"We have had a horrible experience when dealing with this company . During the very first month of our new roof, it leaked in 2 different spots.

The CEO has been to the site, the VP has been to the site, yet nothing changes and I still have a leaky roof . Run away! They do not honor their own warranty and we plan to reach out to our insurance company to notify them about Our bad experience with this company."

Hi! I’m Edgar. Thank you for inviting me into your home. I want to take a moment to give you a little background information about myself. I was born and raised in Vega Baja, Puerto Rico, and moved to Brevard County, FL, 21 years ago. I am a proud parent to the most amazing twins, Caleb and Camila. They just turned 9 years old. I’m a huge foodie, I could literally spend my paycheck on food, haha! One of my favorite hobbies is cooking, and one of my classic dishes is my chocolate crème brûlée. It’s the best in Brevard County, at least according to my kids. I also love anything related to cars and racing. Drag racing, NASCAR, Formula One, Indy Car, you name it, and I will watch it. Growing up, I used to drag race in my hometown. My dream car is a Ferrari 458 Italia. I want to thank you for inviting our company to give you an estimate for your roofing project. I am grateful for the opportunity to help homeowners find the best roofing solution for their homes. I look forward to working with you and doing everything possible to earn your business. Once again, thank you from your Local Roofing Experts family.

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.
