"Sales person Dave was extremely polite and helpful. Rob called Memorial Day evening with a last minute cancellation for the next day , so they could move my job up. Because of the short notice, they even trimmed some bushes that I was not able to get to before they arrived. Installer Brian and his crew knew their business and did a great job. Very nice people. Helpful, professional, knowledgeable."

"We had Dennison Exterior Solutions do a roof replacement on our house. Their response to our request for the roof replacement was prompt and very professional. Scott provided a number of options and gave us estimates for all of them. The cost of the roof project was right on the estimate he provided for the option we chose. Dennison’s roofing crew did an excellent job on the old roof removal and installation of the new shingles. They protected all of the landscape during the installation and cleaned up everything after the roofing was completed. Our communication with Scott and the roofing crew was excellent before and during our roof project. We are very pleased with our new roof."

"When Blake came out and saw the problem he defined his solution but before he started the project he called to say he thought about it and had a better solution for the same cost. That’s what impressed me most. 3 other contractors refused to even quote on the project because in their words it was too complicated. Blake actually applied his knowledge and experience and solved my problem and at a reasonable cost."

"I cannot say enough good things about this company! Outstanding work transforming our 100 year old lake cottage from aluminum siding to smart siding! Looks like we got a new cottage without tearing down the old one! Tom was great to work with - they showed up when they said they would, worked long hours, finished the job in a reasonable amount of time, and their pricing was reasonable and fair. Highly recommend!"

"The initial two painters did not do a great job. The company owner came to the house as soon as I called regarding the progress and quality of the work. He then sent out other painters who did an excellent job and were efficient. I was very pleased with the other two projects and would use the company again."

"The handyman came and did a neat and efficient job of removing the existing pedestal sink in the bathroom. He then made me aware of the fact the vanity I purchased to replace the pedestal sink was not in line with the plumbing and that the installation would require a plumber. MPO and I (via email) discussed the options and I decided to use my own plumber (there was a rather major event in the wall). The vanity was installed by the plumber, who did not replace baseboards. I contacted MPO to ask if the handyman could return and replace the baseboards. He did that today and he did it very well. And although the job was not what I planned it to be, I would use MPO again for these reasons: very responsive, dependable, clean and I was left with the overall impression that I could trust this company.

FAQs for natural slate roofing installation and replacement projects in Lakeside, MI

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.
