Why Choose Natural Slate?
Slate is widely considered the highest quality roofing material on the market. While the initial investment is higher, the long-term benefits are unmatched.
Century-Long Lifespan
A properly installed slate roof can easily last 100 to 150 years. It is often the last roof your home will ever need.
Unmatched Aesthetics
Natural stone offers a unique, luxurious texture and color variation that synthetic materials simply cannot replicate.
Naturally Fire Resistant
Because it is natural stone, slate is completely fireproof, providing the highest level of protection against airborne sparks.
Installation Requires True Craftsmanship
Installing a slate roof is an art form. It requires specialized knowledge, custom copper flashing work, and structural assessments to ensure your home can support the weight of the stone. Unlike standard asphalt shingle installations, slate roofing demands a craftsman's understanding of how natural stone behaves over decades of thermal cycling, moisture exposure, and North Carolina's unpredictable storm season.
Before any slate is installed, we conduct a thorough structural evaluation of your roof deck and framing. Natural slate can weigh 800 to 1,000 pounds per square — significantly more than asphalt — so the underlying structure must be engineered to carry that load safely. If reinforcement is needed, we identify it upfront so there are no surprises during installation.
Every slate roof we install includes custom metalwork for valleys, ridges, and flashing. We typically use copper because it ages gracefully alongside natural stone and won't react with the slate over time. Each piece of slate is hand-selected, cut, and fastened with copper or stainless nails — never galvanized, which can corrode and stain the stone. This attention to detail is what separates a slate roof that lasts a century from one that fails in twenty years.
