"My experience was great.  Upon initial visit Rocket Construction performed a comprehensive inspection of the roof and attic noting all issues and work to be done.  We sat down and they explained in detail my options and costs for the new roof work.  They were very friendly, knowledgable and professional.  I was able to confidently choose the work to be done and roof style/materials from our conversation.  There was no pressure to "sell me up" on work I did not need (we were able to re-roof the house without stripping off the old roof which saved considerable money). A week later their work crew was at my house and completed the entire roof in one day.  The owners stopped by twice to check on the work and the cleanup afterwards was good.They even offer a visit after one year to inspect the roof and clean it of any accumulated moss and debris.

"Well, the first time the replacement was ordered it was the wrong one, which of course, delayed the installation a week. When it was finally installed I had to pay an additional $850 for code upgrades. This I was not informed of by Home Shield. Then we noticed that there was water on the garage floor and found that the pipe coming in from the wall was leaking at the wall so had to call the plumbing company back out to fix it. They first tried to say it was not their fault but since there wasn't a leak before they installed they did fix it. I have used Home Shield a few times before and never had a problem. Some of the companies they use are not the best so you have to research them before you commit. I have found HS service to be good if you do your homework. At the end of the day I was without hot water for almost 3 weeks but it was do to the plumbing company they sent out."

"John came over and checked out the roof for the bid.  He had the bid for us in a couple of days.  That was quick turn around. We accepted the bid and John and his mother came by and brought a lot of samples for my wife and I to look at.  We set the roofing samples out in the front yard so my wife could get a better idea of the color of the products.  It was a good idea because it allowed us to see what the color would look like against the color of our house and what it looks like in natural light.  We spent a lot of time comparing products colors and asking lots of questions.  John and his mother were very patient with us and our questions.  My wife and his mother consulted a lot on the various color combinations and textures of the products.  john and his mother  were very professional and personable.  They understood that it was a big investment for us and allowed us to take our time.  What we appreciated was they did not try to up sale or push a particular line of products.  We did choose one product that was more money than the one we originally thought we liked. After we made the selection, they gave us a timeline and an overview of the work. 
The timeline had to be moved due to rain for a week or so and John kept us informed.  Being informed is important to us.   John and his crew arrived on time and got right to work.  They were fast and efficient. It only took a day for the new roof to be installed and it looked great.  They cleaned up and hauled off all the old materials and picked up the debris out of the front and back yards.  We found a few stray staples but nothing to be concerned about. 
Mid Valley is one of a few certified Owens-Corning contractors in the Salem area.  By being certified Mid Valley could extend the  manufacturers standard warranty of 20 years to 50 and it doesn't cost the home owner anymore.  Got to love a bonus. Owens-Corning will only extend the warranty if their products are installed by a certified approved contractor.  Mid Valley is. The warranty is backed by Owens-Corning not by individual contractors who may not be in business before the warranty expires. We checked to make sure the warranty is legit and it is.  We took several bids and reviewed them.  Mid Valley was a little higher than the lowest.  I called John and asked if he would match the bid.  I told him what the bid was and he said he would match it.  I was all set for some haggling or some grumbling but NONE of that happened it was really nice. 
We had some concerns about getting the warranty information and I called John.  He always answers his phone and I explained my concern.  He told me that he would look into it and get back to me.  John said Owens was a bit behind and we would get our info.   A few weeks went by and no info, so I called John.  He contacted Owens and got back to me. A couple of weeks went by and no info.  I again contacted John about it.  He followed up with emails to Owens-Corning and he forwarded the responses from their representative.  Which revealed the warranty info was registered by John but Owens-Corning dropped the ball in getting it out to us and they said for John to give us their direct contact info.  Which he did. It will be another few weeks before we get the info.  This is important,  John never groaned or sounded unhappy nor did he try to avoid me when I spoke with him about this issue.  This is great customer service.  I can not say enough about the great service.  John even answers his email on weekends.  That is very rare these days for a business to do that.  We did have a question about what appeared as lumpy shingles on some parts of the roof.  We called and John explained that the lumpy shingles will flatten out when the temperature gets warmer.  And they did.  My wife is happy about that.  We enjoyed our experience with Mid Valley building LLC and we have recommended them to several friends.  Great workmanship great price and outstanding costumer service.  Oh yeah and NO LEAKS.   They do other work besides roofs.  We would use them again."

"As above.   Begin date was delayed because of a very rainy season.   Worker appeared at my address first, then sent to my daughter's home in Beaverton.  He did sight a few dry-rotted boards but did not have replacement boards with him.  He completed the job of the entire deck as was commissioned well and it is holding up well.

FAQs for natural slate roofing installation and replacement projects in Baker City, OR

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.
