ROOF SYSTEMS
Slate Roof Systems
Slate roofs are as old as Colonial America. Because of this, slate is commonly found in historical restorations. Slate is durable, fireproof, and can be very beautiful in its multitude of colors. For that reason, it was commonly found on 19th century roofs, and into the 20th century through the Tudor Revival. On top of being all-natural, slate is long lasting, possibly one of the longest-term investments you can make for your building envelope.
Shingle Roof Systems
Shingles are most commonly associated with roofs. Asphalt shingles are a popular steep slope roof system and come in several forms and colors. Standard 3-Tab shingles last up to 20 years on a roof, while architectural shingles are thicker, longer lasting and have more options for texture and shape. This allows for a more aesthetically pleasing look than other commercial roofs and more “curb appeal.”
