"I needed four new exterior exhaust vents, some vinyl siding popped back into place, a shingle replaced, and a ceiling hook installed. Two of the vents, vinyl, and the shingle were about 16+ feet up, and the other two vents were about 10 feet up. I mostly wanted to get someone out here to do it because I didn't want to buy a $200+ extendable ladder to do it myself. I was contacted and given pricing fairly quickly. Which at $55/hr with no minimum of 3-4 hours, beats the other handymen I've gotten quotes for. He arrived, and was very polite and friendly. Absolutely great person in general. He jumped right into the work, and I wasnt given an estimate after he understood the work needed. but given quotes by others and over the phone, I imagined it to be maybe like 2 hours (or 3 with a supply run), so I didn't pay it any mind. It took 4.5 hours, though I believe the handyman doing the maintenance was experienced, he seemed to definitely be new to the company and had to call back about certain procedures. At one point the professional asked for my help during the work day, or else he was going to need either someone else or different tools (which when you're paying hourly, the meters running, so I may as well help). They didn't bring a 8-10 foot ladder, so the professional borrowed mine. When moving their 20ft ladder, there was nearly a point where I pointed out the end of ladder was starting to pull up my shingles while he was trying to finagle the positioning of this ladder. The work on the vents is certainly caulked, but the vinyl siding around it is questionable. I don't think there will be a problem with any of the vents moving forward, and certainly functional. However, the vinyl edging around the vents (to essentially make them look pretty, and maybe prevent water) was torn away when pulled out which I don't think was necessary. The rest of the vinyl siding and the shingle was repaired, and due to the clock ticking, I decided to do the ceiling hook and light repositioning. When given the final invoice, I wanted to pay with Credit Card, it wasn't until as I was paying that I was presented with a 3.5% charge for using Credit Card, that isn't on their original pricing sheet given to me by email. Overall, The handyman was experienced though new, I received no estimate in the beginning, I was surprised at how long it took, quality was very average, professionalism was good at times and terrible in others. But the work did get done, and I don't think Ill have a problem with the work down the road. They do have one of the best prices out there, but it took long enough that it didnt matter at that point. Additionally, a surprise 3.5% upcharge for credit card is kind of obnoxious. Given the opportunity again, I would probably someone else."

"They did a great job! My roof looks great! Reliable and kept me well informed about everything. They kept cost in mind and cleaned up nicely after themselves. Serge even came out late to tarp the roof until it could get repaired so that I didnâ t have any further damage to the house waiting for the roof. They were very nice to work with. Great people. I canâ t say enough good things about them!"

"I called on a Tuesday or Wednesday and scheduled the work for Thursday morning. They showed up very punctually and went straight to work. They are completely self contained and used none of our power or water. The job was excellent, the personal friendly and business-like. I would highly recommend this company."

"Our is 2.5 storey and steep roof. Owner visited and without getting on roof told me that you need to replace 2 flashings. The house is 9 years old and according to him ( I am not sure) it is better to replace flashing after 10-12 years any way. I think flashing should have same about 30 years life of roof. However, I accepted the recommendation as cost was $150. Also, I don't think they inspected or did anything on other side of the roof. He sent Brian in the following week to carry out work. Brian is really hardworking honest guy. He spent about 4 hours on roof to replace flashing and nail down singhles on one side of roof. I was not happy since they didn't even look at other side of roof. Since my $200 +79 was worth their effort of 4 hours I am OK with the service provided. However, I felt that they are giving this deal to generate more business. and chnging of flushing was not necessary. Anyway I was happy with Brian and hence I am giving A other wise I would have given B."

"More drama certainly than I'd hoped or intended with this transaction:
- Took a fair bit of effort to communicate, coordinate, and see the project through
- Weather-Tite asserted that the roof had hail damage, necessitating engagement of insurance assessor who (maybe unsurprisingly) disagreed; ultimately no action was taken based on the differing assessments of this unplanned issue
- When work was ultimately performed, there was an incident wherein a caulk gun was dropped off the roof and onto our car's windshield and hood, necessitating windshield replacement and body work
- On the latter, Weather-Tite immediately took responsibility and did pay for this, but again payment receipt took some prodding and reminding before it was finally received

FAQs for natural slate roofing installation and replacement projects in China Grove, NC

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.
