"Buffalo’s Best Roofing was great! The end result is a great looking roof, with quality products, and dedicated workmanship. Amazing to see how everything cleaned up and super impressed that after the dumpster was removed the driver swept the driveway. And even after I paid the final bill Buffalo’s Best sent someone out to make a final check of the roof ensuring that everything is perfect!"

"We just had Scarpone and Sons replace our roof in the middle of winter!! They chose the perfect day to rip off the existing roof and replace it in a little over a day. Lucky for us it stopped snowing just long enough for them to do what they do. They were efficient, fast, and did an excellent job. The roof no longer leaks and we are so happy! I highly recommend them to do YOUR roof. In fact we recommended them to a couple that were thinking of replacing their roof."

"Work went very well and beyond my expectations. Excellent workmanship and corning ware shingles and material used for roof replacement on house and garage. Tom and crew were very diligent, neat and comprehensive about their work. They worked in inclement weather and ensure completion of work without any delays. Tom was very responsive beginning with the estimate, throughout and until the completion of the work. Tom is very personable and professional and kept me apprised of all phases of the work. Fee was reasonable and no overcharges. Highly recommend Storm Roofing."

"I decided to sell my house at the last minute but the roof needed replacing. I called 10 different roofing companies in Buffalo and Rochester and I am so glad I chose WNY Roofing. They did a fantastic job in 1-1/2 days and quoted the best price of everyone. Anthony was a pleasure to deal with. Returned calls promptly and delivered exactly what he promised. This is a AAA+ company and my house was sold at full asking price!"

"They were very responsive and promptly returned all calls. They were available to start within days. Once hired, they showed up when expected, were polite and professional, were very thorough and careful in their work, and cleaned up after themselves. One note! - They don't actually take credit cards as suggested here. Cash or check only."

"Recently we had our roof replaced by Perfection Roofing. The owner, William and his crew were professional, punctual & cleaned up daily. Other roofing companies could not resolve our leaking problem. Perfection Roofing found several gaps & holes in the decking and repaired them all. We feel confident Perfection Roofing has fixed the problems & our leaks are behind us! We highly recommend Perfection Roofing!"

"Great job by everyone I interacted with from Stellar. The complete job was described in detail ahead of time. The job was completed in one day, about 10 hours of work. Cleanup was exceptional, aside from the new roof, you can't tell they were here. Thanks!"

FAQs for natural slate roofing installation and replacement projects in Lockport, NY

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.
