Nice visit and gift from Orion Jenkins of Jenkins Slate Master on Friday January 19, 2018. The attention to detail, hours spent on this slate logo is appreciated and unbelievable!  Check out the time lapse YouTube video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?

Whether you are looking for a car mechanic, considering a new restaurant, vacation resort, new windows or new slate roof, we as consumers tend to look at google reviews, tripadvisor, yelp and Facebook to help with our decision. It’s nice to hear from home owners or long-time customers what they think about the product and service received.

Slate roof tiles are made of metamorphic rocks which are derived from sedimentary rock of volcanic ash and clay. The mineral composition of slate will determine the color and weathering properties. Hematite produces purple tones and chlorite produces green.  Black and gray colors are created by carbon.
