"A leak during the last storm made it clear our flat roof in San Francisco needed more than another repair. Sean from Imperia Roofing & Exteriors came out, explained everything clearly, and helped us make the call. He stayed responsive the whole time and the job moved quickly. No issues since."

"I would strongly caution anyone considering this roofing company. We had our roof redone in July 2025, and by February we experienced water damage inside our home. After inspection, the issue appeared to be related to poorly installed flashing around a vent. Instead of taking accountability or even seriously investigating the workmanship, the company quickly dismissed the problem and claimed it was caused by an animal, therefore not covered under their warranty. This was disappointing, especially given how soon the issue occurred after a full roof replacement. A reputable company should stand behind their work and be willing to thoroughly assess potential installation issues rather than deflect responsibility. The lack of accountability and unwillingness to help resolve the damage left us dealing with repairs on our own. Based on our experience, I would recommend looking elsewhere if you want a company that stands by the quality of their work and provides reliable customer service."

"Rhinos Roofing exceeded my expectations. Miguel was able to realistically assess the job and provide me with a detailed quote. His team executed the work flawlessly. I purposely waited until the bulk of this winters rain had past before posting a review. Clearly a successful roofing job. He is also a really nice person and I have no doubt that he would be a very reasonable person to work with had any issue come up. My new roof is fantastic and it looks nice too. Pricing was reasonably as well. God Bless Rhinos Roofing! "

"I was really pleased with the new roof job Lifetime Roofing and Renovation performed for my mom's house that I decided to hire them again for my house. Tony the project manager and his crew once again knocked it out of the park. The work done efficiently and and with quality/care. My wife and I are very pleased with how the project came out. The price point for concrete tiles is what I expected given the rising costs of material and labor."

"Excellent work. Project manager spent the time to carefully inspect the existing roof, explain the results of the inspection, and provide me with options. Once the project got underway, he did an excellent job of keeping me informed of the status of the work and of any recommended changes to the original plan. Work crew was diligent."

FAQs for natural slate roofing installation and replacement projects in Corte Madera, CA

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.
