Engineered slate and shake tiles made from polymers and composites that deliver the look of natural materials with lighter weight.
Synthetic slate and composite roofing tiles are molded to look like natural slate or cedar. They are lighter, often easier to handle and designed to resist rot, cracking and insects. Homeowners in Nashville choose them when they love the character of slate or shake but want a different weight, price or maintenance profile.
We start with a Free Estimate and bring samples so you can judge color variation and profile. We inspect the roof deck, install suitable underlayment and flashing, set the tiles following the manufacturer's layout, fastening and blending instructions and finish ridges and hips with matching accessories. We also explain how each product is rated for fire, impact and wind, and how it compares with natural materials. Ask us about care and repair as well as installation. Composite tiles are generally low maintenance, but debris should be kept off the surface and valleys, and damaged tiles should be replaced promptly. We keep notes on the product and color used, so future repairs match, and we provide the maker's care instructions at the end of the job.
Composite tiles imitate slate and shake without the structural demands of natural stone.
Tiles are installed from mixed bundles so the roof looks natural rather than uniform.
We explain fire, impact and wind ratings and what each product line states.
Metal valleys and wall flashings match the quality of the tiles above them.
