How much does a Slate Tile Roof cost?

Answer:
By far and away one of the most expensive roofing materials

available on the market, home owners hoping to install a slate tile roof can expect to pay a pretty penny for their beautiful roof. Installation of slate roof tile is not a job for the local handyman, as it requires a level of expertise and skill that goes beyond the average roofer.

Because of this, one might expect to pay as much as $10.00 per square foot, making a copper roof seem like a bargain. Much like a clay tile roof, additional supports will be necessary to help hold the weight of the slate tiles, which will add to the overall cost of the slate tile roof. And of course, if the home owner desires a more uniform color for their slate tile roof, expect to pay a color-matching fee of $1.00 to $2.00 per square foot to help compensate for the time it takes to hand match the colors of the tile.
