Slate Roofing Services in Oklahoma City You Can Trust

Tusk Roofing is an Oklahoma City, OK, roofing company with the precision and skill to install and repair a beautiful slate roof on your home. Although slate is one of the most beautiful roofing materials you could use on your home, it can’t be installed on any home. It can only be installed on homes with enough structural integrity to hold it, so sometimes, the planning and installation process is more involved than other roofing materials. From beginning to end, we will assist you every step of the way.

Types of Slate Roofs We Install
Natural Slate
Natural slate has a lifespan of over 100 years. Combined with its beautiful look that also stands the test of time, it’s no wonder this is an envious roofing option! Natural slate is naturally waterproof, non-combustible, and unaffected by temperature changes, fungus, and mold. Because it lasts so long, you can trust your natural slate roof to improve your home’s value for a lifetime.
Synthetic Slate
Synthetic slate, although not natural stone, is still considered a green alternative that doesn’t contribute to landfills like asphalt shingles. Made of recycled plastic and rubber, synthetic slate is also long-lasting and durable against intense UV rays, impact, and moisture. Unlike natural slate, synthetic slate is lightweight, meaning you can install this without being worried about your home’s structural integrity.
The Pros and Cons of Slate Roofing
Pros of Slate Roofing
- Long-lasting: Slate roofs, especially in their natural stone state, can last for over 100 years when properly installed and maintained.
- Beautiful: It is really difficult to replicate the look of natural slate! Your home will be considered the talk of the block.
Improves home value: The fact that slate lasts long and is basically durable against everything, adds to your home value for a lifetime.
Cons of Slate Roofing
- Expensive: Quality comes at a price, and slate is no exception! While synthetic slates cost less than natural stone, it’s still five times the cost of luxury asphalt shingles.
- Heavyweight: Traditional stone slate is tough to install because of its weight. This requires special equipment and expert precision from your roofer for proper installation.
