2
At some point, the roof on your home will need to
be replaced, depending upon the age of the home.
Some people also decide to update the exterior
appearance of their GTA homes with a new colour
of siding or exterior paint and at the same time,
want to get a new roof to put the finishing
touches on their home renovation project.

As you are shopping around for roofing materials,
you will quickly notice you have several options,
including slate and shingle roofs. There are key
differences between the two, which should be
taken into consideration, based on the aesthetic
you want to achieve, as well as you budget.

Appearance Slate is often considered the
better looking of the two roofing materials.
Slate is a higher quality material, and is
evident once it is installed on your home. Slate
roofs can also help increase the value of the
home.

5
Slate roofs can also help increase the value of
the home. Shingles, on the other hand, tend to
come in a wider range of colours. They are made
from roofing, so the finished product is a
roofing roof. However, in the end most people
tend to prefer slate over roofing.

6
Costs As you might expect, slate roofing
materials cost more than shingles. This is
largely due to slate being a superior roofing
product. Even though slate roofs have a higher
upfront investment, they last significantly
longer than roofing shingles.

7
There are some home with slate roofs more than a
hundred years old! With roofing shingles, they
typically last around twenty years, and have to
be replaced. Over the lifetime of the home, in
the long run, slate actually ends up costing less!

8
Weight Roofing shingles weigh less than slate
tiles. Since slate tiles weigh more, it is
essential to have a qualified roofing contractor
from Logik Roofing inspect your and verify the
existing roofing underlayment and frame is
capable of supporting the weight of the slate
tiles.

9
Both the underlayment and frame can be upgraded
to sturdier materials capable of supporting a
slate roof, if needed. Failing to get your roof
inspected could potentially lead to the roof
collapsing later, from the added weight of the
slate roofing materials.

10
Installation There are differences in how
roofing shingles and slate roofs are installed.
With roofing shingles, and the right size roofing
installation crew, most roofing projects can be
completed in a day, sometimes two.

With slate roofing, it is important to find a
roofing company, who specializes in this type of
roofing material, like Logik Roofing. The
installation process is a bit more detailed and
can take a little longer to completed, compared
to roofing shingles. Our residential roofing
installers and crews have been factory trained by
the manufacturers of the roofing materials
