Slate Roofing Contractors for Custom & Historic Projects
Slate is among the most visually distinctive roofing materials available. Because of its natural variation in color and texture, no two slate roofs are alike – a characteristic that contributes to its lasting architectural appeal.
Slate is also known for its longevity. Properly installed slate roofs can last 75 to 100 years, frequently outlasting the structures beneath them.
At Huber & Associates, we have specialized in slate roofing installation, restoration, and repair since 1976. Our slate roofing company works on historic landmarks, estates, and custom homes across the country and abroad.
Whether for a new installation or restoring a historic roof, every project is handled with the highest standards of quality and authenticity. Reach out to schedule a consultation.
