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.

Slate roofs last much longer than traditional asphalt shingles. Even if you don’t stay in your current home forever, your house will have a higher value than other homes with traditional roofs.

How do I clean my slate roof?

Your slate roof needs very little maintenance. After installation, we will give you a checklist so that you know what it will take to keep your roof in its best shape.

    We accepted an offer on our house only to find out during the inspection that we had sustained roof damage from one of the hail storms. I contacted Kirkness Roofing and spoke with Jerome. He was amazing and understood the time crunch … More we were facing. He worked directly with our insurance adjuster and somehow managed to get everything done in time for us to close on our house. Jerome was always very quick to respond when I had questions and made the process quite seamless. I would definitely recommend Kirkness Roofing.

    As a result of the July storm we suspected the worst- roofing damage. We contacted Kirkness Roofing and they came out in short order and confirmed our shingles were shot. An estimate soon followed and we gave the go ahead and they got everything … More lined up and installed. Carter was a pleasure to work with and his crew was amazing. They did an amazing job including clean up when the job was done. I believe this is the 4th time our roof has been done since 1997. Once for a remodel and the rest due to storm damage. And Kirkness Roofing has been our go to each time. I’m sure a lot of the faces have changed over the years but the quality of service has not-always the best. They really do a wonderful job and they do sincerely care about their customers and their satisfaction.

    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 can't say enough positive about Kirkness. I called them for a small roof repair. They were more than happy to come and give me an estimate. They arrived on time and were very professional. They even fixed the repair at the same … More time.

    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.

    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.

    Outstanding service from the start. Called and talked to a real person who scheduled us an apt for the next day. Jerome Miller (our roof inspector) was timely, polite, and knowledgeable. Would recommend.
