"The roof of my 28-year-old house was leaking. I called Above-It-All-Roofing and Dave came to prepare the estimate. We went over the estimate in detail and Dave answered my questions. There was no pressure to sign the contract and Dave provided his cell phone number in the event I had more questions. I decided to use Above-It-All-Roofing because they had the best estimate, my sister used Above-It-All-Roofing 15 years ago and she’s happy with her roof, and the company has many positive reviews. The job was scheduled, the workers showed up on time, worked long days, cleaned up each day and finished in 4 days. After they finished, I noticed black flashing was installed. I wanted the flashing to be painted the same color as the stucco, but I did not have the paint. Later, I also noticed some tiles on the lower roof were chipped or discolored. I bought the paint, and I called Dave to schedule a time to have the flashing painted, the chipped tiles replaced, and the discolored tiles relocated. Dave came over with one of his workers who painted the flashing, replaced the chipped tiles, and relocated the discolored tiles. I am happy with the job Above-It-All-Roofing did on my roof and I recommend Above-It-All-Roofing for anyone looking for a roofer."

"I have a spray-foam roof and I have used this company before. They are not the cheapest but they offer quality work and leave the place really tidy. This time I needed to have three skylights installed and was having a devil of a time finding reasonable quotes. I knew I'd have to have them out after to fix any roofing issues so I spoke with them early on. The owner, Ed, came out himself and suggested they do the whole job, roof sealing AND installation. I jumped at the chance and they did the job today. I couldn't have asked for more. The employees were really nice and professional, did a great job, and left the place immaculate. I'm thrilled!!!"

"I used them to paint our house about 6 1/2 years ago.  I was happy then and am still happy after this job.  They are not the least expensive but do qualtiy work and offer a "touch up" service in between major painting to extend the life of a paint job.  The crew (Enrique and Jorge) were great.  They worked hard and were obviously very experienced.  One of them had been on the crew that painted my house 6 1/2 years ago.  They spent a lot of time on prep.  They estimated that the job would take about 1 week and were right on.  They were also great about coordinating the painting with the gutter company.  I had my old guttters removed prior to painting as I wanted the facia underneath the gutters painted.  The new alumium gutters then needed to be installed while the painters were still there since we were using bonderized downspouts (which need to be painted), several of which needed to be fabricated after the gutters were installed.  Suffice it to say, the coordination went flawlessly.  Also, Joe Freed, the owner, had to deal with my indecision on paint colors and transparent vs. solid stain on the pergola.  I trusted him on the solid stain recommendation and could not be happier.  I was unhappy with the downspout color (which I picked) after they were painted.  Joe and I picked another color and they repainted them without hassle and they look great.  I added another bit to the job at the end which added $140.  Some of the roof flashing was showing between the concrete tile roof and new gutters.  Joe picked up paint and they finished that up with the rest of the job.  I'll definitely use them again."

"It is our complete belief that Be Green Builders is one of Los Angeles lovely surprises when it comes to selecting a general contractor for any large remodeling project. The overall customer service and the actual work was done on a high-quality level and this gave us a high level of comfort and dependability (something hard to find today). The remodeling project stages were reported daily to us… so we always knew where we stand regard to plans vs the actual budgets and schedules. Nir was able to forecast the project budget almost to the dollars from the time we agreed about the design and materials. After the design phase was completed, Nir and his professional team of people worked on each and every detail of the remodeling project based on the agreed schedule. Before we hired Be Green Builders to our house, we interviewed many general contractors and Nir’s professionalism was much more than we could imagine to get. We will hire them again and we do recommend them to anyone we know and meet that is interesting in an any type of custom house or even a landscaping project."

FAQs for natural slate roofing installation and replacement projects in Avalon, CA

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.
