"WARNING: DO NOT hire First Response Roofing and Construction. We hired them in 2021 to do extensive work on our home, including installing new windows and replacing vinyl siding. Today, my house is in worse shape than before they started their work and I am out over $25,000. My review is very limited due to the word count limitations by the site. Here are the key takeaways from our experience with First Response Roofing : 1. They fraudulently represented that they were licensed to perform the contracted for work on my home when they were not; 2. We didn't discover that they were unlicensed until it became clear that they were not qualified to peform the work they were paid to do. One example of their lack of qualifications is that during the installation of our new Pella windows, the workers were using such force to place the new windows in, the drywall inside my home cracked. I then noticed that the windows were installed with no window jams. I asked why they were using such force to cause cracks in the interior of my home and why there were no jams, and was given several, inconsistent explanations that made no sense. I required that they stop work on the home until the issue could be resolved. 3. As of 9/16/2022, the work remains unfinished. Since they stopped working, I have learned that they removed structual componenets surrounding a large window in the front of my home when taking out the old window. They installed the new window without replacing the structual components (headers) - even though THE CONTRACT EXPLCITLY REQUIRED THE INSTALLTION OF STRUCTURAL COMPONENTS WITH THE NEW WINDOW. In addition to the incomplete work, I have been advised that if the window isn't reinstalled with the structural compenets, the roof in that area of the home will begin to sag and eventually fall in. 4. The lien remains today, despite the fact that they know they broke the law in placing the lien (and performing the work on my home while unlicensed). In fact, THEIR ATTORNEY CALLED ME ABOUT THE OUTSTANDING BALANCE THEY CLAIMED I OWED FOR THE UNCOMPLETED WORK AND WHEN I TOLD HIM THEY WERE UNLICENSED, HE SAID HE WAS UNAWARE AND IF THAT WAS TRUE, I WOULDN'T HEAR FROM HIM AGAIN. I NEVER HEAD FROM HIM AGAIN!! THE ONLY WAY I CAN GET THE WORK DONE BY A LICENSED AND QUALIFIED CONTRACTOR IS TO PAY FOR THE ENTIRE JOB TO BE REDONE BECAUSE NO OTHER CONTRACT IS WILLING TO WORK FROM WHAT FIRST RESPONSE STARTED BECAUSE THEY DON'T WANT THE LIABILITY FROM FIRST RESPONSE'S WORK. To many pictures to post"

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.
