"PPromptly offered a thorough, accurate and reasonable estimate for the roof. Despite weather fluctuations and the holidays, they were out almost every day, going through the long process of stripping off the old slate on a 3 story house. Kept me informed of their progress, took care of tenants' concerns and did a fantastic job on the roof. Hope to use them for the next job.

"The crew was very professional and did the work quickly. Nolan did a great job explaining the process to us and made us feel very comfortable in navigating the roof replacement. We had a lot of fun with him and the roof was installed quickly and in a timely fashion."

"Our old house on the Northside of Pittsburgh was in need of an exterior facelift and a new front porch to replace the one that had collapsed. I met with Dave LaBovick of Exceptional Exteriors and we agreed upon a price, which my wife and I found quite reasonable. The work on the vinyl siding began about a week later and took only a half a day to wrap up. The job was done to our complete satisfaction, The before and after is like night and day. Another crew arrived a few days later to do the porch and sidewalk. They began work on a Thursday afternoon and were finished 24 hours later. Once again, we are very happy with the result. In both cases, they removed all debris and left-over building materials associated with the job. We are not only completely satisfied with the work that Exceptional Exteriors did for us, we are looking forward to hiring them again for our next home project."

"Our house was built in 1941. It is a two-story red brick house that was coated in at least eight layers of white lead-based paint.  At the time that we bought the house, it was in a state of disrepair. The paint was peeling off in places.  The woodwork was falling apart. The wood on our screened porch needed to be replaced and the porch needed to be rescreened.  The entire house and a detached structure/shed either needed to be painted or to have the paint removed from the bricks and the woodwork and trim repainted.  
My husband and I were torn between repainting the entire house or stripping the brick and repainting only the trim and woodwork.  We knew that if we striped the brick, we wanted to have a very specific strip and peel product used on the house.  We did not want to have the house sandblasted.  
We solicited bids on both projects from at least three different companies. Ultimate Custom Painting's bids on both projects (repainting the entire house or striping the brick and repainting just the trim and woodwork) were higher than all of the other companies.  In spite of this fact, we decided to hire Ultimate Custom Painting to remove all of the paint from the brick using a peel and strip method, repaint all of the trim and woodwork, and paint and rescreen the porch.  The striping and painting was also done to a detached shed.  Our decision was based on a few factors.  First, after talking to Rick, I felt that he most clearly understood the project and the result that we were looking for.  Additionally, Rick also seem to be the only painter who had extensive experience using this particular peel and strip product on a project of this size and scope.  Finally,  we liked the fact that Ultimate Custom Painting is EPA-certified to deal with lead-based paint.  We decided that the extra expense was more than justified by the expertise and the quality of the work that we anticipated receiving from Ultimate Custom Painting.  We were not disappointed.
Ultimate Custom Painting's crew spent 3 to 4 weeks working on the exterior of our house. The project involved applying the peel and strip product to all of the brick, letting it sit for 24 hours, and then removing the product and the underlying paint. Once the brick was done, the trim was replaced or repaired  as needed and then painted.  Finally, the screened porch needed to be repaired, painted, and rescreened.  
All striping and painting was completed beautifully.  The house looks amazing.  The crew took great pains to ensure that the application was even and consistent across the entire house. The woodwork was done beautifully.  Old shutters that had numerous layers of paint on them were each individually stripped, primed and repainted. They look like new.  The woodwork that needed to be repaired or replaced was done and then it was primed and painted.  Overall, the house looks amazing and we are constantly receiving compliments from neighbors and from people passing through the neighborhood.
The crew that worked on our house was great.  The communication was fantastic.  They never made any assumptions about what I might or might not want. Anytime a decision had to be made I was consulted.  I always knew when they were going to be working and what they would be doing.  
My only negative experience with the entire project involved the carpentry work on the screened porch.  The carpenter that was used on this project was not nearly as skilled as the painters.  The work on the porch was shabby compared to the 
work that Ultimate Custom Painting was doing on the rest of the house and compared to what other painting companies had told me that their carpenters would do.  For example, when the carpenter rescreened the porch he used nails that were too long and went through the walls of the porch.  His solution to this was to cut off all the nails on the inside of the porch and leave sharp metal edges over the entire interior of the porch.  When the painting crew discovered this, they did everything possible to remedy the situation including filling the holes with caulking and repainting places that were showing through.  Additionally, small pieces of decorative woodwork that should have been repaired and replaced on the porch were left off altogether.  Finally, I had a wood picnic table on the porch that was used as a work surface during the project.  This didn't bother me until the house was finished and everyone had left.  I then discovered more than six 2-inch wood screws that had been screwed down into the top of my table.  While my picnic table is not aesthetically the most beautiful table out there, it held great sentimental value to me.  I was upset to see that anything had been screwed into it without my being notified ahead of time.  More importantly, the screws had been left there for me to remove.
While I would never hesitate to use Ultimate Custom Painting again and I recommend them to to anyone who asks for a painting company, in the future I will request that a different carpenter be used or hire my own carpenter for the woodwork repairs.  Overall though, I cannot speak highly enough of this company and the work that they did.  This was an incredibly difficult project with many unknowns at the outset.  The crew handled it beautifully and my husband and I now have a exterior of our house that we love every time we enter the driveway."

