts in Pennsylvania

If you are not already familiar with slate roofing, there are some benefits that you should be aware of: Above all else, this type of roofing material is known for being beautiful. For many, this is an aesthetic look that is unsurpassed. What other roofing material do you know of that comes with a warranty that sometimes is as long as 100 years. Suffice it to say, this material has a lifespan that can easily span a century. This is an ideal choice for anyone who does not plan to sell their home because they will be able to take advantage of never having to replace their roof. It is probably obvious then that this material is extremely durable. Since it is a natural stone, it tends to be stronger than man-made materials. Plus, this is also a material that is low maintenance. Of course, should you sell, the resale value will be greatly increased for your home with a slate roof.

About Our Slate Roofing Services

Why is Slate Used For Roofing?

Slate is a popular roofing material for a number of reasons. First, it is an extremely durable material and can last for centuries with proper care. Slate is also fireproof, which is an important consideration for any roofing material. Slate roofs are relatively easy to install and repair. They are very attractive and add value to a home. Slate roofs are low maintenance and require little upkeep once they are installed.

Slate Roofing Pros and Cons

“Pros,” slate is a gorgeous roofing material that has been used for centuries. Homeowners love the classic, clean lines that slate roofs add to their homes.

“Cons,” this type of roof is heavy – slate roofs can weigh four times more than a traditional asphalt shingle roof. The thicker the slate, the heavier your roof will be.

How Long Does a Slate Roof Last?

When it comes to roofing materials, slate is often seen as the gold standard. Not only is slate incredibly durable, but it also has a long lifespan. In fact, a properly installed slate roof can last up to 100 years. While the initial cost of a slate roof may be higher than other materials, the long-term savings can be significant. When you factor in the reduced need for repairs and maintenance, a slate roof is an excellent investment. If you’re looking for a roofing material that will stand the test of time, slate is an ideal option.

How to Clean a Slate Roof

Over time, slate roofs can become stained and mossy, making them less attractive and less effective at protecting your home. The first step to cleaning is to remove any debris, such as leaves or branches, that may be trapping moisture against the slate. Once the debris is cleared away, the shingles can be washed with a mild cleaning solution.

Why Do Pennsylvania Homeowners Love Slate Roof

Like real cedar shakes or other natural materials, slate shingles are a strikingly beautiful roofing choice that can add a touch of sophistication to any home. Other materials may attempt to mimic the rich look, but it’s hard to beat the real thing!
