In financial accounting, the balance sheet and income statement are the two most important types of financial statements (others being cash flow statement, and the statement of retained earnings).
(Tip: When you're paying this much for the material, you want a slate specialist to install it.) All told, the cost of installing a slate roof can range from about $1,500 to over $5,000 per square. On a 30-square (3,000 square-foot) roof, that's a price tag of $45,000 to $150,000 for the whole job. Now, back to the question of affordability, or more precisely, relative affordability.
As youâd expect, material and installation costs vary by region and roofing company. On average, though, you can expect an asphalt shingle roof to cost between $1.50 and $4.00 per installed square foot, while composite slate ranges from $4.50 to $7.00 per installed square foot (about half the price of natural slate).
