"Very pleased with the work Richard and his crew did. Richard went above and beyond to match the existing shingle and brought over several samples. Richard did an excellent job of explaining all work to be performed and followed through. Everything that he said happened. No unexpected costs and we paid what he quoted us. Highly recommend R&R for roof replacement!"

"The B & R team was a pleasure to work with through the whole process, from quote to paying after the job was done. We had heard water dripping onto a ceiling on our second floor during a heavy storm, and called several roofers for quotes. Five different companies came out, two of which wanted to replace the whole roof, and three that said it should just be repaired. During that process, several of the companies mentioned that our chimney needed repointing as well, so we added that to the job. Robert Jr. came out for B & R on a Monday after I had spoken with them on a Friday, and I had detailed quotes in my email that night for the work. They were quick to respond to questions by email, text, and phone. Once I got them the signed contract, they were in touch within the week to get the work scheduled, and had their mason and roofing team on site two weeks after I had gotten them the contract. A day and a half later, I had a beautifully repointed chimney with a cap, rotted wood around the base of the chimney replaced, perfect flashing, and a roof that no longer leaks at all. The team kept me informed throughout the process, letting me know about any issues they encountered and keeping me posted on their timelines. After they were done, they cleaned up the site completely (and even cleaned up the leaves and sticks that were in the driveway from a recent storm). The final price came in just slightly over the original quote because they had to replace more wood than they were originally expecting around the base of the chimney - it took more materials and more time than what was covered under the original estimate, but only cost a little more than the quote. All in all a great process, and I'd highly recommend Robert Jr. and the team at B & R for any roofing or chimney related work that you need."

"Excellent. From initial contact Roofer's Edge was responsive. The installation crew was excellent and the gutters blend in with the trim color and are barely noticeable. We would definitely recommend them without hesitation."

"After 3 decades of every few years replacing various pieces of rotted wood trim on our house with PVC I decided to take the leap and replace all the wood trim that had the potential to rot all at once. LCT Construction had just done an excellent job replacing my roof and I picked them for the trim work. The salesman James who I worked with was more knowledgeable than all the others I've dealt with, was direct when discussing various options and details, and was committed to doing quality work. It's hard to judge these days, but I think their price was very reasonable. At the beginning of the work James came by and we reviewed exactly what was to be done to make sure there were no misunderstandings. The day before work started they dropped off the material they needed for the job along with a dumpster (with wood under the skids to protect the driveway) for the discarded wood. The workers were here every week day with the exception of 1 rainy day even on days in late November when it was very cold until the job was complete. Each day they started around 8:00 am and didn't leave until it got dark, and they cleaned up before they left. All my interaction with everyone on the crew was friendly and relaxed and we were happy to have them around. On the last day they cleaned everything up and removed the dumpster that evening. Every aspect of their work was excellent. I'm no expert, but I've had a lot of trim repaired over the years and this is the best I've seen. I couldn't ask for better workmanship. During the work they discovered some rot that needed to be repaired. They did it for a reasonable charge, and there was never any attempt to up sell or expand the scope of work. The only negative was that they told me the day before the agreed starting date that they needed to slip by 2 weeks. I wish that hadn't occurred but compared to everything else it's not significant. If I ever need trim or roofing work again I'll definitely contact LTC. They were completely professional and easy to work with, did exactly what they said they'd do with no hassle, and I couldn't ask for a better result. I recommend them without reservation for any roof or trim work."

"Excellent communication! Perhaps the best I’ve seen from a contractor. While waiting to get installation done, they checked in with me on dates and always called me back if I had questions. The took a look at the roof and suggested fixing the chimney first . We had that capped and some bricks replaced with a contractor they referred. The following week they came and did the roof and leaf gutters in 1 day. They cleaned up very well afterward. When I saw a lose shingle in the yard this spring, I called them and they sent someone out to look right away (it was just an extra shingle). The were great to work with and I would not hesitate to hire them again."

