Typically slate roofing requires the roof to withstand a heavy load and not all roofs are suited to it. similarly due to the unique nature of slate, it was always an expensive roofing option. With GAF’s new TruSlate product, these downfalls are mostly eliminated. The TruSlate product is REAL slate, but it is less is much thinner than traditional slate tiles. It also has a nifty snap-in installation. What you get is a uniform slate look with less material and less weight while also saving on installation costs because it is so much easier for us.

If you’ve always wanted slate but never thought you could afford it, now’s the time to give us a ring.

On a related note, Joe Bauman has successfully completed the “Advanced TruSlate Installation Techniques” course from The Center for the Advancement of Roofing Excellence, sponsored by GAF ELK.
