Slate roofing has been trusted for centuries for its strength and aesthetic appeal. Made from natural stone or advanced composites, slate shingles are known for their exceptional performance and luxurious appearance. Here’s why homeowners and contractors alike choose slate:
According to the National Park Service, slate is considered one of the most enduring and historically appropriate roofing materials for restoration projects due to its natural resistance to weathering and architectural authenticity.
Quarried slate tiles are split from real stone and offer unmatched authenticity and texture. They are inherently resistant to moisture, mold, insects, and UV damage. Their weight and durability make them ideal for custom homes and the restoration of historic properties. However, installation requires an experienced team and proper framing support.
Made from engineered polymers, rubber, or recycled materials, synthetic slate mimics the look of real stone at a fraction of the weight. Brands like DaVinci Roofscapes and Brava produce composite slate shingles with Class 4 impact ratings, Class A fire resistance, and warranties of up to 50 years. They’re lightweight, easy to install, and often more affordable than natural stone.
We offer full-service solutions for slate roofing projects of all sizes. Our experienced residential roofing team specializes in slate work, ensuring your roof performs and looks its best.
Slate roofing is known for its natural color variations and timeless style. Whether you’re restoring a farmhouse or designing a modern cabin, there’s a slate option to match.

Summary: Color and style flexibility make slate roofing ideal for custom designs and architectural statement pieces.
Composite slate shingles are engineered to replicate the shape, color, and texture of quarried slate without the weight. These modern roofing solutions provide exceptional durability and visual appeal while reducing the structural load.
Key Advantages:
Composite slate is an excellent option for homeowners seeking the charm of slate with fewer structural concerns and lower upfront investment. Composite slate roofing provides elegance and protection at a price point and weight that suits most modern homes.

Heritage Roofing is a very professional company. Our liaison, Jasper was do friendly, understanding and helpful throughout the whole process. His knowledge of roofing, insurance, scheduling, materials and options was vast and he took his time to explain every detail. I don’t think I have ever felt as secure about a home project before. Give them a call, they will take care of you!
Heritage Roofing & Repair did an excellent job on our roof. Cade was our Project Manager for our roof replacement. Top 3 things we loved: 1) Friendly and professional service 2) Quick and responsive communication 3) Reliable, efficient workmanship.
Heritage Roofing & Repair was incredibly punctual and professional. The crew arrived on time, explained the roof repair process clearly, and completed the work quickly and reliably. They were friendly, easy to talk to, and the pricing was fair. I found them while searching for roof repair near me and would definitely use them again for any roofing services.
Appreciated working with a Hometown business. Very good workers & quality product. Happy with the one day removal of 2 layers of old shingles & look of new shingles. Clean-up was very good.
Rex and his team are great, on time and always available to help. They put our roof on in one day! I had questions about our roof and they sent someone the next day.
Cade was very helpful, answered all my questions, and was great throughout the whole process!
Had some wind and hail damage to our roof in 2023. We got a 3 different quotes, one too high and one too low. We went with Heritage because their price was just about what the insurance company quoted. Cade and Rex were supper great to work with and very…
…quick to respond to any questions or issues we had. Their team was very quick to tear off nearly 4000 sq ft of roof and have it reshingled in about 2 days. I highly recommend them and have done so to several friends and family that are just as pleased as I am with their work. After nearly a year and a half, we have had zero issues.
Cade was a delight to work with. He was professional and very knowledgeable about the installation process and the products used. I learned that there is a lot that goes into a roof installation. Cade made sure I understood what to expect throughout the process. I highly recommend Heritage Roofing & Repair.
When I called Heritage Roofing about getting a new roof. They sent out their salesman, Gavin Pannell, he did a great job of explaining all aspects of the products they use and how the work would be done. When the workers came, they did the roof in two days. They did a great job! I am very happy with the outcome. My house looks so good!
After hail damage,, Heritage replaced our roof with a metal one, which is stunning. Great team to work with, particularly Gavin. Highly recommend.
