SES is a locally owned and operated company that specializes in bathrooms and kitchens, home remodeling, renovation, and commercial construction services. Our company is licensed and insured, which means you can enjoy the peace of mind that comes with hiring a reputable contractor.

"SES was hired to restore an old building in the Marigny based on architectural plans. The project took twice as long as necessary and was a financial disaster for several reasons. 1). At the last minute, SES brought in a foreman who had never run a job site. Imagine the lack of judgment to trusting a project of this size to someone who had so little experience. He was directly responsible for major mistakes in construction such as attaching a balcony incorrectly, mismanagement of subs, and framing mistakes. He was fired after my job but that’s too late. No one stepped up to help when he was blundering. Shawn who runs the firm was invisible as the mistakes compounded. 2). Ses had taken in way more business as a firm than they could handle and were behind and struggling on multiple projects. We almost had a full support group with all the projects faltering. Once the project became a disaster, the real nonsense began. Their mistakes had driven their cost out of control. They decided to make the wrong decision and pressured all subs into cutting costs and look for anything to upcharge. They stopped showing up to finish the job. Currently, a full two years after the work was competed, I have 1). wooden Spanish cedar columns splitting apart and needing repair. 2). A roof and brick wall that is leaking because they were too cheap to put a proper cap on a new brick wall and roof. Perry is the guy who quotes and promises you the world, the second things go wrong, he says “I’m just an estimator”. Perry’s word is no guarantee. Don’t fall for the charm of this team as they are ruthlessly about the money. God forbid they make mistakes, they are not gonna make it right. Zero warranty or help fixing these problems. No ownership or offer of doing the work at cost. If they bother to come back with a quote, it is a absurdly predatory prices. Zero remorse for building, installing, and painting these columns which are falling apart. If you do business with these guys I suggest you have an incredibly tight contract with time limits and a good lawyer to fight after they make mistakes. As for all the positive reviews on Angie’s, they have an office staff that must be cranking them out cause I have had quite a different experience."

40 years of local experience in the roofing industry. We are state licensed and fully insured (we carry general liability and workers compensation). We are an accredited member of the BBB, with an A rating. No sub-contracting. Senior Citizen discounts.

"In 2017, we had some issues with our fireplace where it came out the roof. American Men Roofing (AMR) was contacted, gave us a free quote, performed work on time, and cleaned up after themselves. After the recent storm (October 2019), I contacted AMR again via Angie’s List over the weekend. They responded with a message on Angie’s list and called and left me a message on my cell phone. I told them I needed a quote and they came out the next day and sent the quote. I normally get two or three quotes at a minimum, but because of the great work and great service conducted in 2017, I only got one quote. I thought the quote was expensive, but it could be I think everything is expensive. The work was conducted three days prior to the date given once the contract was signed. Once again the work was conducted in a very professional manner with great service from Leigh Ann and Craig."

Natural slate roofing installations and replacements FAQs

A slate roof is made of thin, even slices of natural slate stone laid over the roof frame and base layer. Slate is a hard, durable rock formed over millions of years from clay and volcanic ash under extreme pressure deep within the earth. Slate roofs are extremely heavy, even when the shingles are thin, so your roof will likely need reinforcement before your contractor can install the slate. These roofs offer a luxurious, high-end look and can last for decades, but they're costly to install and require regular maintenance.

Slate roofs offer several advantages over other roofing materials. Slate is easy to maintain, reliably lasts for decades, and is extremely durable. It offers a high-end natural look that's energy-efficient and provides a good return on investment. However, a slate roof is considerably more expensive than many other options. It's extremely heavy, may require structural reinforcement, and is complicated to install. Although it is strong, the tiles can crack with impact damage.

Real slate comes from natural stone. Synthetic slate comes from various sources made to look like slate. For either hard or soft natural stone, expect to pay $10 to $30 per square foot, each of which will last 50 to 200 years. If you choose synthetic slate, budget $10 to $15 per square foot. These options will last 20 to 50 years.

Slate roofs last for decades when properly maintained, with natural slate enduring from 50 to 200 years. Hard slate lasts 100 to 200 years, soft slate lasts 50 to 125 years, and synthetic slate lasts 50 to 100 years. The support structure and fixings often require replacement before the slate tiles themselves. Extreme weather, such as tornadoes and hail, reduces the overall lifespan of the roof.

Slate roofs are a valuable investment that boost property appeal and resale value. You receive an ROI of 60% to 70% when installing a slate roof. This roofing material is environmentally responsible because it is natural and lasts up to 200 years, keeping replacement waste to a minimum. In contrast, asphalt roofs expire after 20 to 30 years, which leads to increased waste in landfills.

Walking on your slate roof is not safe and you should avoid it. Don't tread on a slate roof because doing so risks damaging the tiles and risking your safety. Slate roofs are delicate despite their durability, and the weight of a person can crack the slate or cause unexpected slips due to a slick surface when wet. Professional roofing crews utilize specialized equipment to access and work on the roof without putting pressure on individual tiles.
