The Pros and Cons of Slate Roofing
Every type of roofing has pros and cons. We’re here to help you know exactly what to expect.
Pros of Synthetic Slate Roofing
- Appearance – Slate looks wonderful and is an all-natural material. The dark stone look is a feature of many homes, allowing your home to stand out and look unique.
- Energy-Efficient & Environmentally Friendly – Being naturally dark in color, slate absorbs heat when it’s hot outside and releases it when the weather cools off, saving you money on your energy bills and helping to offset the initial cost.
- Fire Resistant – Unlike many other roofing materials like asphalt and cedar, slate tiles themselves are completely fireproof, making them the premier fire-resistant option.
- Longevity – A slate roof is cost-effective, in that it can last anywhere from 60 to 150 years, provided the initial installation pricing is within your budget.
Cons of Synthetic Slate Roofing
- Find a Contractor That Knows Slate – When hiring a contractor, Be sure to get references and ask about a contractor’s experience with slate roofs. Unfortunately, many try to install them with limited knowledge due to the high-profit margins.
- Fragile – Beware of walking around on slate roofs, slate is extremely fragile and one misstep can cause thousands of dollars of damage in broken tiles!
- Weight – Because slate roofing tiles can weigh over 1,000 pounds per square, you’ll need to ensure your home or business structure is sound before installing them.

Sargent Roofing came to do an inspection and repair on the roof of my new home and they were extremely thorough with our inspection and repair. They helped educate me on roof maintenance as well so I would reduce the possibility of future … More issues. We are going to use them again for gutter installation in the near future!
