No other roof is as unique, elegant and long-lasting as a Greenstone genuine Vermont slate roof! Slate has been acclaimed for generations as the ultimate roofing material. Slate is natural stone with a remarkable property: it can be split into thin tiles of uniform thickness. This, along with a natural aesthetic appeal is what has made slate the most desirable roofing material for more than a thousand years!
A Vermont slate roof, since it is stone, simply has no equal in durability. Slate's natural beauty sets it apart from any other roofing material-each slate roof has a unique and exclusive character of its own. You can enhance the aesthetic appearance of nearly any building with the wide variety of rich natural slate colors and slate textures that can be combined in nearly endless combinations.

The Greenstone Slate Company has 58 quarries in what is known the world over as the Slate Valley of Vermont. The Slate Valley is famous for its very high quality slate. The slate is removed from the ground, cut with diamond tipped saws and then hand split by Greenstone trained craftsmen. Then it is trimmed and drilled (or punched) to create roofing slates.
