"Dan Keller and team do a very good job. They replace my roof as well as installed a solar panel system. They provide timely responses, show up on time and are priced reasonably. They are also very good at follow up on post installation matters."

"My issue was water running down between the exterior and interior wall.  The contractor diagnosed the cause as frost getting in under old roof shingles that needed to be replaced.  Old roof was less than 20 years old and was only one layer deep.  The other part of the issue was poor insulation in the attic.  The recommended solution was to replace the roof on house and install an air vent and blow insulation into the attic.  Replace the roof on the garage was incidental since they were going to be there anyway but was not considered a part of our problem or our solution for the water.    
The steps were:
  •  - Remove the entire shingled roof and a portion of the plywood that got wet.
  •  - Blow insulation into the attic through the opening created by removing the plywood to avoid having to go through the house.
  •  - Install new state of the art roof with barrier and shingles.
  •  - Replace garage roof
  •  - Replace trim around house and garage.
faction to heart. Workers showed up on time every day.
All the work went as planned for the insulation, house roof, vent and trim.
The garage roof presented more challenges.  The trim was put on in two pieces, because "they did not have the right trim cutter to use on piece".  Nails were placed all over the trim and looked very unprofessional.  House walk around also showed issues with the finishing touches on the main roof but mostly the garage.  That was a bit frustrating since we only did the garage because they were there anyway, arrugghh.
One call to the Company and our Salesman was back at the house, reviewed our photos and did a walk around as well.  Within one week all the issues were resolved.  I was pleasantly surprised that the issues were addressed so quickly and completely.  Good company that clearly takes customer satisfaction to heart.  I believe that any contractor will have issues with customer expectation compared to work performed.  The real test of a quality contractor is how they mitigate those issues.  Acorn did a very good job in this regard.  I would recommend them to anyone looking for work on their roof or insulation.

"They took down my 93-year-old slate roof (a dangerous and dirty job) and replaced it with asphalt in 10 hours. A good sized team with the right equipment. I watched all day and was impressed that no cut corners came into the job. They were very careful to do it right.The team of roofers were under a capable supervisor. They â flexedâ and put a little extra (material or labor) in, when something unexpected was discovered, or a slight customization to make the result better was called for. All the slate that came down was a huge mess of tiles, flakes and dust. They got that too. Iâ m going to use them again."

FAQs for natural slate roofing installation and replacement projects in Lake Hopatcong, NJ

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.
