A cedar roof, when properly installed and maintained, typically has a lifespan of 30 to 50 years. The use of treated cedar and adequate ventilation can potentially extend this lifespan even further.

The lifespan of an asphalt shingle roof typically ranges from 30 to 50 years. This duration can vary based on factors such as the shingle type and quality, installation methods, and local climate conditions.

Indications that your asphalt roof may require repair or replacement include missing or curling shingles, loss of granules, water leaks, dark streaks on the roof surface, and visible sagging. If your roof is over two decades old, it's advisable to schedule a professional inspection.

A slate roof, when installed correctly, can endure for 50 to over 75 years, making it one of the most long-lasting roofing materials available. Regular inspections and minor upkeep contribute to maintaining its longevity.

Slate roofing does have a higher initial cost compared to other materials, due to both the expense of the slate itself and the labor-intensive installation process. However, its exceptional durability and low maintenance requirements often make it a cost-effective choice in the long term.

Slate roofing is considerably heavier than asphalt or metal alternatives. Our team conducts a thorough assessment of your home's structural integrity prior to installation. In some instances, additional structural support may be necessary to accommodate the weight of a slate roof.

In the event of a slate tile cracking or breaking, typically due to impact, it can be individually replaced without affecting the surrounding roof area. Our skilled repair technicians use matching slate to ensure the roof's appearance and integrity are maintained.

Slate roofing is available in a variety of colors, sizes, and textures, depending on its quarry source. Common color options include gray, black, green, purple, and red. Our team can assist you in selecting the most suitable option to complement your home's architectural style.
