"The overall process went very well. Michael came out to my condo several times. He's very professional and he dealt with my annoying property manager very well. I was impressed Michael was able to come out in the evening so i didn't have to take off from work to look at samples and discuss the project. He even left a window with my property manager for a few days to examine! All the visits and installers came on time which in my experience is never the case. In fact the installers came early! They were very quick, they did 9 windows in a little over 3 hours. I must say these windows are the best looking windows and cheapest out of all 5 other quotes i got. I opted for the brushed nickel hardware upgrade. They look slick! There was a period of time where communication was great but there was a reason for that and it's not common. Also when i was attaching blinds after the install, i noticed window coming through the top of one of the windows. I contacted Acorn and Michael came back out and fixed the issues. He then inspected all the windows inside and out and answered all my annoying questions. During his inspection he noticed one window was missing a clip to tilt it. He came again and installed that. I honestly didn't even notice the clip, so that shows he was really inspecting and put pride his the quality of his work. Overall i'm very pleased, the difference from my original 1987 single pane windows and these new ones is night and day!"

"Connor, our sales rep, was extremely knowledgeable, helpful in explaining the process of getting a new roof, and extremely thorough with his inspection. As for the installation, the project manager, Mike, was an extreme pleasure to work with, as he was persistent in making sure the crew and dumpster arrived as scheduled. I was absolutely amazed at how efficient and timely the crew was throughout the whole process of the install, and they made sure that if anyone was home, they were mindful when working of people coming in and out of the house. I would highly recommend this company to anyone looking to get new gutters, windows, siding, or roof! The process was super easy, the price was manageable, and they offer great financing as well in order to work within your monthly budget, especially for the quality of the roof."

"Exclusivity at its finest! The meticulous installation of a masonry steps cricket or saddle diverts water away from the chimney, preventing potential leaks and water damage to the roof. Sam Your work always stands out from the rest."

"I am very impressed with ANB Constructions. They did a complete rip off and replacement of my old roof, installed new gutters, and completely rebuilt and replaced my garage roof. Everything was done on time, and at a very reasonable price. Clean up after they were finished was perfect. I would recommend them to anyone."

FAQs for natural slate roofing installation and replacement projects in Fairfield, NJ

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.
