Slate Roofing in Sherwood, Arkansas
Slate is the premium roof. On the custom homes and the historic-style builds around Pulaski County, it brings a look that lasts a lifetime. Slate roofing in Sherwood means a roof that outlasts the house below it.
Why Slate Works for Premium Homes
- Look — the natural stone profile is unmatched
- Longevity — natural slate lasts 75 to 100 years
- Fire resistance — slate is stone, it does not burn
- Heat resistance — the stone blocks the Arkansas sun
- Value — a slate roof is a selling point for the home
Slate Options for Sherwood Homes
- Natural slate — quarried stone, the original, 75 to 100 years
- Synthetic slate — polymer or rubber, the lighter alternative
- Slate-look metal — metal panels that mimic the slate profile
- Slate repair — replacing a cracked tile on an existing slate roof
How We Install Slate Roofs in Sherwood
- Inspect the structure — confirm the framing can carry the slate
- Install the underlayment — the moisture barrier, multiple layers
- Lay the slate — nail each tile, overlap the courses
- Flash the penetrations — the valleys, vents, and ridges sealed
- Finish the ridge — the ridge tiles that cap the roof

Maintaining a Slate Roof in Sherwood
