What You Need to Know About Slate Roofing

The first thing you need to know about slate roofing is that it’s the best roofing material out there. It is easily head and shoulders above whatever roofing material you have over your head right now!

1. Let’s talk on an even more granular level, the microscopic makeup of slate itself. Slate is made up of layers of thin metamorphic rock, and it is one of the most durable roofing materials in existence!

2. When it comes to roofing material types, you will be hard-pressed to find a more beautiful roofing material than slate. It’s not just because of the incredible durability that people have been choosing it over all other high-end roofing solutions for years. When it comes to high-end roofing, there is no other material that can bring the same levels of both beauty and strength like slate roofing can. Not only does slate come in a myriad of different colors, but depending on the artesian roofer you hire to install it, there is no limit to the designs and styles that can be created. Specialized slate roofers can incorporate beautiful works of art into your stunning one of a kind slate roof. Each slate roof is a work of art, and therefore when you get a slate roof on your home, not only will it probably outlast your life, but it is a one of a kind work of art that will come with a hundred-year warranty. 

3. The biggest limitation of slate is that it has no limitations. In all seriousness, the most significant limitation of slate roofing is that if there are any small issues or even cleaning that needs doing, you cannot use just any roofer to come out and do the job. Slate roofing, whether the job is big or small, requires a skilled hand. You can only hire someone who knows slate roofing well. An inexperienced roofer will damage your slate roof.
