The Pros and Cons of Slate Roofing 

Every type of roofing has pros and cons. We’re here to help you know exactly what to expect.

 

Pros of Synthetic Slate Roofing

      • Longevity

      • A slate roof is cost-effective, in that it can last anywhere from 60 to 150 years, provided the initial installation pricing is within your budget.

      •  
      •  
      • Appearance

      • Slate looks wonderful and is an all-natural material. The dark stone look is a feature of many homes, allowing your home to stand out and look unique.

      •  
      •  
      • Energy-Efficient & Environmentally Friendly

      • Being naturally dark in color, slate absorbs heat when it’s hot outside and releases it when the weather cools off, saving you money on your energy bills and helping to offset the initial cost.

      •  
        • Fire Resistant

      • Unlike many other roofing materials like asphalt and cedar, slate tiles themselves are completely fireproof, making them the premier fire-resistant option.

Cons of Synthetic Slate Roofing

  • Find a Contractor That Knows Slate

  • When hiring a contractor, Be sure to get references and ask about a contractor’s experience with slate roofs. Unfortunately, many try to install them with limited knowledge due to the high-profit margins.

  •  
  • Weight

  • Because slate roofing tiles can weigh over 1,000 pounds per square, you’ll need to ensure your home or business structure is sound before installing them.

  •  
  • Fragile

  • Beware of walking around on slate roofs, slate is extremely fragile and one misstep can cause thousands of dollars of damage in broken tiles!

Slate Roof FAQs

What is the cost of installing a synthetic slate roof in Charleston?
This cost will ultimately depend on the size of your home and the slope of your roof, as well as the style and colors you choose. Contact us for a free inspection to evaluate your slate options.
How long is the warranty on synthetic slate roofing?
As with many of our products, a 50-year warranty is available in addition to the 10-year workmanship warranty to ensure that you get the most out of your roof. Speak to our roofing specialists to ask about the specific types of synthetic slate we use and we would be happy to share more about the warranty information.
Are synthetic slate shingles better than natural slate shingles?

Synthetic slate shingles are lighter and less expensive than natural slate shingles. While both are environmentally friendly roofing materials, synthetic slate shingles are easier to transport and install because of their weight and uniform size. They’re less fragile than natural slate, too.

Our Customers Love Us

I just got my 20-year-old roof replaced through an insurance claim due to hail damage. Roofing USA walked me through the whole process with the insurance company, quickly scheduled the work, and got the roof replaced in 2 days. Although it was loud and messy for two days, the crew came back on the third day and did a thorough clean-up around the entire house. The roof looks great but of course, it is too soon to know the level of quality (i.e. lack of leaks) until it has been tested with the weather. Based on my experience so far, I would highly recommend Roofing USA.

Rodney Freeman

Very pleased with Roofing USA and the inspector (John B.) that came out to my house. After having to deal with other contractors, it was very refreshing to work with a group that was honest, respectful, and responsive.
John B. completed a roof inspection and gave me an honest assessment. He did not try and sell me something that we didn’t need. Actually did a few minor repairs at no charge.
Like I said I didn’t need a new roof at this time, but when I do I will be calling back Roofing USA to do the work. Very impressed so far.

Matthew Peterson

Jason Davey was so helpful when I first inquired about some problems I was having with my roof. He sent Cooper over the next day and from that point on they walked us through everything on getting a new roof. Once the install date came it was extremely fast and they left the yard looking better than before they got there. The roof looks fantastic and am so happy we went with Roofing USA. I would highly recommend them based on work quality and customer service.

Penny Lamonica

The team at Roofing USA in Charleston SC were Fantastic. From step one on the inspection to the final process of replacing our roof due to storm damage. They did everything and did it professionally and perfectly. They always went above and beyond doing a great job and even cleaning up each day when working so that we never got nails in our tires. Jason Davey and his entire team did a great job. I have and will continue to refer others to them for their roof inspections and repairs. They were the best contractors I’ve ever used for a roof!!!
