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.

I initially expected Kirkness Roofing to be a typical contractor, but they truly exceeded expectations at every turn. They handled my roofing, siding, and gutters with precision and care—each job was done right the first time. What impressed … More me most was their commitment to quality. I assumed they’d use standard-grade materials, but instead, they consistently delivered superior products.
On top of that, Kirkness stayed in my corner for over six months, navigating countless conversations with my insurance company to ensure I received the best possible outcome. Their dedication and patience made a stressful process feel manageable. I’m genuinely glad I called them and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend their services. -
I had a concern about my roof, so I called Kirkness Roofing who had installed it back in 2014. Andy and his son came out the very next day and gave me a free follow up inspection. They were both very knowledgeable and put my mind to rest. … More It’s nice to see a company take care of its customers. Highly recommend them.

We needed a contractor to inspect our roof during the sale of our home. Robert Espinoza inspected our roof, made the necessary repairs and let us know that a new roof was definitely not needed. We appreciated his expertise, honesty and … More integrity. He provided the report to us the next day on a Saturday morning! Definitely above and beyond and I highly recommend this company.

My moms roof needed replaced BADLY. She wasn’t able to get homeowners insurance because of the condition the roof was in and has been there for just over 3 years. It got even worse with the recent hail/wind storm that came through. Kirkness … More stopped to look at it and they patched up a couple spots. Shortly after, they called and offered an awesome deal to help her replace the roof! We thought it could potentially be a scam or there had to be some sort of catch but nope! They were there early yesterday morning and were done in the afternoon. They left no mess behind & we no longer have to worry about how long the roof is going to last. Our minds and hearts were blown away by the amount of kindness we received from Kirkness & we will definitely be returning customers for any future needs! Thank you SO much!

I noticed a stain and a crack in the living room ceiling earlier in the week and knew I needed to find someone local who could diagnose the issue and make the repairs necessary. I called Kirkness Roofing on a Saturday morning and was pleasantly … More surprised at how quickly Andrew, the General Manager came out. I showed him the stain and crack in the ceiling and he quickly found the problem. A rubber boot had split around an HVAC pipe and he was able to fix it right there on the spot. Andrew is one of the nicest people you’ll ever encounter and knows the business. I’m grateful I called him, and I know you will be too.

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. -
Kirkness Roofing did a great job on my roof. They showed up at the scheduled time and wasted no time getting the job done. They also did a very good job cleaning the mess up when they were finished. I am very happy with the job they … More did and I highly recommend this business.

I highly recommend Kirkness.
