"We recently replaced the roof on our approx. 2000 sqft flat roof home in Belmont and wanted to go with a TPO system. After meeting with several roofing companies, it became clear that most of them were more comfortable offering asphalt materials, but did not have the same level of experience with single ply systems. Imperia Roofing immediately stood out because of their knowledge of TPO and their confidence working with this type of material. Sean was the estimator who met with us, and he took the time to explain the full system in detail and the proper installation methods. What really gave us confidence was that he was able to show us many past projects he personally completed, both commercial and residential, so we could see that this was not new for them. The project went exactly as planned. Sean was on site every day, gave us status updates each morning, and kept everything on the exact schedule he promised from day one. The finished roof looks great, and the quality of the wo"

"I was looking for a company to replace my roof and received several bids, but none of them made me feel confident or comfortable until Diamond Ridge showed up at my home. From the moment they arrived, I felt I could trust them. I truly loved their service and highly recommend them to anyone in need of roofing work. Definitely worth more than 5 stars!"

"I highly recommend DS Roofing! I needed a new roof for my detached garage. The old roof had multiple layers of old roofing and was in poor condition. DS Roofing came out and gave me a fair price for the job. The owner was very helpful and informative, answering all my questions. Once I selected the bid, the crew showed up within a few days and tore off the old roof and installed the new one very quickly. What impressed me the most was how clean the ground was after all the debris that fell during the removal process. "

"The crew that showed up to my parents house for the roof tear off and install are extremely skilled. No foul language on site and Jesus is very good at communicating. He even went as far as taking in consideration some scope that we overlooked. Netzero did it right the first time. Thanks for your hard work, you have an amazing crew."

"They did great! The job took less than 2 weeks. Renato did a thorough inspection and even went to check attic to check everything. He gave us detailed descriptions of what needed to be done but also did not force us to get things unless we really need to. His boss Jose helped with making this project within our budget. Benjamin the main man that did all the roof did a great job! They were clean and made sure to keep the peace within our surrounding neighbor. We have a really difficult next door neighbor, but with these guys help and professionalism, they went far and beyond their help. It was a successful and fast project! It took me 5 roofers to find the real deal and I say they were worth it. I am glad they did our roof. I will definitely recommend them to anyone that needs fast and easy to talk to roofers. Thanks guys, job well done!"

"Jacob did a good job on the roof and he fixed everything and I’m very satisfied. In fact a few months later I had another leak I thought was related to what he fixed, this time he sealed it for free. Even though it wasn’t his fault"

FAQs for natural slate roofing installation and replacement projects in Newark, 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.
