"The take away: Impressive! I'd hire him again without any hesitation and will recommend him to anyone who needs plaster work done. I had several areas in my house that needed plaster repaired from a roof leak and from a plumbing drain stack replacement. Other companies wouldn't take on the job or wanted $6K to $8K and a week to do it. Robert came in, took a quick look and some pictures and quoted me at $1,700 and could do it all in one day! Sounded too good to be true, but with all the good reviews he has, I hired him. He wasn't booked up, so I hired him on Monday and he scheduled the work Thursday and then finished everything in a half day. I think everything is done extremely well! The new plaster blends right into the old plaster. And that's the thing - it's plaster. He's able to do it in one day because he puts up sheet rock and plasters over it rather than putting up drywall and putting layers and layers of joint compound on the seams, which requires time to dry, then sanding, repeat. With plaster, you put it on once, smooth it out, let it dry and it's done, and frankly looks better that way. Anyway, I have absolutely nothing but good things to say about the experience and highly recommend Robert!"

"Firstly, this review is two years after the fact because both spouses thought that the other spouse had posted a review! (I know!...our apologies!) More importantly, this is a first-rate company with high standards for both their work and their employees!! We will definitely return to this company for any future work we require. Workers were always punctual, good-natured, and respectful of our property. The project was a tear-off of a porch tar roof and replace with metal roofing. Also, the second-floor surrounding wood shakes were replaced with siding that resembled wood shakes. Rotted wood soffit was replaced, painted and matched to existing soffit. A spotlight was replaced in that same area. The leaking roof had brought down plaster inside the house; the ceiling was patched and painted to match the existing ceiling. Two years later and the work looks great with no problems. Again, will definitely return to this company in future."

"It went well. Painting was done well with no spills or messes. Touch-ups to plaster at times needed to be smoother.  However, once this was pointed out, touch-up was improved. Price was fair and Rick worked hard to get the job, met the lowest estimate of five others.

"B&K Roofing turned an otherwise stressful situation into a very positive experience. They provided an honest estimate of the damage to my roof and attic and were very fair in their pricing. They were cordial and professional and went above and beyond what was expected of them. I would definitely hire them again. Thanks, again, B&K!"

"UPDATE: Work on my home completed 08/19. Was guaranteed there would be no further foundation leaks. New small front deck and repair of sil plate. 6700.00 plus. Early October my handyman began to replace the drywall damage. He discovered water was still coming in. Message to Mr Everett’s. Said he would come out and check it out. Message from tenant 10/31 that water was coming in through a light fixture. Mr Everett still hasn’t showed up. Initial message was 10/6. So last night I sent him another message that I was changing my glowing review of his company and submitting a BBB complaint. He responded saying he would pencil me in for Sunday. He was paid 1/3 before work began. 1/3 at commencement and the final 1/3 on completion. Same as the new roof. I’m trying to sell the home and I don’t need any further issues pertaining to water. 2 years ago I paid another company 4K for interior French drain that did absolutely nothing to fix the issue. Except to fill pockets of the contractor. I live out of state so keeping up with theses fools is a bit difficult. After contacting several other contractors that promised to show up and didn’t, I found Derek on Angie’s list. He came the next day. Had one other estimate. Derek’s estimate was far lower than than the other guy. Living out of state makes finding the right person to do work on a rental property challenging. Work was completed. He actually found the source of the water leak in my basement 2 years ago I paid 4 k for waterproofing that was really only water diversion. Plus another 1 k for a radon system that was likely caused by digging up the inside of my basement to install the interior French drain. Wasted money. I have hired him again to finally repair the problem. I have already referred Derek to a friend in Pittsburgh for roofing."

"Marvin and his team (I met 3 crews of about 15-20 very hardworking guys and a couple of women!) who did a great job. First, the roofing guys worked to remove the old shingles (and they were constantly cleaning up as they progressed as this created a full dumpster of spent material), did any necessary roof surface repair as they went, and then put on the new singles in 2-3 days on a large multi-sectional roof. Meanwhile, the carpenters were preparing and finishing any necessary trim/soffit/dormer/etc. repair work, even coming on Saturday to finish their work. Then, within 3 hours the next week, the gutter guys had cut the new gutters on-site and had them installed. Amazing coordination between the crews, project management and office staff. I also had the pleasure to meet two of the sales staff at the front end, John and Justin, who came out to check on the jobs, as well as Marvin who looked at the roof carefully at the outset, and was in constant contact or on-site with his teams. I have observed 3 roofs put on my home and several other houses in the past year, and Marvesta was the most impressive company I observed and had the pleasure to work with. If I didn't have a brick house, I'd have them back to do siding too!"

FAQs for natural slate roofing installation and replacement projects in Latrobe, PA

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.
