SLATE ROOFING CENTRAL ARKANSAS 

WHY CHOOSE SLATE ROOFING FOR YOUR HOME OR COMMERCIAL RESIDENCE?

For centuries, slate roofing has topped the world’s greatest buildings. Slate rock originates from natural sedimentary particles of clay and silt which are non-absorbent and solid. Some of America’s oldest properties are proudly roofed with slate because of its beauty, durability, and longevity.

Hand-split slates from America’s finest quarries offer the following benefits…

• Aesthetically pleasing – Slate roofs draw your attention immediately in the way that other shingles never could. Most roofing applications are uniform and, as they age, might begin to look faded and worn. Meanwhile, every single piece of slate ages differently, giving your roof a specific old-world charm when installed and even more character as it ages.
• Longevity – Slate is a dense, sound rock, which makes it the durable choice in providing long-term value. Slate roofs can last upwards of 100 years and span different lifetimes, in contrast to other roofing applications which might be re-roofed several times within the same time period. Few other roofing materials can compete!
• Fire resistant – As opposed to many other roofing materials, slate is completely non-combustible and will protect your home in the event of a fire or from the sparks of a fire in an adjacent house, fireworks, wildfires, etc.
• Weather resistant – Slate is one of the most durable man-made materials and will stand up to heavy winds and rain. This makes it the ideal choice of Arkansas residents. The high density of the rock also means that it will not absorb water and, therefore, not be affected by fungus or mold.
• Variety of colors and sizes – Choosing a slate roof allows you to pick out your own combination of colors, sizes, and textures unique to your house! Because they are cut and shaped by hand, they can be custom-made in a variety of thicknesses and sizes. Moreover, the color of slate is determined by its mineral composition, which means that slate can be obtained in a spectrum of colors. However, you can never go wrong with the classic natural colors!
• Easy to change, repair, and replace – If you decide you do want to change the color combination on your roof, individual pieces may be removed, rearranged, or fully replaced. Plus, slate roofs are one of the easiest to repair and restore! Contact us to learn more about slate roof repair and restoration!
