Slate Roofing in Utah

Slate roofing represents the pinnacle of residential roofing — unmatched in beauty, durability, and longevity. A properly installed slate roof can last 75–100+ years, making it a true lifetime investment. Shelley Construction Roofing specializes in both natural slate and composite slate installations for Utah homeowners who demand the best.

Utah's climate is actually well-suited for slate roofing. The material's density and impermeability make it naturally resistant to freeze-thaw damage, while its weight provides excellent wind resistance — important for Utah's canyon winds and microburst events. Our composite slate options add Class 4 impact resistance for hail protection.

Whether you're building a new custom home, replacing an aging roof on a historic property, or upgrading to a premium material that will outlast every other option, our experienced team delivers expert slate installation with meticulous attention to detail.

01

Structural Assessment

Slate is heavy. We assess your roof structure to ensure it can support the weight, and recommend reinforcement if needed.

02

Material Selection

Choose from natural slate (quarried stone), composite slate (engineered polymer), or DaVinci Roofscapes products. We help match the right product to your home and budget.

03

Expert Installation

Slate requires specialized installation techniques. Our trained crew installs each piece with proper fasteners, overlap, and flashing for maximum longevity.

04

Final Inspection

Thorough quality check ensures every piece is properly secured and aligned. Your warranty is registered and documentation provided.

Natural Quarried Slate

Genuine stone slate quarried from Vermont, Pennsylvania, or Virginia. 75–100+ year lifespan. Heaviest option requiring structural verification. Unmatched natural beauty.
