"S&R Roofing replaced the underlayment and broken tiles on the roof of my twenty-two-year-old home. After Charlie provided a reasonable quote with whom I scheduled for the roofing project, Brian arrived with five hard working and dedicated roofers along with a trailer for discarded materials. Luis (Team Leader), Cesar, Leticia, Rober and Samuel appeared energetic and hardy throughout the process. It was apparent that these five crew members were knowledgeable and skilled in roofing and enjoyed their craft as they were never seen without a smile and on occasion while working, could be heard singing (on key)! During the process, John arrived to verify materials and secured the delivery of additional supplies. The company owners, managers and work crew were on time, informative, hardworking, and invested in completing the detailed project. They were upbeat, friendly, and appeared to really care about the work they performed. The project included the replacement of plywood, metal drip edges, battens, rib valleys, roof jacks and weather block material. As I await my appointment to have the final inspection completed with Tony, I could not be happier with selecting S&R Roofing to provide replacements that are in alignment with current roofing codes. They are rock star status roofers and the real deal!!"

"I was told that I needed a new roof on my 3 year old house. JE came out and confirmed that I was being misled and that my roof was indeed fine. I appreciate the honesty and integrity. Definitely recommend JR Roofing for work."

"We had roof storm damage from the Monsoon this summer. German roofing was the best bid to replace the entire roof, and had the best warranty as well. Manuel, Dianna, Lu, and the installers were great. Good communication via email and phone calls. We are very pleased with the final outcome, and the roof looks fantastic. Thank you all!"

"I recently had my house painted by AZ Grand Roofing and Painting and am very happy with the results. John Shaw, owner, was extremely helpful in assisting me with color choices. He made the decision process uncomplicated and even went the extra mile by personally obtaining the approval from my HOA. He also cleaned, patched and applied a coating to my patio roof. He was on the job daily, always working in a professional and courteous manner. I was especially pleased that he returned several times after the project was completed to ensure my satisfaction. He and his son, Hunter, were wonderful to work with."

"New roof needed on my porch. They came earlier than anticipated and completed the job in 3 hours. They were totally professional. Cleared out the old stuff with no debris left on the ground. If I ever need another new roof, I definitely will call them. I only paid them what they estimated. Thanks guys. I will definitely recommend you to anyone who asks me."

FAQs for natural slate roofing installation and replacement projects in Gilbert, 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.
