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.
  • Heavy: Slate is very heavy and may require extra framing. Installing a slate roof is always a job that must be left to the professionals.

    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

    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.

    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!

    Recently I had a project that needed fixing on my roof. I was lead to Robert who was working on a project in my neighborhood. He immediately assessed the problem and was able to fix it in short period of time. He showed how much he cares … More about his customers and how willing he is to go the extra mile to see that the job is done correctly. I truly appreciate the kindness he showed.
    I highly recommend Kirkness Roofing. If all their employees are like Robert, and I am sure they are, Kirkness has a high quality team working for them. The job they do will be outstanding. I will work with them on any future needs I have.

    Andy of Kirkness Roofing was amazing. He was professional, courteous, friendly and always prompt. He was great at communicating with us on every detail. He worked with us in dealing with the insurance people and turned a stressful situation … More into a very positive experience.
    Robert and the crew were professional and hard working. Cleanup was very thorough.
    Highly recommend and will certainly use again if we have future needs.

    We had a complete roof replacement. With the help of Robert we decided on a simulated shake roof. His team did an outstanding install. Fast, professional service. Completed the install in less time than org estimate. The clean up was … More impressive. Would recommend Robert and his team to anyone needing a reroofing project.
