Synthetic Slate & Shake Roofing In Springfield, MO

Synthetic slate and shake cost more than shingles and less than real slate. Most installed jobs land around $900 to $1,500 per square (100 square feet of roof), depending on the brand, the profile, and how steep and cut-up your roof is. We measure your roof at a free inspection and give you an exact, line-by-line price. Financing is available.

Not the good ones. The brands we install mold their shakes and slates from real cedar and stone, with varied widths and thick, uneven edges, so the roof has the same depth and shadow lines as the original. We bring full-size samples to your home so you can see them in daylight next to your brick or stone before you decide.

They are built differently. EuroShield is made mostly from recycled tire rubber and leads on hail, with HP lines warrantied against hail of any size for 20 years. Brava and DaVinci are polymer composites that can reach a Class A fire rating and offer a wider range of slate, shake and tile looks. We will show you both and help you pick the one that fits your home and your priorities.

Almost never. Synthetic slate and shake weigh about 240 to 360 pounds per roofing square, close to a heavy architectural shingle and a fraction of the 800 pounds or more real slate weighs. We check your decking and framing during the inspection to be sure.

Possibly. Many insurers give a discount for a Class 4 impact-rated roof, but Missouri does not require one, and some carriers leave certain synthetic materials out. Ask your agent before you pick a product. We provide the product and Class 4 rating paperwork your insurer will want once the roof is done.

Synthetic roofs are built to last decades. The brands we install back their materials with 50-year to limited lifetime warranties, and most of those warranties can transfer to the next owner if you sell. The workmanship is backed by Titan’s lifetime workmanship warranty.

Yes. Unlike real slate or clay tile, synthetic products do not crack under normal foot traffic, so getting on the roof to clean gutters or service a vent is not a risk to the roof. Each manufacturer has its own guidance, and we will walk you through it.

Usually, and often more easily than a standard shingle, because many neighborhoods want a shake or slate look. We give you samples, color names and spec sheets to submit with your request so the board has everything it needs.
