"Don't waste your time and money on this company. Took forever to get the work done, patiently waited for weeks that turned into months with nothing but excuses. They came to our door with huge promises and didn't deliver. "

"Please do not use this company. It is quite literally a scam. The roof will cost you at least twice as much as it should. They will not complete the gutter work. If they do complete the gutter work, they will leak and not slope. I paid way too much for a horrible job. Instead, go with someone local. I wish I wouldâ ve contacted an attorney. I got roped into it. I usually donâ t fall for these things but their presentation was just so great. Now Iâ m stuck making ridiculous payments on a really crappy job. The gutter job was the worst. I honestly couldâ ve done a better job myself. They told me they were going to paint the facia after they installed the gutters. The guy that came out to install the facia told me there was no such thing. That they never painted the facia. They also had the blueprints where the gutters would go completely wrong. They ended up agreeing to paint the facia and when they came out to do it, the guy was such an amateur he dripped paint all over my entire walkway and patio; a lot of paint. I ended up taking the paint and finishing the job myself. The gutters leaked from day one and they did not slope. Instead, they drip from the very middle where the seam is. The gutters are literally pointless. They left dangerous pieces of metal and trash all around my yard and around my house every evening. They never cleaned up until the job was done and even at that it was a half assed job. I had a three-year-old at the time and she couldâ ve easily got injured just playing in the yard. I picked up quite a bit of the trash they would leave behind every day not just from the job, but there are soda bottles and personal trash as well. It was a disgusting and infuriating experience. I wanted to put this out there since Iâ m seeing their ads now on Nextdoor. I didnâ t even realize they were still around. Scams like this should be put out of business."

FAQs for natural slate roofing installation and replacement projects in Meridian, ID

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.
