"5 stars for the window replacement. Everything about it, and all of the various people involved (sales, measurements, installation, inspection) were fantastic. The installation team did leave some debris on-site, but the inspector took it away in his truck before he left. 4 stars for the siding work (subcontracted). They did a good job on a 90+ degree day. They did use some of our bricks that were being used as an animal barrier for our garden to level their ladder and didn't put them back. We also had language barriers that made the signing off process a littler longer. Some random metal pieces from the job were left in our driveway and boarders, but were easy to find before they did any potential damage to car tires. 1 star for the insulation work (subcontracted). The guy was supposed to come between 7-9 am, but due to a "communication issue" on their side, he didn't come until 12:30 pm. My wife took off work to be home to let him in, and had they told us he would be there in the afternoon, I could've been home and no time off needed. Punctual is supposedly one of their bill of rights. We wanted a radiant barrier put on our roof. He did maybe 70% and stopped, calling the job done. He also left a bunch of the fasteners on the floor of our attic and didn't take the time to cut off any excess material. My wife signed off on the paperwork without looking at the job (partially her fault), but the installer had her sign it on the first floor and made it seem like he was in a hurry to get back to PA where he's from. I called and complained about the job and sent photos and video. It was the end of the day, and I missed the call back, but there was no communication after. Without letting us know, it turns out, they are coming tomorrow between 10-noon. I only found this out because I called to complain about the gutter installation that was late and asked about a follow-up to the attic install. ZERO communication that someone was going to be coming, so now I have to take off of work again in hopes that they actually show up. It's not listed on the app that they tout as the greatest thing ever. 1 star so far for the gutter installation (subcontracted). The gutter installation was supposed to be done on Tuesday (two days ago, and a day after the siding since it goes on top of a portion of that), but then the app mysteriously updated itself to say Thursday (today) between 8-10 am. This isn't a huge deal since it's outside and no one needs to be home, but again, no actual communication from Power. At 11:30, we noticed that no one had shown up, so I called. It turns out, the install team couldn't source the black gutter materials, and so they'll have to do it tomorrow. ZERO communication from Power until I called them. The app even shows that they're still coming today between 8-10 even after I called and complained. It's supposed to rain today/tomorrow, and the manager assured me that it wouldn't do any damage to the siding that we just had them install. They have 10 bill of rights. They can go ahead and take off customer first, allocation, and punctual based on their descriptions. If you need windows done, I highly recommend them. When they try to sell you on other stuff, find someone else."

"Peak Roofing was amazing to work with! My roof replacement was a long process—nearly six months of back-and-forth with my insurance company—but Nik and Neil, the owners, were incredibly helpful every step of the way. I contacted 7 roofing companies—5 never showed, and of the 2 that did, Peak stood out immediately. They were professional, thorough, and genuinely helpful. They answered all my (MANY!) questions, provided a detailed estimate for my insurance, and kept communication open throughout the process. Once approved, Peak continued to impress. They confirmed the installation date, checked in the night before and morning of, and both Nik and Neil stopped by to ensure everything was running smoothly. Their crew was friendly, hard-working, and got the entire roof done in a day! Cleanup was so thorough you wouldn't know they were there. Nik and Neil truly understand customer service.

Natural slate roofing installations and replacements FAQs
A slate roof is made of thin, even slices of natural slate stone laid over the roof frame and base layer. Slate is a hard, durable rock formed over millions of years from clay and volcanic ash under extreme pressure deep within the earth. Slate roofs are extremely heavy, even when the shingles are thin, so your roof will likely need reinforcement before your contractor can install the slate. These roofs offer a luxurious, high-end look and can last for decades, but they're costly to install and require regular maintenance.
Slate roofs offer several advantages over other roofing materials. Slate is easy to maintain, reliably lasts for decades, and is extremely durable. It offers a high-end natural look that's energy-efficient and provides a good return on investment. However, a slate roof is considerably more expensive than many other options. It's extremely heavy, may require structural reinforcement, and is complicated to install. Although it is strong, the tiles can crack with impact damage.
Real slate comes from natural stone. Synthetic slate comes from various sources made to look like slate. For either hard or soft natural stone, expect to pay $10 to $30 per square foot, each of which will last 50 to 200 years. If you choose synthetic slate, budget $10 to $15 per square foot. These options will last 20 to 50 years.
Slate roofs last for decades when properly maintained, with natural slate enduring from 50 to 200 years. Hard slate lasts 100 to 200 years, soft slate lasts 50 to 125 years, and synthetic slate lasts 50 to 100 years. The support structure and fixings often require replacement before the slate tiles themselves. Extreme weather, such as tornadoes and hail, reduces the overall lifespan of the roof.
Slate roofs are a valuable investment that boost property appeal and resale value. You receive an ROI of 60% to 70% when installing a slate roof. This roofing material is environmentally responsible because it is natural and lasts up to 200 years, keeping replacement waste to a minimum. In contrast, asphalt roofs expire after 20 to 30 years, which leads to increased waste in landfills.
Walking on your slate roof is not safe and you should avoid it. Don't tread on a slate roof because doing so risks damaging the tiles and risking your safety. Slate roofs are delicate despite their durability, and the weight of a person can crack the slate or cause unexpected slips due to a slick surface when wet. Professional roofing crews utilize specialized equipment to access and work on the roof without putting pressure on individual tiles.
