"Mike took the time to explain to me the work he would do; no question on my part was too much. I had a big concern about the mismatched slate on my roof. Because of the age of the roof and the natural fading that has taken placed, I questioned finding the right Vermont slate. Mike assured me that he could match my Vermont slate, and he did. I now have a uniform colored roof. Mike and Chris were on time and worked in a very professional manner. In addition, as he and Chris did the work, when he saw something else that needed a bit of attention, they took care of it. In all 37+ slates were addressed. Mike will be the person I call to maintain my roof."

"The take away: Impressive! I'd hire him again without any hesitation and will recommend him to anyone who needs plaster work done. I had several areas in my house that needed plaster repaired from a roof leak and from a plumbing drain stack replacement. Other companies wouldn't take on the job or wanted $6K to $8K and a week to do it. Robert came in, took a quick look and some pictures and quoted me at $1,700 and could do it all in one day! Sounded too good to be true, but with all the good reviews he has, I hired him. He wasn't booked up, so I hired him on Monday and he scheduled the work Thursday and then finished everything in a half day. I think everything is done extremely well! The new plaster blends right into the old plaster. And that's the thing - it's plaster. He's able to do it in one day because he puts up sheet rock and plasters over it rather than putting up drywall and putting layers and layers of joint compound on the seams, which requires time to dry, then sanding, repeat. With plaster, you put it on once, smooth it out, let it dry and it's done, and frankly looks better that way. Anyway, I have absolutely nothing but good things to say about the experience and highly recommend Robert!"

"Firstly, this review is two years after the fact because both spouses thought that the other spouse had posted a review! (I know!...our apologies!) More importantly, this is a first-rate company with high standards for both their work and their employees!! We will definitely return to this company for any future work we require. Workers were always punctual, good-natured, and respectful of our property. The project was a tear-off of a porch tar roof and replace with metal roofing. Also, the second-floor surrounding wood shakes were replaced with siding that resembled wood shakes. Rotted wood soffit was replaced, painted and matched to existing soffit. A spotlight was replaced in that same area. The leaking roof had brought down plaster inside the house; the ceiling was patched and painted to match the existing ceiling. Two years later and the work looks great with no problems. Again, will definitely return to this company in future."

"It went well. Painting was done well with no spills or messes. Touch-ups to plaster at times needed to be smoother.  However, once this was pointed out, touch-up was improved. Price was fair and Rick worked hard to get the job, met the lowest estimate of five others.

"Overall it went well. Ian James was great throughout the entire process!! He was very good at explaining the process and answering all questions. He showed us all materials being used, explained quality & choices and was NEVER pushy. He often had to explain things in different ways so that I was following along, he always did so without any issues. He treated me like he would his mom. He was very knowledgeable on the product & the business. I like that the business is locally owned & by a veteran no less. Ian, who was my initial contact throughout the process was great as were others whom I came into contact with employed by the company, including the man dropping off supplies and Dumpster. James who helped deal with my insurance company was awesome as well. My only issues were with the non-English speaking installation staff-subcontractors. My other issues dealt with no one in "charge" on sight to deal with any issues/problems questions that arose during installation. The workers were not impolite, just didn't speak english & didn't want to be bothered. They worked fast, did excellent work and used great materials. My roof looks great!! However, my big complaint is that there is no one on sight to manage the crew. This is an issue with most companies who use subcontractors, whether they speak English or not. But with them all either not speaking any English or very broken English, it was very hard to communicate issues when they arose. Ian took my calls and listened to my issues, but he isn't the one who is supposed to be on site & often couldn't get a hold of anyone who was supposed to be on site. If anyone came on site, they didn't introduce themselves or aknowledge who they were. An employee of the company should be on site to deal with any issues that arise and communicate between subcontractors & client, at a minimum of beginning, middle and especially end of project being finished. And I as homeowner should know how to contact them. Ian was always great and tried to answer any questions I had, but honestly that job should have fallen on site employee. Another issue was cleaning up during and after roof was being installed. It was a windy day, but there were 9-10 men on the roof, someone could have gotten down to clear up debris at intervals. Nails left in driveway & debris all over our lawn after they left. We have small puppy so our yard was dangerous for days. I just found debris in yard today, several months after the fact. My husband & I had to do a lot of the clean up due to wanting puppy to be safe. So to conclude.. Ian was great, Roof installed was beautiful and quality workmanship/products. The installation staff was subpar as far as communication, cleanliness and accountablity. I got a great roof installed with quality products. I am overall happy with our roof! Ian took down all my complaints and said he would express those complaints to his boss."

FAQs for natural slate roofing installation and replacement projects in Greensburg, PA

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.
