Built for the Desert, Crafted for a Lifetime

Natural slate tiles are fireproof, weather-resistant, and rated to last over 100 years

—even in Arizona’s extreme climate. Unlike shingles or metal that expand and contract aggressively under high heat, slate stays dimensionally stable. It won’t melt, warp, or crack under triple-digit temperatures or harsh UV rays.


And when monsoon season hits? Slate holds its own against 60+ mph winds, debris impact, and heavy rain. No synthetic roofing can match its density or resistance to breakage once properly installed.

Elegance That Lasts Decades

Slate roofing instantly elevates curb appeal with its luxurious, textured surface and rich natural colors. Whether you’re restoring a historic bungalow in West Mesa, building a Spanish-style villa in Las Sendas, or upgrading your home’s resale value in Eastmark, slate offers unmatched beauty and durability.


Choose from a wide variety of styles:

- Traditional Vermont Grey
- Charcoal Black
- Rustic Purple or Green Slate
- Mottled or Mixed Hues for Custom Patterns


Every tile is hand-split and unique, creating a one-of-a-kind roof that never goes out of style.

Water Infiltration or Underlayment Decay

Slate roofs should breathe while staying watertight. If moisture gets under the tiles—often due to degraded underlayment or flashing—you’ll see leaks, ceiling stains, or attic mold. We replace worn-out felts or synthetic barriers with breathable, waterproof underlayments suited for desert heat.

Poor Installation or Inexperienced Contractors

Slate requires specialized installation techniques. If your original roofer used short nails, soft nails, or applied tiles too tightly, your slate may crack prematurely. We’ll assess the installation quality and correct mistakes using time-tested methods that comply with Mesa’s building codes.

Home emergencies are inherently overwhelming and all consuming. Often times you really aren't sure where to start and who to trust. After starting with a few other companies I opted to give Jonnel and Jacob a shot...I am glad I did.

-Daniel D.

We tried getting our roof done awhile ago. Insurance was a no go. Recently, we met Jonnel and Jacob, they were awesome. We got approved to get our roof done. Although, there were many speed bumps with the insurance throughout the whole process, these guys kept by our side.

-Shannon S.

Quality roofing in a timely manor was promised and these guys made it happen! I can’t believe how nice the roof looks and the color is gorgeous (hickory color). The entire process was super smooth and the roofing crew were very informative throughout the entire process.
