Slate Roofing

Slate is the ultimate roofing material — a natural stone product that can protect a home for 75 to 100+ years with its timeless beauty only improving with age. On the Bay Area's most distinguished estates in Atherton, Old Palo Alto, Woodside, and Pacific Heights, slate roofs are a hallmark of architectural excellence and a statement of permanence that no manufactured material can replicate.

Finding a roofer who truly understands slate in the Bay Area is challenging. Slate installation and repair requires knowledge that goes far beyond standard roofing — understanding the geological properties of different quarry sources, proper nail placement to avoid cracking, headlap calculations for the local climate, and the ability to source reclaimed slate that matches existing installations. Our slate specialists bring decades of combined experience working with this extraordinary material.

For homeowners considering a new slate roof, we source premium material from Vermont, Pennsylvania, and Virginia quarries, as well as reclaimed slate from estate renovations across the country. For existing slate roofs needing repair, we maintain an inventory of salvaged slate in common Bay Area sizes and colors, allowing us to make seamless repairs without the long lead times that frustrate other contractors.
