"Roof was installed ahead of schedule. As we were replacing a clay tile roof with asphalt shingles, Eugene & team did a great job covering up some of the tan lines the old tile roof left on our paint. The reason for the quality ding: There was an issue with air flow to the roof we discovered years later and Eugene has been very responsive to help get the roof air flow dialed in appropriately. Once the air flow update is finished I will be sure to increase the quality score up by a star or two. He's a great friendly and timely roofer who I'd recommend for anybody in the area."

"We needed a new roof including new sheeting. Our roof was a 23 year old composite roof with 3/8" sheeting. We received 3 bids from different roofing companies. All of the bids came in within a few hundred dollars of each other. We decided to go with A Better Roofing Company because of reviews, their history in the area dating back to 1991, and the professionalism of Daniel who wrote up the estimate. We received the estimate in October 2018 and the job was completed in December 2018. Scheduling was a difficult because of the rainy days. The crew started on a friday and finished on sunday. The crew worked right thru until the job was done. When i had my extimate done i had choosen white flashing around the roof to match the facia board. The crew mistakenly installed dark flashing that matched the black roof we choose. When I did the walk through after the job was completed with Michael right before Christmas i pointed that out. He immediately said they would come out and replace it with the correct flashing. Since Christmas was a few days away I related to Michael that they could come out anytime after Christmas, no hurry. The next day when i got home from work it was all replaced. That was being responsive! The roof is beautiful and solid. I would recommend A Better Roofing Company to everyone."

"Working with Sam and his team was a delight. I had gone through seven or eight other roofing companies. They wouldn't answer the phone or return messages, they would miss appointments for quotes with no warning. A couple didn't even bother climbing up on the roof to evaluate the problem. Working with Sam and his team was a dream by comparison. His communication was rapid and thorough. People showed up when they said they would. He was very responsive to questions via phone or email. The original estimate missed a few things, but before we signed the contract, Sam did another thorough walkthrough and provided the pros and cons of each possible solution. We had to wait a while for the weather to cooperate, but Sam continued to communicate on potential schedule. When the team was able to arrive, they were like machines. They stripped the shingles, most of the plywood, replaced the rafter tails, added new plywood, added /replaced vents, and re-shingled the roof in a day and a half. The quality of the work is superb, and looks fantastic to boot. I couldn't have been happier with the work. They even did a great job of cleaning up and carting away the debris, going so far as to taking a magnet to the lawn to clean up any dropped nails. I can highly recommend Forever Roofing's services."

"I hired Atlas roofing for my roof rework on two units. They were very professional and straight forward from the beginning (estimate) no sales pressure, no drama, very straight forward and presented the materials right. Pricing I feel was very fair / if not a steal after I saw how well of a job they did on my house. My only complaint was that my project manager went on vacation so there was some miscommunication with the details of my work but Berry handled it in a very professional manner and was very responsive in my communication with him. I will definitely recommend Atlas roofing to all my friends and family! Great job."

"We hired TEAM Roofing for a roof replacement for 4 townhomes. The experience was unmatched. We have worked with many contractors over the years and they were absolutely wonderful to work with. From the initial evaluation and quote, to the quality of materials and careful supply to the outstanding installation and post installation follow-up. Well done and would highly recommend if you are in the market for a roof. They answered all questions and concerns promptly and did a wonderful job. The installation team cleaned every area that they worked in and were so friendly and professional. Great job, and many thanks!"

"Omer & Eddie designed & built our new deck. They did all the drawings, submitted to the city for permits, scheduled the work and completed the install. The scope was very clear and timeline was communicated pretty well. "

"Gabriel was fast, efficient, and fairly priced. He found the problem that caused our initial leak, which was a poorly installed skylight. He did troubleshooting and came up with an effective solution. Very good clean-up after work was completed. He checked in later to make sure we were satisfied. Good man and good work!"

"My wife and I were hopeful when we booked Rain City to work on windows (16 windows) and to replace our front porch, which was leaking down into the basement. We decided to go with Rain City after reading reviews online and comparing prices with other companies. In the end, our enthusiasm and excitement were grossly checked. The big sell for us was that they would work on our porch which needed immediate work. We also liked that the sales rep wasn’t too pushy. We also plan to get new siding, and we were hoping that Rain City would work out for this later project. Timeline and communications seemed to be the biggest issues for us. We signed on with them August 1st. The sales rep assured us that we would receive a phone call from the project manager in 48 hours. That didn’t happen. We ended up having to contact the sales rep to get the project manager to come out two weeks after signing. We were told it would take 4-5 weeks to build the windows and that they would be back to install them roughly at the end of September/beginning of October. We had also been told by the sales rep that the whole project would take 5 days total (3 days to install windows and 2 days for the porch). When the windows (11 of the total) were delivered to our doorstep in mid-October, they said they would be out to work the next day, a Friday. They didn’t end up coming until the following Tuesday afternoon. In about 2 and a half days of work, they installed the 11 windows (we still had some windows not delivered) and they took off the railing of our porch. During this time, they installed a wrong window that was not included in the contract. When we saw this, we were very confused how they could’ve installed a completely wrong window not on the order. (Luckily for us, they offered to leave it in at no cost.) They also broke a window pane installing the window. (We brought this to their attention and they promised this would be fixed—which it was eventually fixed in January). Then we didn’t see them until November, when they came back to work on the porch and to fix the window sills. (We had to ask them to fix the window sills, since we complained to them that the insulation in our walls was exposed where gaps between the window and the sills were. It seemed to us, if we hadn’t complained, this wouldn’t have been fixed.) They also returned in December to finish the remaining windows—which in October or November, the project manager disclosed to us that they had forgotten to order these windows. In the end, it was an exhaustive process working with Rain City. Besides not communicating very well when they would arrive to our house to work, it was sometimes hard to get messages returned from the project manager. Also it didn’t seem to us that there was good communication on our original contract to the crew (i.e. installing a completely wrong window). Also when we received the final invoice they charged us an exorbitant price for 2 extra windows we had ordered in August after signing the original contract. We had inquired with the project manager throughout the fall to get a cost for these extra 2 windows. We didn’t see the price tag until the final invoice. We had to contest the costs, and they brought the price down to a more reasonable rate and they honored the labor costs outlined in our original contract. They were careful to keep the inside of our house clean, but our yard took some damage—with a couple plants destroyed and lots of small debris not cleaned up. The Rain City employees were all very respectful and friendly, and overall so was the sales rep and project manager. The windows look nice, now that they are done. The porch turned out ok. The craftsmanship of the work will be tested with time."

FAQs for natural slate roofing installation and replacement projects in Fort-lawton, WA

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.
