"Clearly the best of the bunch. Very honest in accessing the roof and estimating the associated costs. While we are not going forward with reroofing at this point in time, we will be contacting Nick at Bormann Brothers when we do!"

"In the summer of 2024, D S Construction replaced my old roof with a new roof. The project went very well from start to finish. The crew were efficient and professional and I am very happy with the appearance of the new roof. I look forward to working with this company on future projects."

"We spent all summer talking with siding contractors. All of them disappointed us for various reasons (costs, games, delays). We finally contacted Lakewoods Remodeling, and we are very glad we did. Their pricing was very reasonable, and they did not play games. They started when they said they would start. They finished when they said they would finish. They used high quality materials. They did high quality work. They showed concern for making everything look good (and it does). To summarize, the value they provided was excellent. We would definitely use them again, and we highly recommend them."

"Kaufman did a wonderful job on the roof. Despite our high and steep roof, they did the whole job in one day and throughly cleaned up afterwards. Would highly recommend for a roof replacement."

FAQs for natural slate roofing installation and replacement projects in Farmington, MN

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.
