The "Hundred-Year" Roof. Nature’s Ultimate Shield.
That desire for a roof that defines luxury and architectural excellence. That need for a material that is completely fireproof and unaffected by extreme temperature swings. The peace of mind that comes from a natural stone defense that has been the standard for elite properties for centuries.
Slate roofing is composed of metamorphic rock, hand-split into thin, incredibly dense slabs. It is widely considered the finest roofing material in the world because it is entirely natural, waterproof, and non-combustible. Unlike synthetic alternatives, genuine slate does not warp, rot, or fade, providing a level of structural defense that can outlast the building itself.
At Achilles Roofing & Exteriors, we specialize in the meticulous craft of Slate Roofing. Because slate is a heavy, rigid material, installation requires specialized tools and expert knowledge of traditional slating techniques. We focus on the precision of the copper flashing and high-grade underlayments to ensure your stone roof performs flawlessly, all backed by our 5-year workmanship warranty.
Key Benefit List
- Natural Stone Beauty that Never Fades or Warps
- Highest Fire Resistance Rating (Non-Combustible)
- Exceptional Resistance to Hail and Wind-Driven Rain
- Extremely Low Maintenance and Long-Term Ownership Cost

A traditional method using larger, thicker slates at the eaves and smaller, thinner slates near the ridge.
We exclusively use copper for valleys, chimneys, and drip edges because it matches the longevity of the slate.

Great price · $2,000–4,000
To cool down my attic, I decided to install a solar attic fan. I got proposals from four different vendors and evaluated them based on customer service, experience, implementation, and price. Achilles Roofing & Exteriors, led by Ahmad Faiz, was the standout choice.

Quick turnaround on some roof repairs we needed for the sale of our home. Everything was documented on the invoice and with photos. Very professional.
Great job on my Atrium cover. Used them before for my roof. Well done and very reasonable.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is my house strong enough for a slate roof?
Natural stone is heavy. We perform a free structural load verification to determine if your framing requires reinforcement before we start. Call us for a structural review.
Why is copper used with slate roofs?
Standard galvanized metal will rust long before the slate wears out. We use copper to ensure the flashing matches the slate’s performance for maximum asset protection.
Can slate roofs be repaired?
Yes. Using a “slate ripper” and specialized hooks, we can replace individual broken slates without disturbing the rest of the roof for a cost-effective repair. Contact us for specialized slate roof repairs.
How does slate handle extreme heat?
Slate is a natural insulator with high thermal mass, keeping your attic cooler in the summer and leading to guaranteed savings on energy.
Is a slate roof a good investment?
While the initial cost is higher, its extreme durability and low maintenance make it the best value over time, providing a reliable defense for generations.
