If your home, business or church has a slate roof, you have a major asset and may not even be aware of it. With today's prices for hand cut slate ranging from $4.00 to $8.00 each, you can quickly see the investment that is right over your head.

While slate roofs are very aesthetically pleasing, they are also a very functional roof being highly fireproof, as well as having a life expectancy in many cases of 150 to 400 years.
