"It was great. An excellent job done very efficiently, in spite of weather issues. Even the city inspector was impressed. The company owners were very easy to work with and took into consideration all of the special issues this particular job had. They were easy to talk to and quickly answered my questions as they came up. I will certainly contact them when I need a general contractor for future projects."

"It went marvelously. I waited to write this review until we got a good rain and heavy snow fall. June 2019, Stegman Roofing tore off two layers of roofing and replaced about 5 sheets of plywood sheeting and then laid down an ice and water shield and then tiger paw underlay and then "lifetime" true definition shingles. It looks great. Then, late spring, 2019, rain, lots of rain; still no leaks. Then, December 2019, came a snow storm that laid down more snow than any single storm has in the 25 years we've lived here--18". The snow stayed on the roof for over a week; still no leaks. His workers installed our new roof with such care they said is the same care they would give to their own grandmothers' roofs. How sweet and comforting that was to hear, and, after getting to know the workers, I believe they were sincere, truly sincere. NO LEAKS WHAT SO EVER! Now I should be happy with this new roof for the rest of my "lifetime.""

"Would give zero stars if possible! Larry Hoang at first presented himself as an honest, reasonable man and contractor but his actions have proven this very wrong. We have two major roof leaks that will cost us thousands of dollars to fix - caused by deficient solar panel installation. He refuses to repair them, despite three independent reports from other local licensed contractors indicating the roof damage was *directly* caused by the solar panel installation. We am currently filing a formal complaint with the California State Contractors Licensing Board in an effort to get him to respond, as we cannot even get our roof fixed until he agrees to remove the panels. We hired him specifically because we wanted to support local businesses - but we sincerely regret this decision. Buyer BEWARE! This is not an honorable businessman - nor business!"

Hanford Roofing Co. was established in 1968 by Andrew Perez with the company motto being, "Modern Methods With Old Fashioned Courtesy & Integrity." Keeping their Father's words in mind, Andy Jr. and Dennis Perez make sure the company's reputation for quality workmanship is still a top priority. While their father is no longer involved in the daily operation, he still provides business insight while enjoying his retirement. Andy Jr. now oversees customer service, selling and management; Dennis handles the installation and production end of the business. Andy Jr. says he offers customers different pricing options by recommending a tier of good, better and the best as well as options for repairing their roof. Re-roofing accounts for a majority of their business with a split of about 60 to 40 percent of residential and commercial work respectively. Homeowners today have more choices in color and styles when it comes time to replace their roofs and Hanford Roofing Co. offers a wide varriety of material to choose from. Once the job is completed, Perez says, they take special pride in the clean up. They use 36-inch magnets that they skim over laws and flowerbeds to pick up any metal pieces and nails. They also remove any oil from driveways and leftover roofing debris from the job sit. "Other than having a new roof, it looks like we were never there," he says of the company's clean up policy. Hanford Roofing Co. is happy to give free estimates, just call Michele in the office at, 582-5607 and she will be glad to set up an appointment.

FAQs for natural slate roofing installation and replacement projects in Avenal, 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.