Great company to do business with! Very responsive and quality work.
My roof had wind damage and needed to be replaced. I contacted Heritage Roofing to get an estimate for a new roof. Cade contacted me to set up appointment to look at my roof. The price was reasonable and the turn around was good. The crew was top notch and finished the project in one day. I highly recommend Heritage roofing. It was a good choice.
We had shingles off our roof and when we had adjuster look at it we found several issues requiring a great deal of work. Heritage has done a fantastic job putting in new layers and a making our house look great.
They changed out the roof on my house and shed in one day pick up all the nails and did a wonderful job. I highly recommend him.
I cannot say enough good things about Heritage Roofing and Repair and Cade Chappelle. My roof was damaged in a hail storm and I had to have a it replaced. I could not have done it without the support of friends and the help of Cade Chappelle, project…
…manager at Heritage Roofing & Repair.
From the first day I met Cade, I was so impressed with his outstanding character and knowledge. He guided me every step of the way! And the crew that installed my roof were so hardworking and professional! I am very pleased with the job from the initial inspection to the final installation.
If you need help with your roof don’t hesitate to give Cade and Heritage Roofing and Repair a call.
Very Professional ! They did a great job. My husband & I are disabled seniors. We live in the Branson Mo. area. Cade Chappelle the project manager was fantastic !!! He helped us deal with our insurance company, by sending pictures for us and estimates,…
…also got up on the roof when the insurance adjuster was here and made sure he didn't miss any of the hail damage, not only to our roof, but the gutters and our siding too. Plus 2 other out buildings. Cade kept in touch with & sent all the info our insurance company; which was based in Texas asked for. It helped us get the maximum recovery for our home. It took so much stress off us, cause we are not tech savvy and things were all done online. Knowing Cade was handling things, made the whole process so much easier for us ! The workmen that actually took off the old roof & put the new one on, were very professional and fast. They did a great clean up of the yard when they were done ! Our neighbor used Heritage too, and was very pleased also. Kenneth & Elaine Peters
Heritage Roofing did a wonderful job for us. Had hail damage and full roof replacement. They were fast, reliable and left everything the way they found it. Cleaned up every nail and such. I will definitely call them again for all our roofing needs. They were one of the lowest bids too. So great value and customer service for the price.
These folks did a great job with our shingled house. Did it in one day! Would definitely use them again
I worked with Cade Chappelle, with Heritage! I tell ya what, if I could just replicate this guy and deal with him on all large projects/purchases. Top notch communication, professional, courteous, and just a good dude. Not enough adjectives to do this company…
…justice. Cade understood sometimes unfortunate things happen in life that can be stressful. In this case having to replace my roof. He literally took care of everything for me, and followed up multiple times to ensure I was satisfied. From the time their crew started to finish was less than 48 hours. My roof, yard, and flower beds were all in better shape when they left as to when they arrived. Been a long time since I have felt valued as a customer, give Heritage a chance and ask for Cade. I don’t think you will be disappointed.
Michael was extremely professional and guided me through the process of filing a claim with my insurance. I would highly recommend Michael and Heritage Roofing to anyone needing a new roof.
They're extremely responsive and did everything they said they would do. We had a terrible experience with a company by the name of over the top roofing out of Springfield, and it was nothing like that. These guys stuck to their word and did a great job. I would recommend them highly.
Great experience! Roofers were concerned with doing a great job.
Excellent company. Fair price. Quality work. Would definitely recommend them.
I was approached by someone wanting to check my roof out from Heritage Roofing. I explained to them I already had it inspected with my insurance and someone insurance hired, and it’s good. They asked if they could still verify it’s good, because a lot of the…
…times insurance doesn’t fully check. I was hestitant, because I don’t (or didn’t*) trust roofing companies, but said, “sure, why not!”. After they were done inspecting it, I just knew they were going to come with a ton of issues and tell me I need a new roof. The 2 guys got finished, and they told me my roof is in great condition and I don’t need one right now. I didn’t actually use them for a new roof, but I 100% will whenever I need a new one. They are honest, and you can actually trust them to tell the truth! Glad I found them! Honesty + Roofing companies are hard to come by! So glad he stopped by.
