"We live in a house that has a flat roof. It's also down a hill so you look down at my roof as you approachmy home. That's why the appearance is so important to us. I had several "flat roof experts" come look at the job and walk away. Bill (the son) didn't even blink. He immediately gave us the confidence needed to know these guys are the real deal. They took two layers of tar & gravel roof off my house and installed a high tech membrane and insulation. They had to drop the old roof down to the ground then hump it up the stairs into the dumpster. They came with 9 guys, Antonio was the crew chief. The nicest guys. And when they left, my property looked clean, without a single shrub or flower out of place. And the new roof is beautiful. Bill (the father) was here to supervise and really added to our confidence and satisfaction. I don't write a lot of reviews, but these guys deserve the shout out."

"I recently had my shingle roof replaced by Royal Roofing & Siding, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. The team was professional, courteous, and completed the project on schedule. They took the time to explain the different shingle options and made sure everything was installed properly. The new roof looks fantastic and has completely improved the appearance of my home. The crew cleaned up thoroughly after the job, and the entire experience was stress-free. If you’re looking for a trustworthy roofing company for a shingle roof replacement, I highly recommend Royal Roofing & Siding."

"PHENOMENAL! I wanted to have a new layer of shingles placed on my roof because I had a leak and only one layer on my roof and I was told I could have up to three layers. I was only having the problem with a leak on my roof during the winter. County Roofing Systems inspected my home and said they would not recommend doing another layer. They recommended striping the roof so they could install ice shield and inspect the plywood panels on my roof. It turned out to be the best advice, because I did not have ice shield on my existing roof and two of my panels needed to be replaced. If I had just done another layer I would have had the same leaking problem. I appreciate the good advice. My roof looks great and is leak free. County Roofing Systems did a great job. Very Clean & Neat! Very Professional!"

"Unbelievably well...the crew was so tedious about the job and neat as well. When the old roof came off and they left for the day you would have never known they were here except for their equipment in the yard. They actually cleaned the roof dust off of my neighbors houses before they left for the day. And Pete the owner never took a dollare until the work was done. That is Confidence in your work!!!! And trust in people...The finished product looks magnificent! I have already referred him to 3 people and will continue to sing the praises of Thermo Siding Corp. Thank you! Also, the best price around for such exceptional work!"

FAQs for natural slate roofing installation and replacement projects in Fishers Island, NY

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.
