"I highly recommend this company. My insurance company tried to lowball me after storm damage. However, this awesome roofing company met the appraiser at my home and pointed out all the damage the insurance company conveniently overlooked. Due to their help, they got the insurance to cover the whole job. The roofing company is fast, very hardworking and very professional. I’ve recommended them to my friends, neighbors and family members. Personally I have used this company twice with incredible results."

"On the first day, the work crew arrived at 7:45AM and began putting tarps around the house to catch the old tiles, felt, and nails; they also removed statuary from around the house so it would not be broken.  The crew was tearing off the old tile and felt before 8:00AM.  There were thirteen in the crew including the foreman.  Some of the workers were tearing off, some of the workers were gathering up the old items and tossing them down onto tarps, being careful to avoid vegetation, and the rest of the crew were stacking and then placing the old tiles and felt into a trailer to be hauled away.  The crew stopped for a half hour lunch and began working as hard afterwards.  My mother's house is quite large, so they removed the old roofing material from only the main part of the house, leaving the separate laundry room and garage for the next day.  After the ground crew was finished picking up the large pieces, they spent time cleaning the area over and over again with long magnates and even detailing the yard carrying a 5 gallon bucket.  Just as it began getting dark, the crew finished replacing the last hip and ridge and the final cleanup.  The next morning, before the crew arrived, I walked the grounds and found only a handful of small pieces of trash and no nails!  The crew again arrived before 8:00AM, they quickly stripped the remaining roof and started the cleaning process all over again.  By Noon or a little after, the crew was completely finished with the job and the project manager and I walked the grounds again, finding only a couple handfuls of trash.  I checked the house the next day and found some nails in the ceiling that had "popped" because of the hammering on the roof.  I also walked the roof and discovered a few areas that I wasn't quite satisfied with...I notified the project manager and the crew came back two days later (due to inclement weather) and repaired the areas properly, even repairing the nail "pops" inside the house.  Mr. Troy Hake has a wonderful crew and you will be very well satisfied with their knowledge and work ethics if you have the opportunity to hire this contractor!!"

"Jenna and Lynn provided detailed explanations of the work to be done; answered our questions in detail; and interacted with the insurance adjuster. They provided updates as the work progressed. The crew was hardworking. The cleanup after the project completion was excellent. At the completion, they provided a review of all work performed. All the TAPS people were professional throughout the work. We highly recommend them for your roofing needs."

"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."

"Fast and excellent work. They also removed 3 chimneys at a fair price. I have referred them to my neighbor which had a metal roof installed. Referred to our friends who also had them install a new roof. Very happy with their work."

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.