"The team is extremely efficient and very easy to communicate. They stripped a old slate roof and installed new asphalt in under a day. Their price was the cheapest and I would definitely hire them again."

"Eddie and his team of workers did an amazing job replacing my gutters; even after the late deliver. I am truly amazed at the quality and the speed of these men, they were very knowledgeable about the work they do and very clean. They installed my gutters in less then 2 hours, and made sure around my yard was clean. I will strongly recommend Couto Construction for all projects in door or out door. Keep up the good work gentlemen. Sincerely, A Happy customer -Bill"

"Replacing your home’s siding is probably one of the biggest home improvement projects you’re ever going to undertake in your lifetime as a homeowner. It’s certainly one of the most expensive. There’s a lot that goes into making this decision. First, you have to determine your budget. Then, you need to decide on the type of siding you want (cheapest? most expensive? somewhere in the middle?), the color, but most importantly, WHO is going to do the work. Finding the right contractor, for me, is the most important part of this process. Let’s face it, siding is siding is siding and unless you’re looking for some type of specialized product, replacement siding is pretty much the same from contractor to contractor. You can’t say the same thing about the company that you hire to do the job. You must feel comfortable with the contractor, and, perhaps most importantly, you must feel that they aren’t taking advantage of you and that they are going to follow through on the terms that are outlined in the contract that you sign with them. My wife and I found all of this and more with Hector Cabrera and his company, Emmaty. After we decided to move forward with residing our house, we researched companies in the area (we didn’t want to use a national chain) and my wife found Emmaty on Angie’s List. The overwhelmingly positive reviews really got our attention. Looking at Emmaty’s website, we also were impressed to learn that it is a family-owned company as Hector’s wife, Madeline, runs the business side of the company. That was a HUGE plus for us. When we saw the same type of reviews at the Better Business Bureau’s website, we knew we had to call for an estimate. Meeting Hector was a pleasure and we knew immediately that he knows what he’s talking about and is very passionate about his work. Within a few days of meeting us at our home, he returned with a quote to replace the siding and one leaky window, and have seamless gutters installed, all well within our budget. (Other quotes we had just for the siding were well above Emmaty’s, one as much as $12,000 more.) Along with the quote, Hector showed us a slide deck presentation on his tablet that explained the siding product they use, how the process works, and what we can expect. Hector’s crew is fantastic. They showed up on time every day and immediately set to work. They’re professional, courteous, and just don’t stop moving. Hector himself came by often to monitor their progress and check in with us to make sure we were happy with the work. He even helped install the gutters and cleaned up on the last day. To say we are happy is an understatement. Updating our home’s siding is something we’ve wanted to do for years and we are so excited and pleased that we hired Emmaty to do the job. Every day for the week they were here felt like Christmas morning because we’d walk around the house, marveling at how much work had been done and seeing the house being transformed. We cannot say enough about Hector, Madeline, and Emmaty. Customer service is THE most important factor for me when it comes to ANY type of business transaction, be it at a restaurant, store, or making a large purchase. If I don’t get good customer service, I’ll never return to that business. Hector and Emmaty are EXACTLY what we had hoped for in a contractor and we can’t wait for them to return in the spring to talk about replacing our home’s windows. We know the job will be done right by excellent people at a fair price."

"We had a short amount of time to replace the roof on our house. Glen came the next day after we called. He had a worker go up on the roof and measure. He was able to give us samples and a quote within 20 minutes. The next day, we called Glen and told him to proceed with roof replacement. We had to give a 50% deposit for materials and scheduled the work to start a couple of weeks later. The crew of about 10 men arrived on that day and immediately began stripping the roof. They did find a couple of rotted boards that they replaced. They also installed a ridge vent. The crew were excellent and polite. Even though the temperature was in the 90's and high humidity, they were able to get most of the job done that day. Glen was there at the beginning of the process and stopped by a few times during the day and at the end. They did come back the next day for a couple of hours to finish the odd corners we have. Clean up was excellent. They provided the dumpster."

FAQs for natural slate roofing installation and replacement projects in Fiskeville, RI

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.
