"Extremely disappointed with this company. They do not stand by their guarantees. Did install shower in one day. Was not provided with the shower head I ordered. Calking and trim work was very sloppy. Went through the shower wall into my bedroom, did sparkle wall and left it. Shower doors have leaked and was finally told six months later that there is nothing they can do to correct the issue. Originally quoted $24,000.00 for the walk on shower, eventually agreed to $11,500.00. Completely dissatisfied with my shower. Once they get their payment, they are done."

"We hired Unicorp to replace all our windows, doors, and siding—and the result has been an amazing transformation of the entire house. Not only was the work done to perfection, but the people we dealt with at every stage made the whole experience a pleasure. From the start, our sales rep Alex was informative and responsive, answering all our questions over several weeks—so that by the time we signed the contract, we were totally comfortable with the project design, and knew what to expect when work began. Paul was in charge of the window and door installation. He and his crew finished all the work in just two days, and kept the work areas clean as well. Everyone was friendly and courteous, and Paul himself was an unforgettable character. Window replacement can be an overwhelming job, since it involves every room in the house, but Paul made it fun with entertaining conversation. And he was an artist with the trim capping, making sure to match the style of our colonial house so that the windows would have definition instead of appearing flat. The windows and doors themselves are top-of-the-line quality. They instantly modernized the house, and because of the improved energy efficiency, our AC is able to maintain the house temperature so much better in the blazing hot summer. JR was in charge of the siding job and other finishing touches. His crew, Nam and Augustine, were incredibly talented and hardworking (even after driving four hours to our house each morning)! They completed the siding on our addition in just one day. The end result is stunning, and the insulated vinyl siding has made the addition much quieter and more comfortable. JR came up with creative solutions, like figuring out how to design the columns and header so that they’d fit in the tight spaces around our door. And he was always easy to reach by phone or text. There were a few issues with the materials delivered for the shutters and the door surround, which caused some delays toward the very end of the project. But JR was committed to making everything perfect, and he came back himself to do the final installation and painting. This was the largest renovation project we’ve ever undertaken, and Unicorp made it such a positive experience. We couldn’t be happier with our “new” house, and we look forward to calling them again, when it’s time for us to get a new roof!"

FAQs for natural slate roofing installation and replacement projects in Big-pool, MD

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.
