Natural Slate

If you are looking for roofing options with great aesthetic value and durability, slate may be the best material for your home. Slate has been around for some time and is known for its beauty which can boost your home’s value. Slate roofing is made from natural stone which is durable and strong. Some slate roofing materials can last up to 150 years.

 

They are excellent at resisting fire. They don’t require additional coatings like wood shakes or some roofing shingles. The natural stone has an exquisite gray appearance that is celebrated worldwide. They come in a wide variety of choices to choose from. You can find slate in different colors such as purple, red or black.

Composite Slate

Slate roofs have been a popular roofing choice for many years, however, their weight and cost prevent them from being a feasible roofing solution for every home. If you’ve been wanting the look of a slate roof but your home can’t support the weight of natural stone or it’s out of your budget – synthetic slate may be a great option for you! 

 

An artificial roof costs a fraction of what an authentic roof costs you – and is easier to maintain as the roofing surface is less fragile. In fact, artificial slate is very low maintenance as it is non-porous, resistant to algae and insects, and will not curl or crack which are all problems that can require costly repairs in other roofing materials. Synthetic slate is much lighter so much so that the need for roofing supports is nonexistent!

 

The lightness of synthetic slate also makes it easier for contractors to install as they will require fewer special tools to install your roof. Additionally, each synthetic slate shingle is made from a durable polymer and treated for color fastness and coated with UV resistant protectants which will keep your roof and home looking its best for longer.

Roof Replacement
There are plenty of sensible reasons to replace your roof other than obvious leaks and holes. If you live in an area that gets hit especially hard by hail, high winds, or other types of storms/bad weather, there’s a good chance the constant thrashing your roof is taking has left it worn down to the point where it may just be more cost-effective to do a full replacement than keep up with spot repairs. If it’s just been a long time since you’ve had your roof replaced, the materials currently protecting your home may be far less effective and efficient compared to newer products on the market. ​
Roof Repair
Whether your roof needs minor repairs, or major ones, you can always count on our seasoned roof repair technicians at Skyline Exteriors to get the job done right. We can handle damage caused by severe storms/weather, wildlife infestations, flashing and ventilation mistakes caused by careless installation, general wear and tear from lack of proper upkeep or age, poor landscaping, insufficient gutter drainage, and anything else that might be going on.
Storm Damage
Whenever your home has been hit by hail, high winds, or any other type of storm damage, seeking restoration services as soon as possible is the only way to save yourself a bigger headache, and expense, later on. Luckily, our comprehensive restoration experts at Skyline Exteriors are always around to make sure you have the resources and support you need to return your roof to its former glory after any natural disaster. ​
