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.

    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.

    We are incredibly impressed with the service we are receiving! The same day we requested an appointment, Jerome came to our home, inspected everything, gave us options and made us feel at ease. He then came back the next day to follow up … More and start some repairs that will prevent further damage. We are extremely happy with his service, honesty and professionalism!

    I called Kirkness after being ghosted by a previous contractor when I had 1 week to get some repairs done on a house I was selling. Jerome scheduled with me for that afternoon, inspected the entire roof and then had everything taken care … More of by the end of the day!! He was so kind and professional and an absolute life saver! 10/10 recommend and will definitely be calling back for any future roofing needs.

    Jerome was kind enough to come to my house and inspect my roof after one of recent storms. Needless to say I was holding my breath wondering what damage he would find. Great news, no damage or repairs were needed. Jerome sent me a very … More detailed report with pictures of my roof for me to review after his inspection.
    I highly recommend Kirkness Roofing for your roofing needs. They are trustworthy, kind, and reliable.
    Thanks, Jerome and Kirkness Roofing!

    We've had multiple companies companies come out to look at our roof. We're totally impressed with Jerome. Our roof is almost flat and rubber. He put us in contact with the company that did the work and checked with me to make … More sure the was done. It's hard to find companies with this kind of ethics today.

    We’ve been trying to track down a roof leak for a while now and have been unable to identify it. After calling a couple places in town, Kirkness was able to get us in their schedule right away. Jerome came out to try to identify the potential … More leak. After checking the roof and showing me photos of potential points of water entry, Jerome went back to the shop and came out with warm sealant (on a cold day) to seal
    all areas he could find, free of charge. We haven’t had rain yet, to see if the fix worked; but we appreciate their fast service and attention to a leak, without trying to sell us a whole new roof and solar right off the bat. 😂 It’s great to have a company willing to look at the small repair jobs and not just focus on full roof replacements. Thank you, Kirkness Roofing.

    There was a leak coming from the skylight and I called Kirkness Roofing. Jack responded promptly and fixed the problem.He also inspected the other skylights and the rest of the roof. Jack then discussed with me options to replaced the skylight … More in the future if necessary. Overall the service and cost from Kirkness Roofing was excellent. I highly recommend then for any roofing work.

    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.
