"Metal Roofs Direct provided us a 100% custom roof panel profile that we were looking for that no other roofing company could provide. The custom profile we created matched the style and the era of the house. Me being very particular in craftsmanship, Metal Roofs Direct worked closely with me even on a daily basis to make sure I was happy with the installation work quality. Jeremy was the lead that captured and conveyed all my wishes very well. Highly recommend Metal Roofs Direct for their integrity, craftsmanship, and the crew that works extremely hard to satisfy you as the customer. Anthony, as the project manager, worked very hard and made constant adjustments to meet my very high expectation levels. We love our new roof and the amazing experience we had with the entire crew of Metal Roofs Direct. Chad the owner, always did what was right to correct any flaws and was extremely easy to work with."

"We had our roof and siding done after a hail storm in 2022. After a few months we decided to have our roof inspected and there were a few problems brought to our attention. Holes that were caulked over and shingles that were lifting. Our siding also was falling off in places and warping. We submitted a claim, got a phone call that someone would reach out. A few weeks went by and nothing. We reached out to our contractor and he came out and looked at the issues and said it would all get taken care of in March. March has came and went, I contacted the contractor at the beginning of April and he claimed everything was ordered and should be in later that week. Here we are May 11th and we haven't heard a thing. Communication has been lacking and the quality of install was poor."

"The new roof they installed had to be ripped off and replaced in several areas they installed shingles that were missing corners and had huge divots in them. The metal valleys were all dented up and had scratches all over them to replace them they had to remove new roofing as well and replace, some of the plywood that needed to be replaced was never done and roof still had soft spots, after repairs were made again water was leaking inside the soffits and has continued to still leak, the gutters leaked on the ends as well. They claim there waiting for Owen?s Corning to come look at the roof but it?s poor install that has lead up too the roof still leaking. I hired weather pro exteriors based on the sales guy explaining the process and trusting him stating they don?t use subcontractors but turned out they actually had subcontractors doing my roof and gutters leading to a hurry hurry work ethic because that?s how subcontractors get paid they have to hurry to make a buck. Do Not hire them"

FAQs for natural slate roofing installation and replacement projects in Jefferson, WI

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.
