It takes a highly skilled professional to successfully arrange the stones or “slates” in creative patterns in order to appear beautiful to the eye and to serve its purpose, which is to protect you, your family, and your home from the harsh elements. The slates are arranged using a system of overlaps and spacing and depending on which slating style you choose, it may be arranged in a diamond-patters or random widths, to name a few. A slate roofing professional is highly skilled at installing these patterns as well as traditional patterns in a way that creates a solid system that works to keep the home or structure dry for centuries.

A slate roof is a very specialized roofing system dating back hundreds of years. In fact, most existing slate roofs across the U.S are more than a century old and still highly functional. A system that will last this long should be installed by a professional roofing contractor in order to ensure guaranteed, successful results. Don’t trust your slate roofing installation or repair project to an amateur.
