"Elias Contruction provided a detailed estimate after inspecting the roof and making some qualified recommendations. The project required a few change orders that were not clarified in writing. I would recommend hiring Elias if you get changes in writing. They cleaned up pretty well although they missed a few things due to finishing in the dark. Overall satisfied with the job and cost was 60% of other bids due to sheathing adjustment."

"Excellent Small Buisiness Roofing Company. I will hire them again to do my entire house this summer. The job I hired them to do is to strip 1/2 of my garage roof, repair corner of roof which was damaged, install a new composit roofing using shingles resistant to wind velocity to 130 mph, and install 26 feet of gutters. A. Company is in high demand. Get your roofing request in early. B. Workmanship. Lead and working supervisor/owner very professional. Takes pride in his and his crew's workmanship. Very professional work ethic. Stays focussed on project and gets the job done. Identifies errors prior roofer's made and corrects those errors when reroofing.. C. Uses high quality roofing materials with quality warranties, also does metal roofing. D. Their bid is very competitive. Make sure you include them your list of roofing contractors. Work with the Customer Service Representative (co/owner). It's a small company and they need a few days to work in an estimate. You will not regret it. E. Makes and installs tailored gutters and downspouts on site."

"Miguels roofing did quality work for a fair price. I appreciated when they identified hidden water damage and made the appropriate corrections and did not just lay the new roof over the hidden problem. Thanks for the hard work and beautiful roof. Tyler"

"Jose and his employees are highly skilled craftsmen who have their customer’s satisfaction as their top priority. This is the second time I’ve hired them to do work around my home and again I was very, very pleased. (The first time was a remodel my master and main bathrooms. They turned out beautiful and I couldn’t have been happier) All the people involved with building my fence were very pleasant and responsive. They were able to work around some wooden plant boxes and low decking that were built closely to or attached to the ordinal fence without damaging them. Whenever there was a question as to our preferences, work didn’t continue until it was answered. They also did a great job cleaning up all the debris from my yard. I would easily hire them again and highly recommend J&T Remodel for any home renovation."

FAQs for natural slate roofing installation and replacement projects in Bellingham, WA

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.
