Types of Slate Roofs We Install
Natural
Natural slate is made from shale or clay, and is quarried from the ground. It has a natural, textured appearance with unique color variations. Natural slate roofs are one of the most durable roofing options available, lasting up to 100 years or more. They are also naturally insulating and can reduce your home’s energy costs.
Synthetic
Synthetic slate is a good choice for those who want the look of natural slate without the hefty price tag or added weight. Synthetic slate provides many of the same benefits as its natural counterpart, such as fire resistance and durability. The biggest downside is that they are not as environmentally friendly; some contain petroleum-based products in their manufacturing.
The Pros and Cons of Slate Roofing
When making your decision about the type of roofing you prefer, there will be pros and cons. It’s best to know what to expect.
Pros of Slate Roofing
- Beautiful: Slate roofs can provide an aesthetic and historical charm to many homes.
- Long-lasting: We’ve encountered slate roofs that have been around for over 100 years!
- Environmentally friendly: Natural slate is a sustainable material that doesn’t contribute much waste at the end of its lifespan
Cons of Slate Roofing
- Expensive: The biggest drawback of slate is its cost. It’s much more expensive than other types of roofing materials, such as asphalt shingles and wood shakes.
- Heavyweight: Slate is very heavy, so you may need to reinforce your roof structure in order to support the weight of the material. This can add to the cost and complexity of installation.

The name Gutter Ethics is spot on. Their serviceman was as unintrusive as he was courteous. He did a very professional job with my gutters and even leaf-blew my deck, actually leaving it nicer than it was before. Their system for payment, … More simply calling them after the service is done, is the best I have experienced. They have definitely earned my trust, and I plan to make them my first-contact for home related services in the future. I recommend them with enthusiasm!

Gutter Ethics is one of the most responsive and honest companies I have dealt with in a very long time. I called Gutter Ethics for assistance because of the wonderful reviews they received from previous customers and they have not disappointed … More me in the slightest. While the subject of roofing is way out of my comfort zone, Justin and Jon have been extremely patient with me and they have been extremely kind and respectful when explaining my roof repair needs. I am very Grateful and Blessed to have found Gutter Ethics and look forward to working with them on all my future roofing needs!

Gutter Ethics has been awesome! From the first phone call ,even still now. The team has been great communicators and helping every step of the way through the process. I called to have my gutters cleaned meanwhile, in between my appointment … More time ,I had a really bad leak in the roof and I called in the evening expecting to leave a message and I was able to speak with someone. I was reassured not to worry, that they would not only clean the gutters but inspect that leak. I was giving notifications throughout the process and after the job was done I was given all the information I needed about my roof and gutters. They really care. They were professional, thorough, courteous and friendly. I appreciated their services and time. I will remain a customer throughout the year. I highly recommend Gutter Ethics. 👌🏼

Gutter Ethics is an awesome company. The owner Justin Stanley really impressed me he was very polite and knows what he is doing. He had our roofs replaced with our insurance company through hail damage and because Justin is so knowledgeable … More it went very smoothly. We had two roofs replaced on our two homes with Gutter Ethics. Justin showed up before his crew got started to make sure everything went smoothly. The cleanup was amazing when they left you would never know we just had two roofs replaced. I would recommend Gutter Ethics highly to anyone.
