[quote=Anonymous]I had a house with a slate roof for years and loved it. I now live in a high end newer build with a synthetic roof with a 30 year warranty (looks like slate). The problem with the composite material is that it is very brittle and breaks or cracks if any workman have to stand on it. That makes cleaning the eaves harder, and any painting of the exterior roof areas/chimney work will result in further expenses to fix the roof. If you do go with a synthetic/composite material instead of slate, make sure you keep plenty of extra roof tiles stored somewhere. The companies change their materials over the years and you won't be able to get matching tiles after about 5-10 years. That is a serious pain in the ass.[/quote]
