"Leo and his crew were great - completely redid the roof, replaced some windows and doors. We were very happy with his work, and would definitely hire him again in the south end."

"I had initially called 4 other roof contractors and then I contacted a general contractor friend for advice on which contractor to choose. My friend said these companies were charging too much and he referred me to TJ Roofing LLC. My friend said he knew TJâ s owner, Temo Rodriguez, had used his company on multiple roofing jobs and found them a reliable, dependable and trustworthy company. My friend said I would not be disappointed with TJ Roofing. I called TJ Roofing and was pleased Temo came out personally. He listened to my expectations and my specific requirements. TJâ s estimate was the lowest roofing estimate by several thousand dollars. I decided to go with TJ Roofing and I am glad I did. TJ Roofingâ s crew was extremely professional and hardworking. The team supervisor kept me informed of the daily work progression and addressed my specific additional needs. TJâ s crew replaced 3 rotten trim boards, allowed me to paint them prior to installation and then helped me by spot painting the finished product. I was impressed that their roofing crew was very skilled at carpentry as well as roofing. I changed my roofing ventilation from can vents to a ridgeline ventilation system. TJ roofing did an excellent job with this conversion. They did not stop until they met all of my expectations (to include the site clean-up). Temo also helped me with some needed gutter installation and repairs. I would highly recommend TJ Roofing to any of my neighbors. My new roof looks amazing!"

"It went great!! Harry Wheeler is amazing! I needed this done as soon as possible when I contacted him and he made it happen. I needed these repairs done to sell my home and he came through for me. The price was more than I had anticipated, but the service he provided was well worth the price."

"It went very, very well. Everything from start to finish was a pleasant experience. Pricing was MORE than fair. Employees were all friendly and courteous, and at all times acted as though they truly liked their jobs. My property was cleaned up so well that you could not even tell a new roof has been installed over 2 days time. So refreshing! I will use this company any time I need roofing done on any of my properties, and will certainly call them for estimates on the numerous other services they provide."

FAQs for natural slate roofing installation and replacement projects in Centralia, WA

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.
