I’m thinking about having a flat roof replaced on my home. Can you give me a basic outline of what a flat roof installation project entails?
February 29, 2024What options do I have when it comes to synthetic slates?
February 29, 2024Synthetic slates, also called composite slates, can be a great option when less maintenance is desired. Synthetic slates, when compared to natural slates, are less prone to breaking from heavy snow, foot traffic, or falling branches. While natural slates will require more maintenance, particularly after 50-60 years, most natural slate varieties will last many decades longer than synthetic slates. Pricing should not be a deciding factor, as there is little price difference between good quality synthetic slates and good quality natural slates. For additional comparison between the two, it should be noted that synthetic slate is lightweight and thus a great choice on any home that was not built with enough strength for natural slates, which are extremely heavy.
