"Russell Roofing replaced our roof in a professional and expeditious manner. It looks beautiful, and we are confident that there will be no more leaks into our bedroom ceilings. Subsequent to fixing our roof, we requested advice about a water problem in our basement. Zach and Chad came to our house to inspect the problem. They not only made suggestions about how to deal with this but cleared our window wells of dry leaves to try to alleviate this situation. They volunteered to do this and, by doing so, went "above and beyond". We appreciate their attentiveness and kindness. We highly recommend Russell Roofing."

"After a lengthy search for contractors to replace our very damaged, old roof, we were extremely lucky and grateful to find J Parker Contracting. We knew replacing our roof would be a major, difficult job because of the nature of our roof and the age of the house, over 110 years old. It would involve removing both a top layer of old asphalt AND the original slate underneath before putting on a new asphalt shingle roof. The house has three stories and the roof is steeply pitched. From the start, J Parker Contracting, under the leadership of James Parker, demonstrated professionalism, trustworthyness, and thoroughness in all aspects of this project. James arranged to come out to our home to give a free estimate the day after we called. He gave a lot of time and attention to detail, going over the house carefully and answering all of our questions. It was a helfpul and informative conversation. Within hours after leaving, James emailed us an estimate and contract that was very fairly priced and extraordinarily detailed, itemizing every aspect of the job he would do. We mutually agreed to wait a few weeks until the weather got a little warmer. Meanwhile, James and his father Al helped us choose the appropriate asphalt shingles and color for our roof, bringing by samples and weighing options with us. They continuously showed us their own investment and care with our project. We arranged the starting date with them, and they arrived promptly that morning. Once the work began, the crew stayed with the job until it was done. There was never any postponement. J Parker contracting is the definition of a family business. James, his father Al, and his brother were regularly on site working with the crew and making sure that everything was being done properly and to their standards. The crew itself was professional, courteous, and extremely tidy with their work. They cleaned up the work areas and surrounding yard daily. James and Al were always reachable, responding immediately to our phone calls, voice messages, and texts. At one point during the job, an unforeseen complication came up requiring some substantial repairs and reconstruction. James and the crew were able to resolve these issues quickly and successfully, making necessary price adjustments that were very fair. The end result after a week of work? A beautiful, highly impressive, and solidly built new roof! We could not be happier with how it turned out and are very thankful to James and the entire team at J Parker Contracting for their hard work, positive energy, and tremendous professionalism. As I write this review, J Parker is back at our house doing another major project on our large enclosed front porch - another 5-star review to follow at the conclusion of the job!"

"I hired Home Run Roofing to replace by roof and gutters, and I could not be more satisfied with the overall experience. They offered multiple options for my project, all of which were affordable and competitive. Reviewing and selecting a work estimate and applying for financing was a 2025 customer service experience (as opposed to a CS experience expected 10, 15, or 25 years ago), which in part distinguished them from other companies I met with. When I had any questions during the project it was very easy to reach my my contact at Home Run Roofing to answer my question. The crew assigned to the job were outstanding. The work was completed within two days (one day for the roof, the second for the gutters) and everything was thoroughly cleaned up afterwards. Since the project's completion I have received multiple compliments about how beautiful the new roof and gutters look."

"The roof was in worse shape than we expected so it did cost more than the original estimate. Otherwise, everything went well. Workers were professional and the work was completed in a timely manner. They were able to do multiple tasks (roof, chimney flashing, liner, fireplace) so we didn't have to hire multiple contractors."

"I just had my roof replaced with Lane Roofing. Shawn Keys was very honest and helpful. He inspected my roof and told me everything that needed to be repaired and replaced and updated me through the whole process and shared photos from start to finish. The crew was great. They showed up early and cleaned up like they were never there. I would highly recommend Lane Roofing & Exteriors."

FAQs for natural slate roofing installation and replacement projects in Bryn Mawr, PA

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.
