"We are senior homeowners who need help with odd maintenance and moving jobs. Jose contacted me immediately when I asked for a quote - some of the other contacts never got in touch. He came to our home that day to see what we needed and assess the need - and then he patiently waited two weeks to do it, rescheduled because we were ill. When we finally did meet, he did an excellent job in a very short time. We are already talking to him about another job. If you need someone with good skills and a great work ethic to help you with essential jobs you can no longer do, call Jose."

"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."

"Shay did a fantastic job installing our new retractable awning. It looks great and he is a pleasure to work with. He’s reliable, prompt and reasonably priced. We had previously hired him to repair some stuck windows and we definitely recommend him."

"Great! Craig responded to my initial inquiry email right away. Was at my house to give me an estimate the next day. He showed up for the schedule day of the job on time and was very communicative prior to and after he did the work. Took photos of everything and showed me prior to payment. I found him to be a stand up, responsible and high quality workman."

"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 team at J&T did an excellent job. Very pleased to have worked with them on our kitchen renovation. They were extremely informative throughout the work, helping guide us to make the right decisions as the work progressed. Additionally, J&T is very fair and transparent on the price and even helped us get better contractor discounts for the majority of our materials. Additionally, J&T worked around our schedule to see the job through. Will definitely hire again. Very happy with the J&T team and the finished product. Thanks!"

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.
