Slate Roofing Contractor in Carmel, Indianapolis, Greenwood, & Nearby

Advantages of slate roofing:

Slate roofing is an incredibly unique roofing material with a variety of benefits that put it ahead of most alternatives. Slate roofing is:

• Long-lasting: Slate is perhaps the longest lasting roofing material commonly available. Slate roofs regularly last about a century and some slate roofs on historic homes are known to have lasted 200 years!
• Attractive: Slate roofing has a unique natural beauty lending it an elegant and distinctive look. Slate can either be naturally rough or smooth and no two slates will look exactly the same.
• Durable: Slate is an extremely durable roofing material that has proven extremely resistant to the ravages of time and nature. When slate roofing fails before hitting at least the 75-year mark it tends to be due to flashing and other non-slate components, not the slate itself.
• Moisture Resistant: As long as slate is intact it is extremely resilient and also resistant to moisture absorption.
• Naturally Colorful: Slate comes in a variety of colors ranging from black to red and purple. Therefore you have almost infinite color combinations available to you with slate.
