"We recently hired BT Specialty Services to replace the 30-year-old roof on an investment property, as well as rebuild the wraparound porch?and we couldn?t be more pleased with how much value we received for such a reasonable price. Branden and Travis worked hard, and the results speak for themselves: the new roof looks fantastic, and the porch has given the property a fresh new life. He also patched siding and built a small covered porch on the side of our own home. It turned out lovely, and we?re grateful for the work they put into it. We really appreciate Branden?s work ethic, his honesty, and his willingness to take on a variety of jobs. It means a lot to be able to support a local business with strong community ties. We look forward to working with him again in the future?and would definitely recommend BT Specialty Services to anyone looking for reliable, value-driven work and a contractor who cares about doing a good job!"

"Chris and Aaron worked with us to help figure out where the mildew smell was coming from. We just bought a house and the back bedroom smelled awful. They replied to our request for an estimate ASAP. We couldn't be happier with the service I received from them! We had some damaged siding and a leaky window that needed immediate attention. They responded quickly, assessed the situation thoroughly, and provided a clear, affordable estimate. Being a local company, they were able to schedule the repairs much faster than other companies I contacted. The work itself was top-notch; the siding looks seamless, and the window is now perfectly sealed. What truly impressed me was their trustworthiness. They were honest about the necessary repairs, didn't try to up-sell anything, and kept me informed throughout the entire process. If you're looking for a reliable, affordable, and talented siding company, we highly recommend them!"

Adding space to your home is one of the best ways to increase the current use and long-term value of your home. Whether you are remodeling or adding, we can help you to maximize the space to your needs and increase its value and appeal.
"I had a terrible experience with Jesse James Roofing. They installed a roof on my house that ended up leaking, and I had to spend months arguing with them to get a repair. Unfortunately, the repairs didn’t work, and the leaks persist. A teenager—presumably Jesse's son—was overseeing the job, and after asking a few basic questions he couldn't answer, and I asked for someone more qualified to manage the work, I was told I was being arrogant. They refused. We’ve been dealing with this issue for over a year, facing ongoing water damage and stress every time it rains, having to place towels to catch the leaks. We’ve requested a refund, but they refuse. I highly recommend avoiding Jesse James Roofing."

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.
