"I am a residential home owner who had a storm knock over a tree into our detached garage. My wife and I met with numerous contractors, with Eagle Eye and the owner Nick being the first. After each subsequent meeting, we kept coming back to Nick. His knowledge of the process, personable nature, and enthusiasm for the job led us to choose Eagle Eye, and we couldn't be happier. The work was extremely well done, the process was quick and efficient, and the clean up was incredibly thorough. Eagle Eye was able to coordinate all repairs, including roof and truss replacement, wall panel repair, and garage door replacement, with simplicity and ease. The new roof, gutter system and garage doors look fantastic-it's like an entirely new garage! We are absolutely thrilled with Eagle Eye and their work, and can't thank Nick enough. I would heartily recommend Eagle Eye to anyone needing roofing work done, and when we need to replace the roof on our home, we will be calling Eagle Eye! Travis F. Akron home owner"

"I had Renew put on a new roof for me and it looks amazing! From start to finish their sale person and project managers were in constant contact ensuring we were satisfied with the product during and after the installation. The product looked amazing and they did an awesome job going around and cleaning up. We have dogs and were worried that nails or sharp objects would be left behind and even with a strong magnet I did not find a single nail. I would highly recommend them for any project. You can shop around but you won’t find more down to earth and honest people to work with."

"Full roof replacement, obviously very experienced installation crew. Great job, looks good. Crew also had good support that kept me up to date on the project's scheduling. I appreciated the person at Home Genius who reviewed the order and texted mew that for the color of shingles I picked brown molding around the chimney would look better than the black I chose."

"I couldn’t ask for a better contractor to trust with my projects than Phil and the WeBuild Construction crew. I went to Phil with a vision of what we wanted, he provided excellent input and help us build our project and turned in into reality. Exceptional craftsmanship and attention to detail. Creativity and willingness to customize and make our building exactly what we wanted. It went from a basic bare bones pole building to a custom built rough cut lumber lean-to/sitting area add on and an awesome loft that wouldnt have been possible without him helping us build our vision into something special. Aside from our pole barn build, he has done outstanding work adding sliding barn doors and repairing our 100 yr old barn with slate roof. Not much the WeBuild crew couldnt do. Cant recommend them enough!"

"The guys at Rustic Slate Roofing are reliable and skilled roofers. For my more extensive work, they showed up early and stayed until the end of the day, and came back until they were finished with the project. I had a prior contractor charge me a lot to supposedly fix my leaking flat roof (so they just don't do slate) and 2 years later, it was leaking again. Stefan from Rustic Slate said the fix was just temporary, so the flat roofed was repaired again and this time the right way. Rustic Slate has done a great job and I plan to use them for more roof work that I will need to do on my Shaker Hts house. I highly recommend!!!!"

"Pioneer Roofing tore off two layers of old roofing and installed my beautiful new roof today. They were professional, on time and clean. Marty and his crew answered any questions I had. They were very careful around all of my landscaping which I appreciated very much. They did an exceptional job of cleaning up afterwards and did the entire job in one day! The price I was quoted- which I thought was great price (much cheaper than other quotes) is the price I paid. I would highly recommend this company! Thanks so much Marty and your crew!"

"They showed up a 7:00 AM and left at 7:00 PM at night (October dawn to dusk work) and worked for two and 1/2 days. Replaced a few boards. They were polite, respectful, professional and clean up was outstanding-never found a nail afterwards. The supervisor showed up each day to check on progress and was friendly and helpful. They were a bit on the expensive side but we have a new roof with no leaks. They also did a friends's roof later, and he had the same excellent experience."

FAQs for natural slate roofing installation and replacement projects in East Canton, 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.