"Overall it went well. Ian James was great throughout the entire process!! He was very good at explaining the process and answering all questions. He showed us all materials being used, explained quality & choices and was NEVER pushy. He often had to explain things in different ways so that I was following along, he always did so without any issues. He treated me like he would his mom. He was very knowledgeable on the product & the business. I like that the business is locally owned & by a veteran no less. Ian, who was my initial contact throughout the process was great as were others whom I came into contact with employed by the company, including the man dropping off supplies and Dumpster. James who helped deal with my insurance company was awesome as well. My only issues were with the non-English speaking installation staff-subcontractors. My other issues dealt with no one in "charge" on sight to deal with any issues/problems questions that arose during installation. The workers were not impolite, just didn't speak english & didn't want to be bothered. They worked fast, did excellent work and used great materials. My roof looks great!! However, my big complaint is that there is no one on sight to manage the crew. This is an issue with most companies who use subcontractors, whether they speak English or not. But with them all either not speaking any English or very broken English, it was very hard to communicate issues when they arose. Ian took my calls and listened to my issues, but he isn't the one who is supposed to be on site & often couldn't get a hold of anyone who was supposed to be on site. If anyone came on site, they didn't introduce themselves or aknowledge who they were. An employee of the company should be on site to deal with any issues that arise and communicate between subcontractors & client, at a minimum of beginning, middle and especially end of project being finished. And I as homeowner should know how to contact them. Ian was always great and tried to answer any questions I had, but honestly that job should have fallen on site employee. Another issue was cleaning up during and after roof was being installed. It was a windy day, but there were 9-10 men on the roof, someone could have gotten down to clear up debris at intervals. Nails left in driveway & debris all over our lawn after they left. We have small puppy so our yard was dangerous for days. I just found debris in yard today, several months after the fact. My husband & I had to do a lot of the clean up due to wanting puppy to be safe. So to conclude.. Ian was great, Roof installed was beautiful and quality workmanship/products. The installation staff was subpar as far as communication, cleanliness and accountablity. I got a great roof installed with quality products. I am overall happy with our roof! Ian took down all my complaints and said he would express those complaints to his boss."

FAQs for natural slate roofing installation and replacement projects in Aliquippa, PA

A slate roof features thin tiles of natural stone installed over a solid deck and underlayment. Formed under intense heat and pressure, slate is exceptionally durable and delivers a distinctive, high-end look. Because the material weighs far more than asphalt, most homes need added structural support before installation. 

While upfront costs are higher and routine inspections are a must, many homeowners choose slate for its unmatched longevity and curb appeal.

Slate stands out for its 50- to 200-year life span, low maintenance, and classic aesthetic. It’s fire-resistant, energy-efficient, and often boosts resale value. 

On the flip side, slate runs far more per square foot than asphalt, weighs up to four times as much, and demands a contractor who specializes in the material. Tiles can crack on impact, and repairs cost more because the work is slow and precise. If your budget and structure can handle it, slate delivers top-tier performance for generations.

Natural and synthetic slate aim for a premium, stone-like appearance, whereas asphalt focuses on affordability. Real slate runs $10 to $30 per square foot installed and lasts up to 200 years; synthetic slate costs $10 to $15 and tops out at 50 to 100 years. 

Standard asphalt averages $3 to $8 per square foot and needs replacement every 20 to 30 years. If you want the slate look without the full price tag—or extra roof weight—synthetic is a solid middle ground.

With routine inspections and prompt repairs, a natural slate roof can last well beyond 100 years; some hard-slate installations reach the 200-year mark. Soft slate falls in the 50- to 125-year range, and synthetic products last 50 to 100 years. 

Remember, flashing, fasteners, and the underlying structure may need attention sooner than the stone itself. Severe hail or fallen limbs can also shorten life span, so schedule periodic checkups with a slate-qualified roofer.

If you plan to stay in your home long term—or want a standout selling point—slate delivers strong value. Although installation costs are high, owners often recoup 60% to 70% at resale and enjoy lower replacement cycles than asphalt. The stone’s durability, energy efficiency, and timeless curb appeal also appeal to eco-conscious buyers because fewer roofs end up in landfills. Just be sure your framing can handle the weight and that you budget for occasional specialty repairs.

Skip the DIY climb if you have a slate roof. Slate may be tough against the weather, but a single misplaced step can crack a tile and create a leak path. The surface also turns slick when wet, upping the risk of injury. Professional crews use staging and hook ladders that spread weight across multiple slates, protecting both the roof and the worker. To inspect or repair slate, call a roofer who specializes in the material.
