"It went great. We could not be more pleased. So impressed with Brandon and his crew. They completed the job in one day even with the 100 degree temp we had yesterday. The crew worked from sun up to sun down literally including clean up. The roof looks great. Brandon even removed some wasps nests the day he came out to give us a quote. Great all around service. We would highly recommend T Rock Roofing for your roofing needs. We are now planning to hire him to replace our fence."

"We just had our roof replaced by Platform Construction and Roofing, 817-776-0302 Truly the first firm that were 100% honest, transparent in costs, timely in communications and did excellent work. Top of the line materials: shingles, and gutters. They reworked and stopped a roof leak on our screened in porch that the original installation company never could repair. They did a power wash of our cedar fence and restained. It looks brand new!! We enjoyed getting to know our Project Manager Desmond and his boss Ryan. We plan on using them for a upcoming bathroom update. I was impressed that masks were worn and safe social distancing was always maintained. Titled: +Local Honest Contractor"

"Ronald & Lucia Lon Smith provided great service from my initial call of scheduling a roofing inspection for damages and to determine if it was necessary to replace the roof. Lon Smith’s professional estimator was onsite during the Insurance inspection as the roof was evaluated for damages and insurance claim review. Working on our behalf with the insurance claims professional all areas of the roof were thoroughly inspected and all damaged acknowledged. Lon Smith provided a comprehensive roof replacement estimate that was easy to understand. The work was completed timely and the roof looks great. I will absolutely recommend Lon Smith Roofing to any family member and any friend that has a roofing repair or replacement need."

"Had my roof done by this company a few days back and could not be more satisfied. Mike is a very personable and reliable guy. I trust that he gave me a fair price for my roof and used high-quality materials. The price was considerably lower than a couple other estimates I had received. They got the job done very quick, and it was a smooth, easy process. My roof looks fantastic, I highly recommend this company."

"The experience was good. I had played phone tag with the owner for a few days, or the manager. We had a communication barrier with the crew that came out because I didn?t speak Spanish. They spoke some English, but whenever I called the manager, he would call me back. They did a beautiful job. It was rough trying to make sure they understood and I understood everything, but the end product was beautiful. 

Once they got here, they stayed busy the entire time. They cleaned up after themselves, took everything that they couldn?t fit into a trash can with them.  For instance, the long gutters, they took with them to dispose of them. It didn?t even look like they had even been here and it looked so much prettier. We had a severe storm, I think it was Saturday. I haven?t really been outside, but as far as I know the gutters are still there. They are on the front and they still look great. It something happens, I will be the first to complain. 

I think, I took the Angie?s List special which was $695. I asked for the leafless gutter, I don?t know how much it was, but that cost extra. It was to keep the leaves from getting in the gutters. They are supposed to bill me for that, but I don?t expect it to be more than $200 or $300, probably a couple of hundred dollars. It was scary though, because of the communication barrier. It was scary though, because of the communication barrier. I wouldn?t have bought it, without it coming up on Angie?s List. The gutters really needed to be replaced. I was so impressed with the gutters that I had to thank the gutters, for standing all these years; because they took a beating and you could really tell it when the new ones were installed. 


Part of the difficulty was catching up with each other. They made the initial contact quickly and then it was 2 weeks before they could come out. Then they got a cancelation and thy showed up, so it was like I had to be very flexible. I felt like I was the one being flexible. He said he would be there around 2:00, and he apologized because they didn?t show up until 4:00, but they were gone by 6:00. There were 4 or 5 guys that they sent out here, so what?s there to complain about. If they had been there until 8:00, I might have been upset. I mean, they just like came out and they were done. I think it was 3 guys and a lady. They have got an ?A? rating as long as the gutters are still there next year.

FAQs for natural slate roofing installation and replacement projects in Gainesville, TX

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.
