"German Roofing completed a full roof replacement for us in Jan. 2026, and replaced a skylight. They also repaired some water damage from a roof leak. They surpassed our expectations and we are very pleased. Communication was clear, the crew was punctual, and they cleaned up the site each day. The estimate was one of the lower ones we received and we are happy we chose to work with German Roofing."

"Mr. Shaw and his son are very professional. He kept us up to date on the work that was done on the roof. He presented a very reliable crew to do the work. There were two brothers that replaced the roof. We are so pleased with the roof! We would definitely hire them again. Thank you Mr. Shaw and crew for a job well done!"

"

This the third home SUNGUARD has painted for me. To start with they were very helpful working through the HOA requirements.

They were very timely and worked with my tenant to do the work at a convenient time. The painting process was very professional and they do the little extras that make the job one of the best values for the money in my opinion.

They power washed the house. sealed the cracks (you cannot tell where they were), Plus the painted under the patio roof and pointed  out that the patio roof needed sealing.  The lines where they changed colors are unbelievable straight .

"Called on a Saturday for a roof leak, Dusty came over Sunday morning, went on the roof and found the issue. He sent a quote over that evening. Quote was real good compared to other verbal estimates. I approved and he was there two days latter and made repairs! Great service, friendly, and thorough! Thanks Dusty!!"

"We just had our roof replaced and couldn't be happier. From the first moment we met Weston we knew that we were in good hands. His proposal was detailed and affordable and everything he said that would happen did happen . His crew worked very hard and they were courteous and kept things as tidy as one could with such a big job. They were very methodical and detailed about how they performed the replacement of our roof. All the pipe jacks and flashing and other trim were replaced with new. All the tiles are straight as an arrow and it really looks great. So glad we went with True-Built Roofing as the whole experience was very positive. Weston was very accessible and responsive and he runs a first class operation. Highly Recommend for your roofing needs."

"I cannot recommend Express Roofing enough. I received 7 bids for my roof project included some highly rated companies. Express Roofing was the only company to provide me with photos and a video of my roof issues. They wrote out a very exact contract and were the only company to include fascia board and ply board for the areas of concern that they saw. They cleaned up everything at the end of each day and finished a large project in 4 days. This included both the shingle roof and 2 foam flat roofs. Jenna and Jeremy were at the house every day to provide me with photos AND drone footage to show the workmanship and progress each day which I received via email. They were patient with all of my endless questions and phone calls to follow up. The roof looks amazing! They painted the T tops a good color to match the roof and new shiny whirly birds. Call Express Roofing (480) 226-4245."

FAQs for natural slate roofing installation and replacement projects in Fort Mcdowell, AZ

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.
