When you have an older home, it can be a bit difficult to make repairs and remodels that work for the current condition it is in and match the aesthetic that has been preserved for so many years. So when it comes to replacing your roof, you need to choose a material and style carefully. 

As you weigh your options, consider choosing a slate roof. In fact, they offer a number of benefits that can aid your older home.

Benefits of a Slate Roof for Older Homes

They Come in a Variety of Styles

Slate materials offer a wide range of colors and thicknesses, allowing for great customization. Since there are many style options to choose from, you can decide on one that perfectly matches your home’s aesthetic — so that you don’t have to sacrifice form for function.

They are Environmentally-Friendly

Since slate roofs tend to last longer than those that use other materials,  your new roof won’t have to be replaced as often. Additionally, this helps keep the old materials out of landfills — which is fantastic for the environment. Plus, since some older homes tend to use more energy and aren’t too green, adding this environmentally-friendly factor can make you a friend to Mother Nature.

They Last Longer

As we mentioned, slate materials typically have a longer lifespan than shingles do. With this being the case, you can focus on making other repairs in your older home and rest easy knowing that your roof is protecting your older home for years to come.
