Slate is not just another roofing option—it’s a legacy material. Known for its natural durability, elegant visual profile, and unmatched lifespan, slate has protected buildings for centuries.
Here’s what sets slate apart:
Whether you’re designing a new home or preserving a historic structure, slate provides the long-term value and architectural integrity you want in a roofing system.
Dakota Roofing & Gutters offers specialised slate roofing services tailored to both residential and select commercial properties.
We install custom slate roofing systems using high-quality materials sourced from dependable quarries. Our installers are trained in traditional and modern slate techniques, ensuring a watertight, long-lasting roof built to match your architectural style.
If your slate roof has reached the end of its service life—or if your existing roof uses inferior synthetic slates—we handle complete tear-offs and full-system replacements. We inspect the roof decking, update flashings, and install a modern underlayment system that supports genuine slate tiles.
From chipped tiles and loose nails to flashing damage and leaks, we diagnose and repair slate roofs with precision. Our team ensures each fix is properly integrated into the roof system to prevent further damage or visual mismatch.
Want more than just a plain slate roof? We offer designer patterns, multi-tone slates, graduated installations, and architectural layouts that create visual interest while preserving structural integrity.
For churches, colonial homes, or registered landmarks, we provide gentle but exacting restoration services. We use period-appropriate slate and installation methods, respecting the building’s original structure and code requirements.
Common Slate Roofing Issues We Resolve
While slate is extremely durable, poor installation, aging, or impact damage can lead to issues. We regularly resolve:
Our inspections are thorough and honest—designed to prevent small problems from becoming costly structural issues.
Every project follows a clearly structured process designed to ensure long-term performance and a smooth customer experience:
We assess your existing roof or review new construction plans. We identify structural needs, pitch suitability, and potential complications.
We recommend suitable slate types—such as Vermont, Pennsylvania, or Brazilian slate—based on your aesthetic preferences, home style, and budget. You’ll receive a detailed, transparent quote outlining materials, labour, timeline, and warranty.
We protect the landscaping, gutters, and home exterior. Old roofing materials are carefully removed if necessary, and we inspect and reinforce the roof deck if needed.
Our slate team installs tiles using proper spacing, copper nails, and breathable underlayment systems. Repairs are executed with matching slate and industry-best techniques to preserve both function and appearance.
We inspect every seam, tile, and transition point. Once the roof passes inspection, we clear debris, remove protective barriers, and walk you through your new roof.

We serve clients, including:
Q1. How long does a slate roof last?
A properly installed and maintained natural slate roof can last 75 to 100+ years, far outlasting most roofing materials.
Q2. Is slate roofing too heavy for my house?
Slate is heavy and requires strong structural support. During inspection, we assess whether your roof deck needs reinforcement before proceeding with installation.
Q3. Is slate roofing expensive?
Slate is a premium investment. While the upfront cost is higher, its lifespan, low maintenance, and property value increase make it a cost-effective long-term choice.
Q4. Can you repair my current slate roof, or do I need a full replacement?
We repair slate roofs when possible. Full replacement is only recommended when tile damage is widespread or the roof structure is compromised.
Q5. Do you install synthetic slate?
Our specialty is natural slate. If you’re interested in synthetic slate as a more budget-friendly or lightweight alternative, we’re happy to consult and advise accordingly.

Faqs
If your roof has minor damage like a few missing shingles or small leaks, repairs may be enough. But widespread issues, sagging, or aging (15+ years) often mean a full replacement is best. We offer free inspections to guide you.
Most roof installations take 1 to 3 days, depending on the size, materials, and weather. We always work efficiently without compromising quality or safety.
We use only premium GAF-certified materials, known for their durability, weather resistance, and great warranty coverage. We’ll help you choose the right one for your home and budget.
Yes! We offer flexible financing options to make your roofing project more manageable. Ask us about low monthly payment plans during your free estimate.
We offer lifetime warranty options on both materials and workmanship, giving you long-term peace of mind. Ask us about warranty details during your consultation.
Gutters should be cleaned at least twice a year, usually in the spring and fall. If you have overhanging trees, more frequent cleaning is recommended to prevent clogs and water damage.
