"I have nothing but great things to say about Sam and his teams. They recently completed a challenging roof project for our property and from start to finish (bidding thru clean up) they did a great job. Communication was clear and timely, workers were friendly and thorough, they managed unexpected challenges well and completed the work on schedule. This is not the experience I’ve had with other roofing companies, so I highly recommend Sam and Forever Roofing."

"Curtis, the second generation of this company was very professional and thorough in our estimating searches. The main reason we went with them one it’s family owned too. It’s local and three gave us the best price out of the five quotes that we got. The whole project from start to finish was done very well by the company and his workers. Every day when they were done with work, they made sure to run a magnet through the driveway so we wouldn’t get a flat tire on our cars. The team worked very hard and was able to wrap up our whole roof project within a week even during crummy weather. If you are in need of a roof replacement, put DHT roofing at the top of your list we would hire them over and over again for how well they made this project and smooth they made this project go."

"We needed a new roof including new sheeting. Our roof was a 23 year old composite roof with 3/8" sheeting. We received 3 bids from different roofing companies. All of the bids came in within a few hundred dollars of each other. We decided to go with A Better Roofing Company because of reviews, their history in the area dating back to 1991, and the professionalism of Daniel who wrote up the estimate. We received the estimate in October 2018 and the job was completed in December 2018. Scheduling was a difficult because of the rainy days. The crew started on a friday and finished on sunday. The crew worked right thru until the job was done. When i had my extimate done i had choosen white flashing around the roof to match the facia board. The crew mistakenly installed dark flashing that matched the black roof we choose. When I did the walk through after the job was completed with Michael right before Christmas i pointed that out. He immediately said they would come out and replace it with the correct flashing. Since Christmas was a few days away I related to Michael that they could come out anytime after Christmas, no hurry. The next day when i got home from work it was all replaced. That was being responsive! The roof is beautiful and solid. I would recommend A Better Roofing Company to everyone."

"CJ came and spent some time with me during the initial estimate. Very pleasant salesman that's easy to relate to and very detailed on how the whole project would be done. The crew that came out to replace my roof were quick, polite and cleaned up well after each work day. (2 days for the roof) Three Tree Roofing provided a huge dumpster for them to throw the debris in which was parked in my driveway, and a honey bucket for their use. There was one issue I had with the skylights and installation, but it's not enough to sway my opinion of this company. The company that Three Tree hired to replace my gutters were exceptionally knowledgeable and friendly as well. I've hired many contractors over the years and have never been so pleased. I HIGHLY recommend them. Last thing I should mention......... I received a nice little gift in the mail after the project was completed. Nice touch!!"

"We contacted Integrity Roofing to inspect our roof prior to installing solar panels to determine if it had sufficient life remaining prior to going solar. Kes, our sales person, inspected our old roof and politely and professionally noted that it was at the end of its life. Kes, thoroughly explained our options and provided us with a detailed and competitive estimate. We chose to go with Integrity for these reasons. From there,Tova, in the office took care of getting our project scheduled within our limited time frame so as to minimize impact on the Air BnB we operate at our home. Chuy, our project manager, and his crew got the job done on time and right on budget. Peter the project engineer checked in as well to review progress and confirm the small change orders we made to replace just a few pieces of old trim and one piece of sheathing. The crew completed the project and left the property as clean as it was when they arrived. In a climate like we have here in the PNW, having a roof you can trust to protect your most valuable asset canâ t be understated. I now have that confidence. Thanks Integrity Roofing. Now bring in the solar panels!! Ben and Brooke Drury"

"If I could give 1000 stars, I would!!! Tommy is hands down the best! He replaced my entire roof and did an absolutely incredible job. From start to finish, he was so professional, honest, and fair. His crew was amazing?hardworking, respectful, and clearly experienced. The roof looks stunning, and I couldn?t be happier with how everything turned out. I?m honestly sad I can only give 5 stars because Tommy deserves way more. Thank you so much, Tommy, for making this such a smooth and beautiful transformation!"

"My wife and I were hopeful when we booked Rain City to work on windows (16 windows) and to replace our front porch, which was leaking down into the basement. We decided to go with Rain City after reading reviews online and comparing prices with other companies. In the end, our enthusiasm and excitement were grossly checked. The big sell for us was that they would work on our porch which needed immediate work. We also liked that the sales rep wasn’t too pushy. We also plan to get new siding, and we were hoping that Rain City would work out for this later project. Timeline and communications seemed to be the biggest issues for us. We signed on with them August 1st. The sales rep assured us that we would receive a phone call from the project manager in 48 hours. That didn’t happen. We ended up having to contact the sales rep to get the project manager to come out two weeks after signing. We were told it would take 4-5 weeks to build the windows and that they would be back to install them roughly at the end of September/beginning of October. We had also been told by the sales rep that the whole project would take 5 days total (3 days to install windows and 2 days for the porch). When the windows (11 of the total) were delivered to our doorstep in mid-October, they said they would be out to work the next day, a Friday. They didn’t end up coming until the following Tuesday afternoon. In about 2 and a half days of work, they installed the 11 windows (we still had some windows not delivered) and they took off the railing of our porch. During this time, they installed a wrong window that was not included in the contract. When we saw this, we were very confused how they could’ve installed a completely wrong window not on the order. (Luckily for us, they offered to leave it in at no cost.) They also broke a window pane installing the window. (We brought this to their attention and they promised this would be fixed—which it was eventually fixed in January). Then we didn’t see them until November, when they came back to work on the porch and to fix the window sills. (We had to ask them to fix the window sills, since we complained to them that the insulation in our walls was exposed where gaps between the window and the sills were. It seemed to us, if we hadn’t complained, this wouldn’t have been fixed.) They also returned in December to finish the remaining windows—which in October or November, the project manager disclosed to us that they had forgotten to order these windows. In the end, it was an exhaustive process working with Rain City. Besides not communicating very well when they would arrive to our house to work, it was sometimes hard to get messages returned from the project manager. Also it didn’t seem to us that there was good communication on our original contract to the crew (i.e. installing a completely wrong window). Also when we received the final invoice they charged us an exorbitant price for 2 extra windows we had ordered in August after signing the original contract. We had inquired with the project manager throughout the fall to get a cost for these extra 2 windows. We didn’t see the price tag until the final invoice. We had to contest the costs, and they brought the price down to a more reasonable rate and they honored the labor costs outlined in our original contract. They were careful to keep the inside of our house clean, but our yard took some damage—with a couple plants destroyed and lots of small debris not cleaned up. The Rain City employees were all very respectful and friendly, and overall so was the sales rep and project manager. The windows look nice, now that they are done. The porch turned out ok. The craftsmanship of the work will be tested with time."

FAQs for natural slate roofing installation and replacement projects in Black Diamond, 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.
