Slate Roofing | Repairs

Frailey Roofing can help with your slate roof install or repair.

Slate is another roofing material that shows up on more upscale homes. Although slate is an expensive choice, it offers a very natural look and can be laid out in a variety of patterns.

Advantages

• The benefits of slate are similar to those of tile
• Very long lifespan
• Good fire protection
• Low maintenance
• Invulnerably to rot and insects
• It comes in a good selection of sizes and colors

Disadvantages

• Like tile, slate can be very heavy, sometimes requiring expensive extra support.
• Slate is breakable enough that walking on it is difficult for a non-professional, complicating such tasks as rooftop maintenance, gutter cleaning and painting.
