"Impact roofing and Siding is exceptional! The owner, Rob, informed me they would be at my home at 7:00 AM. Being we have had contractors in past, I actually expected them to show up around 7:30. I was wrong. Rob and his crew showed up at 6:50 am ready to get started. Immediately when they arrived I received a text from Rob saying they were here. Rob, the owner, prepared me the day before that a dumpster would be placed exactly where he stated it would be the day of the consultation, and to place my car in a location where I could have access to leaving my driveway for work. Leaving for work, he met me outside and set the exact plan for the day and the expectations as well, including the time frame he would be at the house to oversee the project to when his crew would be finished. He informed me they would clean up as if they weren’t even here and they did just that. During the day Rob sent me multiple photos of the work being completed, and the status of the job. I was incredibly impressed with their professionalism and tenacity. Once the job was complete I was sent an image of the completed work. Rob informed me he will be back to our home once I got home from work and asked me what would be the best time? Within half an hour of getting home from work Rob was at my home with me reviewing the work and explaining thoroughly the events of the day, to which I knew most of being he channels his customers in during the course of the project. We walked around the entire home as well. He also took the time to take photos of the roof, both before and after, with his drone, showed them to me and will be sending them to me electronically. This was a great experience over all. I’m incredibly grateful we found such a reliable company, owner and crew. Replacing a roof can be stressful however, Rob and his crew made this process seemless and reassuring. Thank you impact roofing and siding! I highly recommend them!"

A slate roof is made of thin, even slices of natural slate stone laid over the roof frame and base layer. Slate is a hard, durable rock formed over millions of years from clay and volcanic ash under extreme pressure deep within the earth. Slate roofs are extremely heavy, even when the shingles are thin, so your roof will likely need reinforcement before your contractor can install the slate. These roofs offer a luxurious, high-end look and can last for decades, but they're costly to install and require regular maintenance.
Slate roofs offer several advantages over other roofing materials. Slate is easy to maintain, reliably lasts for decades, and is extremely durable. It offers a high-end natural look that's energy-efficient and provides a good return on investment. However, a slate roof is considerably more expensive than many other options. It's extremely heavy, may require structural reinforcement, and is complicated to install. Although it is strong, the tiles can crack with impact damage.
Real slate comes from natural stone. Synthetic slate comes from various sources made to look like slate. For either hard or soft natural stone, expect to pay $10 to $30 per square foot, each of which will last 50 to 200 years. If you choose synthetic slate, budget $10 to $15 per square foot. These options will last 20 to 50 years.
Slate roofs last for decades when properly maintained, with natural slate enduring from 50 to 200 years. Hard slate lasts 100 to 200 years, soft slate lasts 50 to 125 years, and synthetic slate lasts 50 to 100 years. The support structure and fixings often require replacement before the slate tiles themselves. Extreme weather, such as tornadoes and hail, reduces the overall lifespan of the roof.
Slate roofs are a valuable investment that boost property appeal and resale value. You receive an ROI of 60% to 70% when installing a slate roof. This roofing material is environmentally responsible because it is natural and lasts up to 200 years, keeping replacement waste to a minimum. In contrast, asphalt roofs expire after 20 to 30 years, which leads to increased waste in landfills.
Walking on your slate roof is not safe and you should avoid it. Don't tread on a slate roof because doing so risks damaging the tiles and risking your safety. Slate roofs are delicate despite their durability, and the weight of a person can crack the slate or cause unexpected slips due to a slick surface when wet. Professional roofing crews utilize specialized equipment to access and work on the roof without putting pressure on individual tiles.
