Slate shingles by GAF
Slate color shingles deliver timeless, sophisticated elegance
Slate color shingles are one of our most appealing colors, chosen for their cool gray base with a beautiful green undertone. On their own, Slate color shingles provide a distinct, sophisticated elegance. Yet, they complement almost any home, coordinating wonderfully with both grays and greens, as well as with white, cream, and ivory exteriors. And, because of their timeless aesthetic, Slate color shingles not only improve curb appeal — they may also increase resale value.

What our customers have to say
We replaced our roof this month with GAF Timberline UHDZ and it looks great! We chose the Slate color and couldn’t be more pleased.
Homeowner, Mar. 2024
We replaced our roof which was damaged in a hurricane with a Timberline HDZ slate roof with the ridge vent system. We chose these shingles for their wind resistance and manufacturer's warranty. I didn't realize how much better the house would look with a new roof! I'm glad I have a new roof that will last a lifetime.
Homeowner, May 2022
They stand out beautifully on our cape-cod style brick house. The Timberline HD shingles with a GAF Golden Pledge warranty is well worth the additional cost and can be transferred to another owner should we choose to downsize. Also these shingles will not discolor over time like our older shingles did.
