"3.5 years after Proven replaced our roof and gutters I reached out to them needing more gutter downspouts. i wanted to redo how the downspouts entered the underground drain pipes and need longer downspout pieces. Jenn and Dave engaged in my project, worked to understand what I needed and then dropped off two 10ft downspouts free of charge. i would have paid if they asked but they didn't! 100% A+ thanks Jenn, thanks Dave and team!!"

"While they will get the work done for the most part they work with shady loan companies and make promises they refuse to keep. They offer great loan options but don't let you know when they are swapping out the loans for something less then desirable. If your not paying fully up front and need to do it through a loan I would look else where."

"Munz Roofing was excellent from start to finish! They were communicative throughout the whole process and always came when they said they would. The crew worked extremely hard (even in the oppressive heat), did a fantastic job, and left everything looking great. Our salesperson, Andrew was knowledgeable, friendly, and made the whole process easy. Eric, our project manager, was fantastic-professional, attentive, and made sure everything ran smoothly. On top of that, the price was very fair. We couldn’t be happier with the experience and highly recommend Munz Roofing!"

"This is an extremely consolidated version of the disaster we experienced with Father & Sons (Sam) due to character count limitations. We fired them after paying them because they were unable to complete the job, and what they did do was mostly wrong. They couldn?t finish the basement renovation, and it dragged out for over four months. They quoted 3 weeks + permitting time. They installed the wrong windows. Twice! They are not to code, and they never even finished installing them. We need to contract someone new to remove and replace the windows that they failed to install. Their electrical was non-functional, not to code, and a fire hazard, according to multiple other electricians who are cleaning up their fire hazards and code violations. F&S or their subcontractors stole tools from me. Their drywall work was absolutely atrocious, with cuts missed by several inches and multiple electrical outlets left with holes that outlet covers can?t hide. They?re a very small crew"

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