We definitely would recommend Heritage Roofing and Repair. Our home was hit by a huge storm and Rex was able to work with our general contractor so that our roof could be replaced in an organized fashion along with our other repairs. He also trusted our…
…insurance company and worked within their estimate. His crew worked quickly and efficiently to get the roof repaired. They did a very nice cleanup job too. Rex was also very good at answering texts, emails, and phone calls. And best of all, the roof looked amazing when it was finished!
I'd made numerous phone calls trying to find help having developed some leaks in a 16 year old metal roof. These folks responded where others couldn't or wouldn't. They are knowledgeable and work hard filling a much needed niche in this area at a fair price.
Wouldn't hesitate to give them a call.
Love love love the job they did. Fast, courteous, and thorough.
Rex and his team were amazing to work with.. They did an amazing and timely job! Super easy to work with!
Rex was polite and knowledgeable about our roofs repair and shingling need. He quickly worked us in his schedule because of damage. Heritage crew was fast, efficient and friendly. Clean up was excellent. Price was very fair. Would recommend Heritage Roofing.
Great company! Rex went the extra mile to find and install skylights for us. Crew was professional and did a terrific job with install and cleanup. Highly recommend Heritage Roofing!
Excellent work. Even more important, outstanding character, displaying honesty, integrity, with great follow through.
Rex and his crew where very productive and helpful. They did a wonderful job on our roof and we would recommend them to anyone. Thank you for a wonderful job.
Slate roofs aren’t for every home, but when it’s the right fit, few materials compare. Here’s what to consider:
Summary: Evaluate your roof structure, long-term goals, and aesthetic preferences to determine the best slate roofing system for your home.
A 2024 report from the Arkansas Energy Office noted a 22% increase in installations of sustainable and impact-resistant roofing materials across the state. This shift is driven by rising insurance premiums, frequent hailstorms, and extreme heat days, making long-life solutions like slate more attractive.
In Boone County specifically, over 30% of recent residential roof replacements were premium materials such as composite slate, metal, and clay tiles, showcasing the growing demand for durability and style.
Summary: Arkansas homeowners are investing more in roofing systems that offer energy savings, weather resistance, and long-term value.

Natural slate roofs can last 75 to over 100 years with proper installation and occasional maintenance. In Arkansas, where severe weather and seasonal temperature swings are common, composite slate is also popular and lasts 40–50 years, while resisting hail, humidity, and UV damage.
Yes. Both natural and composite slate offer Class 4 impact resistance, making them ideal for hail and debris. Composite slate also performs well in wind gusts over 110 mph, which is essential in the stormy spring and summer months across Boone, Carroll, and Newton Counties.
Natural slate is very heavy, up to 10 pounds per square foot, which means your roof decking must be reinforced. However, composite slate is much lighter and can usually be installed on existing roof structures. Our team will inspect your home and recommend the right type during a free consultation.
Slate is a premium roofing material: Natural slate: $15–$25+ per square foot installed Composite slate: $9–$12 per square foot installed Asphalt shingles: $3.50–$5.50 per square foot installed While more expensive upfront, slate roofs often outlast two or three shingle roofs, making them a better investment long-term.
Slate roofing is highly repairable. If just a few tiles are cracked, slipped, or missing, we can replace those individually without disturbing the rest of your roof. We offer slate roof repair services throughout Berryville, Harrison, and Fayetteville.
No, but it’s engineered to look like real slate. Composite slate is made from recycled polymers or rubber and mimics the shape, texture, and color of natural stone. Brands like DaVinci and Brava offer long warranties, and their products are approved by most insurance carriers for high-impact zones.
