Why It Matters
THE ULTIMATE ROOFING INVESTMENT
Slate and tile roofs are found on the world's most enduring structures for good reason. These natural materials resist fire, rot, insects, and extreme weather — while aging with a patina that actually increases their beauty over time. They're the ultimate long-term roofing investment.
- Natural slate: 75–200 year lifespan
- Clay tile: 75–100 year lifespan
- Class A fire rating — non-combustible
- Resistant to rot, insects, and mold
- Superior wind resistance when properly installed
- Increases property value significantly
What Sets Us Apart
THE YOSEMITE DIFFERENCE
Slate and tile installation requires specialized structural analysis — these materials are significantly heavier than asphalt and require proper load engineering.
We source slate from quarries with proven track records for consistency and longevity, and our clay tiles are kiln-fired for uniform density.
Our installation teams are trained in traditional headlap, sidelap, and fastening techniques that ensure a century of performance.
Is Your Home a Candidate for Slate or Tile?
Slate and tile are significantly heavier than asphalt shingles — natural slate weighs 800–1,500 lbs per square, compared to 200–350 lbs for asphalt. Your home's structure must be evaluated and potentially reinforced to support this additional load. Our team works with structural engineers to assess your home's capacity and design any necessary reinforcements before installation begins.
Maintenance and Repair of Slate and Tile Roofs
While slate and tile are incredibly durable, individual tiles can crack from foot traffic or impact, and the flashing and underlayment beneath them have shorter lifespans. Regular maintenance inspections — ideally every 2-3 years — ensure that developing issues are caught early. We stock replacement tiles and have the specialized tools and training needed for proper slate and tile repair.
