"I hired this company to repair hail damage on my home in 2023. The job was to replace the roofs on my house and garage as well as siding and gutters on my house. Long story short they came out and did the roofs in a timely manner, the siding and gutters not so much. Communication was lacking and they tried to charge me way more than what my insurance scope was. I had to get a lawyer involved. He sued me and we went to court. I won my case in February 2025 and I am still waiting to be paid the money I am owed. I do not recommend this company, buyer beware."

"Initially, it went great. The crew who re-roofed our house was great and came back multiple times to address a continuous leak issue. I even recommended PPC to multiple howe owners who used their services. However, Rob will now not respond to my texts/calls and emails about finishing the job (downspouts and gutter guards). Additionally, our area was hit with a very bad storm on 08/10/2020. This storm caused damage to our garage resulting in structural damage. I've called/texted and emailed Rob about this issue numerous times. Two appointments were set up to have him give me an estimate and review the insurance estimate (09/11/20 and 09/12/20). Both times I texted him ahead of time about the appointments. An hour after waiting for him for the first appointment passed, I called. He rescheduled to the next day. The next day, again I texted and waited. After an hour passed, I called. Call went to voice mail. Left a voice mail. Called the "office manager" number, went to voice mail. Left a voice mail. Those calls were on 09/12/20, no response has ever been received to date (09/30/20). Granted, the storm caused monumental damage for the area and I understand PPC was probably very busy, but to completely blow off a prior customer, whose prior work has not been completed and who referred your business to multiple clients, is very unprofessional and uncalled for. Simply addressing the fact they are busy and he will get to our issues would have been enough."

FAQs for natural slate roofing installation and replacement projects in Cedar Falls, IA

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.
