"This company is wonderful to work with. A crew came at 7 am July 2nd & completely tore off shingles & re-roofed my house in one day! It took them 3 hours the next morning to complete the detached garage. They were quick & efficient. We went with Malarkey Legacy shingles so the price was a little more for us. My neighbor had another company roof their house & their roofers took 9 days to complete!"

"My siding project was started late in the year. I was concerned about the crew getting caught in the cold weather but they were well prepared and every morning they were ready to go. The crew jumped right into the tasks with little guidance and stayed busy all day. They talked and joked frequently but that seemed to keep their mood and energy up. There were few problems except for some cold mornings and frost that could affect ladder work.  Also included was new Sherwin Williams 20 year paint  on the wood trim  and 3 kitchen windows were installed. I noticed a remarkable increase in comfort inside this past very cold winter after the house was wrapped with HardieWrap and the new siding. The job finished more or less on time and looks great."

"Technician came to the house and analyzed the problem. It was determined that the cost of repair was over the allowable Choice Home Warranty limit and it should be replaced. Choice Home Warranty issued their replacement cost. This cost was unacceptable and I challenged their figure. After some negotiation I was offered an increased settlement amount. I still balked at their offer but I was told to take it or repair my old microwave. I finally accepted their amount, even though it is still well below what it will cost me to replace the unit. I might add that the existing microwave has the convection feature and I want to replace with same features. The cost that I will receive also does not include any removal, disposal or installation costs. At this time I am debating whether I will continue with Choice Home Warranty or consider other options."

"Well, the first time the replacement was ordered it was the wrong one, which of course, delayed the installation a week. When it was finally installed I had to pay an additional $850 for code upgrades. This I was not informed of by Home Shield. Then we noticed that there was water on the garage floor and found that the pipe coming in from the wall was leaking at the wall so had to call the plumbing company back out to fix it. They first tried to say it was not their fault but since there wasn't a leak before they installed they did fix it. I have used Home Shield a few times before and never had a problem. Some of the companies they use are not the best so you have to research them before you commit. I have found HS service to be good if you do your homework. At the end of the day I was without hot water for almost 3 weeks but it was do to the plumbing company they sent out."

"When I first contacted solar installers, they asked for two items: address of my property a digital copy of my utility bill From my address they can survey the property using Google Maps. They use the satellite view to assess whether I have enough area on my roof to install an adequate number of solar panels, and whether the roof is unobstructed most of the day (by other buildings, trees, etc). Using my electric bill, they can assess my monthly payment and electricity usage. Once they size a system for me, they can then estimate my monthly savings. If this savings meets or exceeds the payment I will make for financing the solar panels, they consider the project to be economically worthwhile, and move forward with a proposal. Once a proposal was ready a sales rep from our installer visited my home, told us what we could expect and asked us to sign papers. Once signed, they were able to schedule installation, which was completed in under two months. The financing we signed was designed to avoid out-of-pocket costs. Payments were waived for the first three months, anticipating that the solar panels would not be ready before then. We were allowed to hold the full balance for up to 15 months, then the finance company expected a large payment approximately equal to the federal tax credit. Then monthly payments would continue to apply to both interest and principal, with the intent that monthly payments would not exceed the savings in electric power. It was structured as a 15-year loan, although we paid ours in full after 2 years, since the interest rate was fairly high (nearly 6%). On installation day a crew of 4 men arrived with a truck. They prepared my roof for mounting hardware, dug a trench for electrical conduit (needed for DC wiring from my detached garage), mounted the power inverter on the outside wall of my home, installed panels, wired up everything and tested. The whole installation needed about six hours to complete. Post installation, the company scheduled a city inspection. An electrical inspection and building inspection were both needed to verify the installation complied with building codes. The last step was for our electrical company to visit, test the system, install a new power meter, and begin our net metering service. In our state, we are credited for excess power that flows into the grid at the same rate as power we use from the grid. So we pay only for the “net” power we use (this is commonly known as “net metering”). Our monthly utility bill shows our inflow, outflow, how much we pay for our net usage (if any), or if we generate excess power for the month, how much we bank for later use. In the first full year, the system generated about 5,000 kWh of electricity, worth about $750 at typical electrical rates in our region. We paid $20k for the system, of which a third was refunded to us on our federal taxes (applying a credit for new solar generation capacity), so we financed around $13k. It would take 17 years to break even, assuming the system does not lose efficiency. However the solar panels add to the home’s value, so we would probably replace much of our investment if we choose to sell the home in 5–10 years. At our latitude, winter days are short (about 8 hours at the solstice) and the sun is at a lower angle in the sky, limiting daily generation to about 8 kWh when sunny. But in the summer, our days are nearly 16 hours, and we see close to 30 kWh generated on a sunny day. Fortunately peak generation also corresponds to our peak usage (due to air conditioning) so we pay little electricity in summer months. Here is a monthly breakdown I estimated for 2018 based on actual meter readings: In May we had an excess of power (before the days became hot enough for A/C). September was our peak usage. Our electricity costs for the year were under $600. In summary: Was the project a financial slam-dunk? Not really. In the long term it will pay for itself, but the savings are not enormous. Would we do it again? Absolutely, it feels good to have clean, renewable power at home, that we can generate ourselves, and be at least partly free from the electrical grid."

FAQs for natural slate roofing installation and replacement projects in Mcpherson, KS

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.
