"Storm damage on my over 100 year old house required a new roof. High demand for roofing made getting a good roofer nearly impossible. Angi gave me several options. THE WORKS team responded the next day and gave me a quote that was very reasonable compared to local quotes I had gotten and scheduled the job for completion before winter. True to their word they brought a large crew of skilled roofers who completed the job to my wishes in record time. They were responsive to work with. Would hire them again."
The final cap and closure never gets old, aesthetically looks great, functional, its the surety your home is secure...!!!

"It went great. The installation required some thought on how to make the Chewy model work with the style of latch on our patio door. Roy figured it out quickly and made a quick trip to Ace for the material he needed. The results were an airtight fit that looks great. Roy was great with our dogs which tend to get overexcited around visitors."

"Jimmy put in both doors with an eye for detail that was above and beyond what I could have expected. He took the time to make sure both doors were installed absolutely square and level.
The quality of Jimmy's work was absolutely top notch. Add to that a very professional attitude and a pleasant disposition, and I couldn't have had a better experience.
If I ever need any remodeling done in the future, I would not hesitate to use Jimmy Brown Costruction again, and have already recommended him to friends and family.

"It was a big project involving most of the house. Answers construction, owner Tito and his employees were very hard working and detail oriented. They were there to work on time. Very easy to work with and patient with many changes. Tito wanted to be sure we were happy with every detail. We love the renovation and have received many great compliments. Highly recommend Answers Construction."

"The work was done on schedule and within the estimated budget. In addition to completely removing a very steeply-pitched cedar shake roof, the original roof of the 100 plus year old house, the crew had to build the roof onto the house to meet building code. I chose a style and color and the crew of Pete Little Roofing did the massive amount of work.
The crew  cleaned up at every step of the work, were very careful of my two golden retrievers who were in the yard part of the time, and when our insurance company requested that the ornamental shake siding also be replaced Pete Little subcontracted a man who did the siding removal and replacement at the agreed price and within the agreed time frame.
When the job was complete the house looked fantastic.  I would recommend Little Roofing for any roof repair, replacement or just new construction. Excellent end result and very easy to work with.

FAQs for natural slate roofing installation and replacement projects in Boulder, MT

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.
