Advantages of Slate Roofing

As a derivative of shale-type sedimentary rock, slate makes an ideal material for residential roofing applications. Slate offers several advantages over cheap roofing options and can present a more cost-effective option in the long run, especially with proper maintenance.

Curb Appeal

Slate has a natural texture and appearance. Its dark color can give your home a unique aesthetic appeal that will make it stand out in the neighborhood and its environment. Slate is also more exclusive than conventional roofing materials such as tiles or asphalt shingles, creating a refined, stately look.

This roofing type matches well with any design style and roof structure. Because of slate’s unique curb appeal, it has become the roofing material of choice in many professional commercial settings.

Long Lifespan

Slate doesn’t disintegrate over time, and it is not susceptible to rot or damage from insects. Because slate is a natural rock, it can withstand sunlight, rain, high winds, and hail without fading or eroding. This highly durable roofing material can have a functional lifespan of up to 150 years, making it an excellent option for family homes and estates.

Environmentally Friendly

Slate’s natural components mean that the extraction and working processes of these tiles require almost no fossil fuels. This roofing type also contains no chemicals, and you can easily reuse or recycle it when your roof reaches the end of its functional lifespan.

Low Maintenance Requirement

Maintaining your slate roof is quick, easy, and affordable. Texas Select Construction offers professional slate maintenance services, and we recommend you schedule a maintenance visit at least once every two to four years.

Our slate maintenance services include a thorough inspection to look for structural issues, missing shingles, and other defects. After this inspection, we will power wash your roof to remove debris, caked-on soil, and vegetation. Then, we will inspect and repair your roof flashing and gutter system to ensure that rainwater falling on your roof can flow away freely without causing damage.

Fire Resistant

Slate’s fire-resistant properties mean you will not have any difficulty with local building codes or safety regulations. You also don’t have to apply a fire retardant, which saves money and lowers your insurance costs. A fire-resistant roof also gives you the added peace of mind that comes with knowing your property has the right protection.

Drawbacks of Slate Roofing

Like all roofing types, slate comes with some drawbacks. If you work with a professional, such as Texas Select Construction, we can work around these issues and maximize the benefit you gain from your slate roof.

Weight

At a weight of more than 1,000 pounds per square, slate is among the heaviest roofing materials. Before installing your roof, Texas Select Construction will conduct a thorough inspection to ensure that your property’s structure can withstand the load.

High Installation Standards

Because of slate shingles’ weight and texture, installing a slate roof requires extensive experience, skills, and the right equipment.

If you treat a slate roof installation as a DIY project, your roof will not provide your structure with optimal protection, and you can expect recurring roofing defects. Instead, contact Texas Select Construction to ensure that you meet the high installation standards of professional slate roof installation.

Fragility

Slate cannot withstand heavy weights and impact from airborne objects. If you walk on a slate roof, you risk breaking your shingles. You should also ensure that there are no tree branches nearby that can break in high winds and fall on your roof.

How Much Does Slate Roofing Cost in Fort Worth?

In Fort Worth, the costs of slate roofing range from $2,000 to $4,000 per square, which is significantly more expensive than most other roofing materials. However, slate roofing can last up to five times longer than the most durable roofing options, making it worth considering for your home.

Todd Nordgren ★★★★★ January 2024
I used Texas Select Construction to replace my ten year old roof with a brand new roof. David and John came out to my house and provide a detailed estimate. The work was performed earlier than expected and completed all work in one day. Crew worked after dark to do a thorough clean up including rolling the yard to pick up all roofing nails. Texas Select Construction has the best customer service. I have recommended them to my family, friends and neighbors.

I just wanted to say that my husband and I came to Texas Select with a hot mess because of our insurance company. We were looking at our brand new home being nearly a complete loss because the insurance company was playing games with us. When other roofing companies bailed on us because of our insurance, John and Diana stuck by our side. Both of them were here for us every step of the way. Diana fought so hard for us on our claim, she is truly a blessing to work with. We started out being denied … More our entire claim except for a lowball offer on our roof. Texas Select went above and beyond for us. They got everything covered by the insurance for us. We love our new roof, and we are so grateful there isn't a hole in our guestroom any longer from mold caused by our insurance company. Texas Select will be by your side every step of the way to the very end!!

David and John were amazing to work with on the install of our new Class 4 roof and custom covered patio. They took a dream and a photo and made it a reality. It was exactly what I wanted. We had a small hiccup with flawed shingles and they immediately stopped the job, remedied it with the supplier, and had the job completed the next day. They were on time, took pride in workmanship, and delivered on every promise. The crews cleaned up after themselves and handled our home with care. Texas Select … More also took amazing care of a few friends and clients. We’re very happy that we chose to work with Texas Select Construction!

We just had our roof done by Texas Select and are very happy. John was great in explaining everything to us. We had never had our roof done before and we were confused by the process and the insurance company. He took the time to explain everything to us. He also made sure everything that he said would be done did get done. We were so impressed by him that we decided to go with him over a family member that also owns a roofing company. John is a very nice and professional guy. He left us feeling … More confident about our budget and our home. John also recommended a better ventalation system then the one the other company qouted us for. They even came back and fixed a few things that got a little messed up in the process and they made it right. I would highly recommend this company to anyone looking to get roof work done.
Eric Pendley ★★★★★ May 2024
Texas Select quickly got an estimator out to identify the work needed to repair a portion of my roof with minor damage and massive drainage issues. They gave a good and fair quote quickly and completed the job accurately and even better than expected. The repair solved all issues completely. The team was very easy to work with from start to finish. Billing and payment were very easy with multiple options for taking care of the money transfer.
Steve Goben ★★★★★ January 2024
In October of 2022, I contacted Texas Select to help rebuild my house after a fire. David and his crew met with us and discussed what they could do and gave us a general timeline for the project. We had never built a house before and needed someone we could trust to get our home rebuilt. David worked with us and built the home we wanted. He kept us involved and informed all the way. By August we were back in our house.
