"I recently completed a barn build for my house, and I couldn't be happier with how it turned out! From the start, the process was surprisingly straightforward. I worked with a great team who listened to my ideas and helped bring them to life. The design fits perfectly with my property, blending in nicely with the landscape. I love how spacious it is; there?s plenty of room for everything I need, whether it?s storage or a place for my hobbies. The craftsmanship is top-notch, and the materials used feel sturdy and reliable. One of my favorite features is the big open space inside. It?s so versatile?right now, I?m using it for horses, but I can see it being a gathering spot for friends and family in the future. Overall, if you're considering building a barn, I'd say go for it!

"I purchased a full trim wrap package as preventative maintenance on my new home. My wood trim was in good shape, but there is a ton of wood on the exterior of my house and I figured that getting it wrapped would give me some peace of mind. Paid cash for the project and had no trouble dealing with the office or my salesperson. When my appointment date came, a subcontractor arrived and began installation. The job was completed the same day. The crew managed to destroy about half of my front lawn (which has not really recovered), and put a scratch on my car, which I had moved to the curb to give the crew space. The quality of the work was atrocious. There are certain sections that are passable, but the majority of the project looks awful. There are large bulges on nearly all of the corner posts and most of the panels on the bay windows, and it has been getting worse over time. The finishing nails used to attach the panels seem to have been used completely at random - most of the bay window panels have 4-6 nails per panel, while one in particular has 14 nails and looks utterly terrible. A large amount of the caulking has separated, to the point where it's no longer something I can handle myself in a reasonable amount of time. High quality caulking should definitely last longer than year when applied correctly. Unfortunately, it looks like it was applied by a child in most areas. Naturally, this completely defeats the purpose of this job since moisture is able to get in pretty much everywhere. Worst of all, this summer, just a little over a year since I had the installation done, I have had a lot of humidity problems in my home. I decided to check the soffits to see if the fly-by-night crew that installed my trim had done the soffit fascias correctly. Turns out that they did not remove the existing vents or wood under the fascia, which was specified in the contract. So... now I have basically no attic ventilation due to the existing small vents having the vented vinyl fascia overlapping. I attempted to resolve many of these issues last year, but didn't have much luck with the one-man repair crew they have. I'm a single father of two young boys and at the time I was working two full-time jobs, so it was pretty tough to find an opening in my schedule. Whenever I did get in touch with him, his next appointment was always 2 weeks out and conflicted with something I had to do. The frustrating part was that he was always under the impression that he was only coming out to 'trim the patio doors', which the company had decided to throw in to make up for the issues I had. I explained multiple times that I had several issues that needed to be addressed, and yet I kept hearing the same thing, even after he had arrived one day and I explained it in person. I sent pictures of all of the issues to the company and even had my salesperson come by and see them in person. Things got pretty busy when my boys started school, so I didn't get a chance to follow up again until just recently. After discovering the unacceptable issue with the soffit fascias, I contacted Paramount two days ago through their website, and also attempted to call them. I didn't receive an email response, and did not receive a response to the voicemail message that I left. So here we are. Overall, I wish I had not had this project done at all. My home looks significantly worse than it did before the job was done, and I am very concerned about possible water/moisture damage due to the poor installation. The quality is so poor that I am considering hiring another contractor to simply remove all of it and repair the existing wood. Just take a look at the pictures... Now that I look at them, it's even worse than I thought."

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.
