"It was wonderful. They were prompt and professional. Replaced the roof with no mess. We went through a tornado two years after it was replaced and not a single shingle lifted."

Customers say: True professional

"The work was to construct a roof over my existing concrete deck. Their customer service is excellent and they treat you as a long lost friend or family member. They constructed the roof in a timely manner with excellent skill and workmanship. The final project was beyond my expectations. This is the third project they have done for me and every time the finished product was very professional and completed in a timely manner. I would recommend this contractor to anyone and have done so to my friends."

"Their man Steve offered to take our chimney down, frame in the hole and shingle over it. The problem is Steve and his one Latin worker abandoned my chimney "INSIDE" our attic soffit. Which interestingly enough does not even meet code in Columbia Mo. where they are located. In the meantime my health has deteriorated rapidly over the past five years. It seems that an abandoned Chimne in this manner sets the home up for what is called "The Stacking Effect". It is also a hug No No to close (or in this case not close) or cap a chimney. As it can cause a myriad of problems like water intrusion, mold, bug's and a whole lot of dust being sucked from the open stack and blown all over our home the last five years. I got a hold of Brandon and then later Joe Burns from CoMo by email and voiced my concerns. Joe wrote me back and said they were not 'insulation specialists". I have offered twice to mediate this with them to no avail.You know what else they are not is stone masons or Chimney sweeps!"

FAQs for natural slate roofing installation and replacement projects in Columbia, MO

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.
