Slate Requires a Specialist — Not a Standard Roofer

Installing or replacing a slate roof is a true craft. Slate is durable, but brittle. It requires precise handling, specialized tools, and installers with years of experience. Slate roofing demands: exact load calculations, proper deck reinforcement, specialized fasteners and nail patterns, and detailed valley, ridge, and penetration work. Baker Home Exteriors brings master-level skill backed by over a century of roofing excellence.

FAQ

Answering Your Slate Roofing Questions

Slate is essentially rock, which is incredibly durable and can last several hundred years, often with little to no maintenance. It’s safe to say that you will get at least 75 to 100 years out of your slate roof. However, it’s important that you do not put anything on your slate roof, such as sealant or paint, because this can cause the roof to age prematurely.

Natural slate offers distinctive beauty through hand-split edges and unique variations, while synthetic slate captures this classic character through texturing and eco-friendly materials. Explore our detailed comparison here to find your ideal choice.

A slate roof represents an investment two to three times higher than traditional architectural shingles, with final costs varying by home size and roof pitch. While the initial cost exceeds standard options, slate delivers lifetime value through minimal maintenance requirements and unmatched longevity.

Slate and clay tile each showcase refined, traditional beauty through their natural origins. These materials represent similar investment levels and provide enduring durability. Your choice ultimately depends on your desired architectural aesthetic.

Slate’s natural density and substantial weight provide superior protection against severe weather, from high winds to heavy rains. As one of nature’s most fire-resistant materials, slate delivers both protection and environmental benefits through its natural composition.
