"The roof job on my home was outstanding!! Santos is a perfectionist! I've never had a job done that went so smoothly and so professional! Santos is knowledgeable in every aspect of roofing, he knows roofs from the inside out. He explained and showed photos of the entire job as it was installed. His crew worked hard to get the job done right the first time. Now, our roof is of the utmost quality work for a reasonable price. Santos is an honest man, my quote never changed! He went above and beyond to make me happy with the work his people performed!! I'm extremely happy and satisfied! I already recommended Santos Martinez Roofing to all my family and friends!! Thank you all for exceeding my expectations!!"

"As Robert, owner of the company, is a man of his word, I am submitting an addendum to my previous review and appreciate that Robert and I settled this matter. There was some miscommunication via correspondence but the matter is resolved amicably. Thank you Robert. I would edit the initial review but there does not seem to be a function available, thus my follow up"

"I was totally satisified with the work done on my roof and gutter. I had a leak on from my roof into my family room. Home Genius Exteriors was called. Project manager, Thomas Barto and crew told me what to expect, the time they would arrive and how long the job would take. They arrived promptly and finished the job as promised. They left the property clean and in order. I am totally satisified with the work done and would not hesitate to call them again for future projects."

"Working with Renew Home Exteriors was easy. Their salesman was knowledgeable about the different window options and was able to walk us through financing the project. When the day of install came the crew was able to replace, seal, and trim the windows including installing a large bay window with a facade to match the character of our house."

FAQs for natural slate roofing installation and replacement projects in Chesterland, OH

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.
