Devonshire®: The Quieter Slate Look
Where Berkshire® goes for a rugged, hand-cut slate character, Devonshire delivers a smoother, more uniform slate appearance — the restrained look that suits Victorian, Colonial, Tudor, and traditional brick homes without competing with the architecture.
- Smooth, uniform slate-tile appearance
- Subtle tonal color blends rather than high-contrast variation
- Wind resistance up to 130 mph when installed to specification
- Standard asphalt weight — no structural reinforcement needed
- Limited lifetime manufacturer warranty for qualifying homeowners
Best Fit on the Front Range
We recommend Devonshire most often for Longmont’s Old Town and West Side historic blocks, Boulder’s Mapleton Hill and Whittier neighborhoods, Louisville and Lafayette’s original miners’ housing, and Erie’s Old Town around Briggs Street — anywhere a loud, high-contrast roof would fight the house.
If your property sits in a historic overlay district, we’ll help you confirm the color and profile meet review requirements before ordering material.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a Devonshire roof cost installed?
Designer lines run about $1,000 per square installed in the Longmont/Boulder market for 2026 — roughly $25,000 on a 25-square home. Historic homes often need decking repair beneath old layered roofing, which we inspect and price up front.
Is Devonshire suitable for a century-old house?
Yes, and it’s a common choice. The key on old homes isn’t the shingle — it’s what’s underneath. We strip to the deck, replace compromised plank sheathing, and rebuild the assembly to current code. On a hail claim, insurance funds that work.
Devonshire or Berkshire?
Purely aesthetic. Devonshire reads smoother and more formal; Berkshire reads more textured and rustic. We’ll bring physical samples to your home so you can see both against your actual siding and trim in daylight.
