"We received 2 bids to do the work on our house. George's was the lower price and he used higher grade products from the same manufacturer as the other bid we received. George also provided an 8 page detailed estimate and was much more detailed in person describing how they would complete the project. Our other estimate consisted of 1 page with 7 lines of description and required 25% down. George didn't require any money up front and that is really surprising with such a large job like ours. He also didn't put any high pressure sales pitch on us; he simply gave a broad overview of the project, answered all the questions I asked and then followed up quickly by email with a very detailed estimate for the work. George was able to start our project very quickly which was nice since a tree had fallen and caused a small hole in our roof. He showed up every day at 8AM and he and his team worked non-stop though the 90+ degree days. George didn't cut any corners and went above and beyond to finish the job professionally. His team also did little things that made our life easier like remounting our security camera and painting our exhaust pipes black so everything looked nice and new. George even came back the next week just to install an outdoor hanging light for our front porch that ended up arriving late from Amazon after all the other work had been completed. The workers were all very respectful, kept noise to a minimum (as best as you can when replacing a roof) and also were very meticulous in cleaning up afterwards. My wife is the toughest critic and she couldn't find one thing to be critical of about the outcome. We absolutely love all the work that George completed for us. Getting a major project like this completed can be a very stressful process. I'm fairly familiar with roofing and siding and had at one point considered doing this project myself. After seeing the results, I'm so thankful that I hired George instead. George made it very easy for us and we are grateful that we chose him to do our project."

"It was a wonderful experience.  They came on time, set up and did all of the work and the most important part was their clean up.  Not one piece of plaster, paint or anything was  left for me to clean up after them.  they also made sure that I knew that when I painted I would need to use Kill and then 2 coats of paint.  They were very helpful.

"Our old house on the Northside of Pittsburgh was in need of an exterior facelift and a new front porch to replace the one that had collapsed. I met with Dave LaBovick of Exceptional Exteriors and we agreed upon a price, which my wife and I found quite reasonable. The work on the vinyl siding began about a week later and took only a half a day to wrap up. The job was done to our complete satisfaction, The before and after is like night and day. Another crew arrived a few days later to do the porch and sidewalk. They began work on a Thursday afternoon and were finished 24 hours later. Once again, we are very happy with the result. In both cases, they removed all debris and left-over building materials associated with the job. We are not only completely satisfied with the work that Exceptional Exteriors did for us, we are looking forward to hiring them again for our next home project."

"I had interviewed 2 other roofers but these guys impressed me. The actual work was even better! I’m expecting to be dry for the rest of my life. They left and the only sign that they had been here was the nicest roof in the neighborhood. You need these guys!"

"We were just never able to connect to schedule the work.  No one ever reached out to me to confirm or schedule anything.  It wasn’t any kind of negative experience, and the project I had in mind started just taking a different direction.  I would like a refund."

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