Clay and concrete tile, natural slate and composite slate roofs installed.

Tile & Slate

What the job covers.

Tile and slate roofs belong to a certain kind of house, and North Texas has plenty of them: Mediterranean and Spanish-style homes under clay or concrete tile, and French country and Tudor-style homes under slate. Both materials can last for generations. Both also punish shortcuts, because they are heavy, brittle underfoot and only as good as what lies beneath them.

Clay tile is fired and holds its color for decades. Concrete tile costs less and weighs more. Both shed water well, but the tile itself is rarely what fails first. The underlayment under a tile roof does the waterproofing, so what goes down before the tile matters as much as the tile itself.

The Difference

Before you decide.

Natural slate is split stone and can outlast the house. It is also very heavy, so the framing has to be checked before a slate roof goes on a home that was not built for one. Composite slate, made from polymer or rubber blends, gives much of the look at a fraction of the weight and holds up well to hail, which makes it a common choice on larger homes in Southlake.

Hail is the other concern. Large hail cracks clay tile and can break slate, and the damage is not always visible from the ground. After a storm, a tile or slate roof deserves the same close inspection as any shingle roof, and damage is commonly covered the same way.

We install clay and concrete tile, natural slate and composite slate roofs.

Before You Call

Tile & Slate, answered.

How long does a tile roof last?

The tile itself can last fifty years or more. The underlayment beneath it usually needs replacing sooner, often after twenty to thirty years.

Is composite slate as good as real slate?

It does not last as long as natural slate, but it weighs far less, costs less and resists hail well, which suits many North Texas homes.

Can my house carry a slate or tile roof?

Many can, but the framing should be checked first, especially when switching from shingles to natural slate or concrete tile.
