"I called John based on reviews in Angie's list. I live in Maryland, and I recently purchased a rental property in Kentucky, so it was a long-distance hire. I needed the canopy over the patio secured to the roof better, based on the recommendations of a structural engineer. John answered my call immediately, not days later, which unfortunately has been my experience. I sent him the structural engineer's report and he said he would like to look at the roof and canopy first. He went out there that evening - and called me back and sent me photos. He said he'd like to add a few more bolts than recommended and said the canopy would leak soon if it wasn't weatherproofed. He said he would recommend two coats of a weatherproofing substance. I agreed to the recommendations and the estimate. He went back in two days, made the repairs and did the weatherproofing. He sent me photos of the completed job. I appreciate his professionalism, timeliness and the fact that he sent me documentation of his work. I will certainly use Big John's Contracting again in the future."

"First of all i spoke with a lot of guys that are in this field of work. I feel like its a sales "Cat and mouse " game with them all for the exception of Across town foundation co. They are so laid back what a great feeling  ZERO pressure.  The price was amazing . The work started early and the guys stayed on it hard till the end of the day. The job took three days and my house is back to it proper placement. Now i dont have to take money off when we sell. Im sure they saved me $10,000 in the long run.  Thanks so much for your hard work!

"I was originally expecting a plumbing leak because I had leaking under the bathroom at my first story ceiling. Plumber came out and said it was a roof leak. My house is only 4 years old, so I was concerned. I called Helton and even before they came out, they explained some common causes of roof leaks in newer houses. They explained that flashing is often put together with caulk instead of welded together, and that they were welders by trade also, so they could do all of the work. They came out the day after I called and looked over the roof to determine the problem and give an estimate for free. At that time, they found that there were numerous nail holes in the roof and that the flashing had been put on backward. They said they could fix it for $250. I called back to have the work done within a few days, and again, they came right out the next day to do the work. On the day of, I realized they may also be the appropriate company to have repair our downspout that had come loose from the house and disconnected from itself in one spot due to the welding experience. I asked the day of if they could do that as well, and they added that on for an extra $50 without any hesitation. I wasn't home when they did the work, but I came home to find the downspout very securely fastened to the house in several spots and bolted together firmly at every joint, the way it should have been done initially by the builder! I was VERY pleased! We had a very heavy rain last night, and there is no leaking, so they appear to have done a great job with the roof as well!"

"Everybody was helpful right from the beginning. Starting with Caleb who came out for the initial call and followed up right until the final inspection. He was very attentive with any questions or concerns. He was extremely helpful with submitting the claim and documentation to our insurance company. He also checked in on the installation to answer any questions and made sure we were satisfied and all was good after the job was done. The installers did a great job on the roof and the cleaning up after. The locally owned Armor Roofing's owner, Joshua Busbee, stopped by with supplies and to check with us and make sure everything was going okay. Everyone was Friendly and easy to work with. I would highly recommend them to anyone needing a new roof or construction."

"Something happened with my roof. They gave me a quote, and we agreed upon it. They came out, and when they started digging in my roof, they basically said it was a lot more expensive than it was, and so, I had them stopped working. I liked their price initially, but I disliked the fact that he came out and did an assessment; his assessment was not exactly accurate what he said the work was, and it turned out much more expensive than what he originally quoted. So, basically I fired him from the job. I did not end up paying for anything. I think they were pretty responsive and professional.  "

FAQs for natural slate roofing repair projects in Lexington, KY

If more than 30% of your slate roof is damaged, it's time to consider a full replacement. This will prevent further deterioration and avoid costly recurring repairs. A professional slate inspection (costing between $130 and $360) can confirm whether repairs are sufficient or if a full roof replacement is the better option.

A slate roof can last anywhere from 60 to 150 years, depending on factors like installation quality, regular maintenance and repairs, and local weather conditions. Compared to materials like clay and concrete, which often last around 50 years, a well-maintained slate roof offers superior longevity, durability, and long-lasting aesthetic appeal.

Yes, you can use temporary patch solutions, such as roofing cement or patchwork, to provide immediate relief for minor leaks or underlayment issues observed from inside your home. However, these provisional fixes do not replace the need for a permanent, professional exterior repair, which is necessary to ensure the long-term integrity and weather resistance of your slate roof.
