"Working with Matt and his team at MAP Construction was great! After finding missing shingles from wind damage, his crew came out and temporarily tarped the damaged areas. I filed an insurance claim and Matt helped navigate the process. Fortunately, my roof was covered by insurance. I picked the shingle color and they had all of the materials delivered to my house. The shingles were put directly onto my roof and the remaining materials were out of the way. On the day of replacement, they brought a dump trailer and parked it in the driveway and got to work. The ended up replacing rotting wood (which is not covered by insurance), but let me know ahead of time this may be extra. The roof turned out great and they filed the warranty registration for me. Would definitely recommend!"

"Buckeye State Roofing is a business I would highly recommend. The owner, Brent, was involved in the oversight of the installation. What a personable and conscientious person to work with! His crew were prompt, worked efficiently and quickly, and cleaned up as promised. They even took care not to trample my flowers that were already poking up! My new roof is beautiful! Thanks so much, guys, for your hard work!"

"Very nice and professional crew. Installed roof and replaced rotted wood. Made sure past work from other company was corrected so no future issues occur. They made sure everything was cleaned up when they left. We will definitely call them for more projects in the future!"

"So let me start by saying...Thomas Evans and Homestyle Home Improvements are A-1 in my book. From the very first encounter with them, they have surpassed my expectations! Thomas's attention to detail and coming through as promised has definitely put him and the company at the top of my list. Everything from installation of the roof to clean-up afterwards and the checking to make sure we were satisfied was spot on! I definitely highly recommend Thomas and Homestyle Home Improvements. From start to finish...2 weeks and that included haggling with the insurance company!! 5 - STAR 🌟"

"Pioneer Roofing tore off two layers of old roofing and installed my beautiful new roof today. They were professional, on time and clean. Marty and his crew answered any questions I had. They were very careful around all of my landscaping which I appreciated very much. They did an exceptional job of cleaning up afterwards and did the entire job in one day! The price I was quoted- which I thought was great price (much cheaper than other quotes) is the price I paid. I would highly recommend this company! Thanks so much Marty and your crew!"

FAQs for natural slate roofing installation and replacement projects in Avon Lake, OH

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.
