"My ceilings starting leaking during some heavy rainstorms in my area. After some frantic phone calls to roofing companies, Roofx responded right away and even sent someone out on a Saturday to look at my roof. There was a hole in my roof and due to it being old slate tile, it couldn't be repaired. The Roofx team was amazing, especially Tiffany, Ron, and Mark. It took about two weeks to schedule them to come out to replace my roof, due to financing and having to wait for a break in the weather. But my new roof was done in one day and they did an amazing job."

"After reviewing different options we went with Superior Insulation for the job.  The arrived promptly, in fact were even early and the job was completed in about 2 hours.  During the process they keep us informed of what was happening and had us inspect everything prior to the next step to be completed.  I would highly recommend this company for any work involving insulation or insulation repair.  They were honest, reasonably priced, and did not add any additional costs or surprises.

"Agreed upon services were competitively priced and completed in a timely fashion. However, the Blue Ribbon Exteriors installation team should be very careful with existing home features that they come into contact with. Many of the original flashing, gutters, and trim features of the home were damaged when the project was completed. Also, scaffolding that was installed at the rear of the home was not properly stabilized and supported which collapsed (in wind) and damaged an existing composite deck. Although, the roof looked good when it was done and there has not been any leaking issues or shingle loss in the past year. The "Would you hire again" question should have a "Maybe" option which I surely would select after this experience."

"I never had a roof replaced before and was worried about the nightmare contractor stories you hear about AND the cost of course. I received a lot of feedback on a Facebook post I wrote with people telling me to hire Encore Roofing. I first had them do some siding work and a roof repair job for me. They did an excellent job. They were prompt, reasonably priced and very helpful. Jim and Mike came out and took care of a job extra early one morning because they knew I was about to get my home inspected that afternoon. They inspection went well and they played a tremendous role in that. I was very grateful. Then I decided to get quotes for getting a new roof installed. I later decided to continue my relationship with Encore and hired them to do the job. They did it in a timely manner, they did excellent work, and kept my property clean along the way. The roof was finished beautifully in a matter of 4 days and I am extremely pleased with the job they did. I highly recommend Encore Roofing for any of your roofing needs. Choose them and relax. They will do a great job for you at a reasonable price. - Jim R."

"I called late Friday and was given an appointment for the next morning! They replaced a few shingles, sealed a couple areas on the roof and did a complete inspection. I asked for an estimate to replace the roof and it was less than I expected, but was told it didn't need done now. The roof is well over 20 years old, but they said the repairs they made should get me through the next year or two. With that kind of honesty they will definitely be the company that replaces my roof. They were very courteous, friendly and knowledgeable. I highly recommend Affordable Roofing."

"We've worked with All Season Gutters in the past for new gutters and gutter guards, on both our old house and our new house as soon as we moved in. When we saw that they also did roof replacements too, it was a no-brainer. The owners are great to work with. Jeff and Amy are eager to assist and get the job done quickly and it looks great! Their staff is friendly, professional, and hard-working. We highly recommend All Season Gutters, you will not be disappointed."

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