"I recently had my shingle roof replaced by Royal Roofing & Siding, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. The team was professional, courteous, and completed the project on schedule. They took the time to explain the different shingle options and made sure everything was installed properly. The new roof looks fantastic and has completely improved the appearance of my home. The crew cleaned up thoroughly after the job, and the entire experience was stress-free. If you’re looking for a trustworthy roofing company for a shingle roof replacement, I highly recommend Royal Roofing & Siding."

"Ed and Mike are top notch! They are professional, hard working, and know what they're doing. They removed and replaced a cedar shake roof on our shed within 3 days and were courteous and friendly despite all of the rain that they worked through. They also installed a skylight that looks great. Ed and Mike know their craft well, I recommend them highly!!!"

"Highly recommend from Express Way Roofing. They sent a professional team to measure for the replacement of my skylight and explained the complete installation process. When the skylight arrived they prepped the areas inside and outside my home with drop cloths to ensure job cleanliness. After rebuilding the curb the skylight was installed and sealed. Excellent service! And I love my new skylight."

"My initial call to Quality received a quick response.  The roof was carefully  examined as was the siding and sagging roof overhang   I received a thorough explanation of the work needed with a detailed guide to the way the roof would be redone to insure a high quality job.  I had 3 other quotes from others  and Quality  was much more thorough.  The contractor showed me a book detailing how the work would be done.  This job is  backed up by the roof manufacturer.   The manufacturer will inspect the roof for quality of the job within 5 weeks.   Anything short of the high standards set will be corrected.  The job comes with a 25 year labor and 50 year material guarantee.  Also the warrantee is transferable to new owners if i sell the house.
 I provided a small deposit and within two weeks the dumpster, shingles and workman arrived on time.They had at different times  during the day up to 9 men working.  They said the job would be done in one day and it was.  The word that came to mind while watching the men work was professionalism.  They really knew what they were doing.  I had 3 roofs to do.  When  one roof was done , one crew started to place the underlayment and remove flashing to get into corners.   The process went smoothly. There were large amounts of shingles removed and all day these were carried to the dumpster.  The roof was on by late afternoon.    The drooping roof was reinforced and the siding done while new flashing was placed around the  chimney.  They finished in the dark by 630 pm.  Sure were hard working guys.
 The clean up was very well done .Tarps were placed all over and no damage was done.  By the next day the dumpster was removed.  
 The roof looks beautiful and has been tested  by 2 heavy rain storms.  Another positive point was a supervisor  was there to check on and off all day.
A few minor problems were followed up quickly.
This is the second time I used Angies.  The first was excellent and the second equally so.

FAQs for natural slate roofing installation and replacement projects in Holtsville, NY

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.
