Slate roof installation: a Berks tradition

Slate roof installation is a unique building specialty. For certain buildings, slate is the perfect capstone. It looks great on older structures. It fits perfectly with many newer buildings of traditional design. And it's even right for some modern homes and commercial and institutional buildings.

Pennsylvania was once a mainstay of slate mining. Many Berks houses were roofed with slate from nearby counties. Today only a few quarries still operate nationwide. Producers still quarry stock from dense rock that's very tough and durable.

Roofs of this kind can last a century. Few materials yield this kind of long-term value, quality and performance.

With regular slate roofing and slate roof tiles, a wide range of architectural effects are possible. As many as 14 different color choices are available. Slate roofing and tiles are provided in a range of shapes and textures. The visual effects are striking and widely varied.

For slate roofing installation, it's crucial to employ roofers who know this specialized material. The same is true when some of the very old slate roofs in Berks County, Reading, Boyertown and nearby areas need repair. All such work should be entrusted to roofers with proven experience and skill.
