Slate is the gold standard in roofing. These materials add character — especially to the historic properties and waterfront estates on Maryland's Eastern Shore. But not every contractor knows how to install them. Slate requires specialized skills, and incorrect installation is the number one reason it fails early.
Signs Slate Is Right for You
Slate is the right choice if you own a historic home and want to maintain its authentic look. They're ideal if you want the absolute longest-lasting roof possible. For custom builds wanting a distinctive look, nothing matches the elegance of real slate.
They're also smart when you compare the long-term cost of replacing asphalt two or three times versus installing slate once. The upfront investment is higher.
One consideration: slate is heavy. Your roof structure needs to support the weight. Composite slate is an alternative.
Our Slate Options
Natural slate comes in gray, green, black, purple, and red — each piece hand-selected.
Composite slate shingles are our fastest-growing option. Made from recycled materials, much lighter than real slate, and they replicate the look convincingly. For many homeowners, composite is the sweet spot.
For long life without the weight, Metal Roofing is worth considering — especially metal shingles styled to look like slate. For standard shingle Roof Replacement, our Owens Corning Platinum Preferred status means Platinum Protection is available on qualifying full-system roofs as a paid upgrade, registered within 60 days.
