"This was my second project with HEXAGON CONSTRUCTION and by far the largest and most complex. (Replacing an old, clay tile roof on a three story house is no job for a rookie.) HEXAGON’s owner, Eli Vatkin, is what everyone should be looking for in a contractor. He’s knowledgeable, reasonably priced, trustworthy, responds promptly to any concerns that you have during the project, keeps you apprised of its progress, finishes on time, and generally aims to please. His contracts were straightforward and “by the book.” On top of that, he’s a genuinely nice guy. Rarely will you find all these qualities in a contractor—and I’ve been around long enough to know. "

"I have worked with Nestor principle of Magic Roofing for the last five (5) years. Nestor knows his stuff and has always found the problem and is able to repair it at a very reasonable cost. Personally he is a kind professional; something that has been lost over the last several year. If you have a roof concern, I would suggest you call Magic Roofing."

"We have hired Homes2Renovate on two separate occassions for two major project: painting and roofing. Each time they walked us through their quality of work before signing, and best of all, they start a project to finish it. There's no waiting days or weeks between getting the project done. Both were major projects that were finished very quickly, ensuring minimal disturbance to our lives. We always go back to them for major projects because we trust their quality."

"I was disappointed that it took almost a year for them to start my job after months of delay and then the customer service was terrible. And I spent around $5,000 extra to have my roof pitched properly and it still puddles in two areas and they said there's nothing they can do about it. Very disappointing!"

"Randy and his dad did a great job. They stripped the roof down to the wood, replaced a couple damaged pieces, and installed new underlayment and shingles. The roof looks great. They showed up when they said they would and cleaned up when they were through. And Randy was really good about keeping me informed as to what was going on. I'm very pleased."

"Roman and his crew did a great job in repairing 4 leak issues on our tile /concrete roof. Re-felting etc and they did all in one day. They were timely to arrive, communicated all during their work and were very courteous overall. I highly recommend dealing with Roman and his crew for all roofing needs. AA"

FAQs for natural slate roofing installation and replacement projects in La Habra, CA

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.
