"When my insurance company warned me that my policy would be cancelled unless I replaced my aging roof, I reached out to several companies for estimates. Atom Builders immediately stood out from the rest, thanks to their project manager, Mike. My house, being quite old, had wood shake roofing, which I learned from Mike is no longer permitted in California due to its hazardous nature and propensity for leaks. Mike's expertise and explanation of the situation were exceptional, providing clarity and reassurance during a stressful time. Choosing Atom Builders was an easy decision. They were not only professional and thorough but also remarkably efficient. The entire project, including obtaining all necessary permits and passing inspections, was completed within one week. The quality of work was outstanding, and they handled everything with utmost professionalism. If you're facing any roofing issues or need work done around your house, I highly recommend Atom Builders as your first and on"

"Alex did an excellent job.  I have done quite a bit of painting myself so I appreciate a neat, careful job.  Foothill was also very responsive - estimating and setting up the job very quickly.  They also were willing to juggle their schedule to do our job right away so that we were not unduly inconvenienced by the disruption of being out of our bedroom.  This is the fourth (or maybe fifth) time we have used Foothill, both for exterior and interior painting, and been very satisfied each time.

"not that great. basically paid $99 to get an estimate. included cleaning roof and minimal repairs. took a while to get appointment, and then when they came, they didn't even do the work! gave a really big estimate and then re-seheduled to have someone else do the work. they wouldn't totally replace the roof, gave different estimates to repair, I went with a different company to do a full roof rplacement."

"I cannot recommend SunEnegy highly enough. The staff is knowledgeable and helpful. Nicole was always there to answer the questions she could or find and answer for me for those she couldn't at any time, and always with a wonderful attitude. The installation team was extremely polite and neat, and when they found that my roof needed repairs, they found someone to fix it immediately at a reasonable price, and SunEnegry was able to incorporate the repairs into my monthly payments so I had no out of pocket expenses. However, the most surprising thing, was that when there was a misunderstanding on the financing. SunEnergy had every right to be assertive in their position and protect their profits, instead, they immediately decided to lose some of their earnings, and made sure that their customer was more than satisfied. It is difficult to find businesses entities nowadays that are truly customer focused, but SunEnergy is a shining example of a customer based company, all the staff was a pleasure to work with at all times. If you are thinking of going solar I highly recommend that you called them before making any commitments with any other company. Daniel A Roullier"

FAQs for natural slate roofing installation and replacement projects in Mentone, CA

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.
