The Pros and Cons of Slate Roofing
When making your decision about the type of roofing you prefer, there will be pros and cons. It’s best to know what to expect.
Pros of Slate Roofing
- Beautiful: Slate is a popular material because of its aesthetic value. Slate roofs are striking and come in a variety of color options.
- Durable: Slate is incredibly durable and fire-resistant. You can count on it to last at least 50 years — some even last over 100 years! This means minimum maintenance and replacement costs!
- Eco-friendly: Slate roofs are sustainable and can be recycled after their service life.
Cons of Slate Roofing
- Expensive: Compared to other roofing materials, slate roofs are more expensive due to their longevity and durability.

During a recent windstorm, part of our roof cap tore off exposing the open area which could allow the environment to gain entry. We contacted our insurance agent and a claim process was initiated. Expecting to be under warranty from the … More prior installer, they came out and said the entire roof needed to be repaired. We again contacted our insurance agent as this seemed to be pretty extreme.
I was then speaking with a friend, and he said maybe get a second opinion to verify the findings of the previous install company. I did and Kirkness was suggested by a couple of people.
Andrew and Zach came out and looked over the roof. There was moderate damage except for the area of wind damage. They did not think a full replacement was the best path to take and suggested repairing the small damage area thus saving us the cost of our deductible.
They returned the following day, made the repair and you can't tell there was any damage. I missed them before they left and when we called Andrew for costs, he said don't worry about it, materials were minimal, and the 40 minutes was a way of saying thanks for calling us to provide service.
This will go a long way if and when I need further assistance with any of my roofing needs. Truly service excellence demonstrated by Andrew, Zach and Kirkness roofing. -
When I found a leak in my attic, I researched many local roofers but I’m glad I called Kirkness. They gave me guidance until snow cleared from my roof then Rob went up and resealed a spot he identified as the problem. Rob was honest, quick, … More and definitely earned a customer for life. I highly recommend Kirkness.

Top notch service and delivery. My roof was leaking in several spots and we needed a new one before the winter. It was a small project on a double wide trailer but instead of pushing us off like most other roofing companies, these guys … More made us a priority and got the roof done before the snow fell. Good job guys!

Rob Horton was simply outstanding. Very personable and knowledgeable. Had a small leak around the flashing on my chimney that was coming in the house. Probably could have sealed it myself but at my age the wife, my best friend, does … More not want me on the roof.
Well Rob climbed up and checked my roof saying it was in good shape and sealed off the chimney and another area on the back of the house.
Then followed up after the last rain to check if it was sealed good.
I ever need more roofing help I will only call Kirkness and Rob Horton.
Thanks again -
I called Kirkness after realizing our roof was leaking when it rained, into the house. I've never had to deal with such an issue, and am not well educated on roofing. Rob came out on time, which was a HUGE help because I only had limited … More time due to my work schedule to meet with someone at the home. He was kind, considerate, educational and even went the extra mile to caulk/seal some areas of our roof that had flexed due to the age of the home, to see if that would stop the leaking at no charge. I was skeptical, but it stopped the leak and this was after a previous company came out and tried to convince us to submit an insurance claim and replace the roof.
Rob saved us time, money, and from the fear of having a really awful spring. It's rained a few times since and not a drop. Thank you Kirkness for being there quickly and not taking advantage! We will definitely be coming back in the future! -
Kirkness has been my roofer of choice for over a decade. They work with your insurer, provide detailed, itemized estimates and are a locally owned business here in Billings and are invested in doing professional, quality work. They can … More handle jobs that require customized fabrication and leave your jobsite absolutely nail-free and tidy. In 2010, after the tornado, when the city was full of out-of-state roofers of all stripes, we knew that relying on local was best and best for Billings. From the office staff to the roof crews, Kirkness is definitely 5 Stars! I wholeheartedly tell you that you're going to be happy with their work and their integrity.
