"I can't believe how good and how fast this company was. They were early and immediately got up on my roof and started the tearing off of my old roof and replacing it with the new shingles. Plus flashing, pipe boots, and intake vents and ridge vents were also properly installed within one day. I'm very happy with my new roof."

"Was very pleased with the service. He was on time and respectful. I appreciated that he took the time to point out some cracks that needed attention on the chimney, and showed me how to do it myself. He was honest about how often the sweeping should be performed. It is clear that he cares about his customers and isn't there to rip them off. He even explained how to do the service myself if I wanted to.

"Lucas came out as promised the next day. He was thorough, professional and friendly, and I appreciated that he responded when others would not. Despite the inclement weather, he climbed onto the roof and checked everything out. After his inspection he took the time to explain exactly what we were dealing with. We will be needing a new roof once the winter weather leaves our area. But when we are ready to have one installed, this time I won't be searching for a roofing contractor. I now have one. . Lucas will get the job!"

"I REALLY liked the salesperson that we bought it from. HE was excellent. When there was a glitch with our siding order, he came back out to check things out. HOWEVER, the guy who put up our siding was not real particular. He cut off our gutters when they were to be removed and re-hung. I AM pleased that the company replaced them without any hassle. The siding was over hanging the gables. It wasn't until we said something that he fixed it. That was the overall problem. Unless we caught a problem, it would have remained. While it might be our house itself, the siding installment is not what I'd consider "A". I don't think that I should be the one pointing out mistakes and getting them fixed. I think that they should have just been fixed. I'm glad that the guy was nice. But the end result was not installed like we had pictured."

"Actual installation took 1 day, but estimate, scheduling and final payment took almost 2 months. Gutter guards could not be installed as per factory instructions because of problems with existing drip rail, but were installed with modifications. New gutters tended to overflow where roof valley met gutter, but this was corrected later with the addition of valley splash shields. One unpleasant surprise was the subcontracting of gutter installation by a local company that we had had previous dealing with, who argued with us about desired modifications. However, Scott was very involved, and resolved all issues, including adjusting the price based on and quot;pain and sufferingand quot;. Scott was excellent and receptive to what we had to say, as well as being easy to get along with.
Suggestion to customers: specify work to be performed by their own crew, not sublet.

"We brought in Gary Pietrangelo with All Around Maintenance to work on our deck.  We didn't know if it would need to be repaired or rebuilt.  When I initially called Gary he returned my call within 24 hours and came out within a day to give us an estimate.  He arrived timely, was thorough and professional. After considering our options we chose to go with Gary's services.
Before providing you further, please note that our house is close to 85 years old and our deck was at least 50 years old.  The deck was sinking under one of the two primary entry doors. We didn't know how much time or money would be involved but we knew that we needed a company we could trust since surprises could naturally happen when considering the age of the house.
Gary and his crew arrived timely and did their best to repair the deck, rather than replace it.  The more wood that was removed the more we learned how rotted the wood was. Once we realized we needed to replace it, Gary went with me to the store to buy the materials and provided excellent guidance on what was needed.  His approach was warm, personable and respectful of cost. 
It took about two weeks to rebuild the deck, rebuild the rotted frame around the entry door and replace it, then replace the gutters.  (This was taking several rain days into consideration, which he and his crew tried to work through when it wasn't pouring.)  Gary gave me regular updates, made trips to replace or purchase materials (without charging us), and ultimately built a beautiful deck. 
Replacing the door was a big challenge due to the fact that like all old houses the foundation has shifted.  Every time we ran into a challenge Gary brought in an expert (without charging us) and made sure the work that was done was of quality. 
It is clear that Gary takes pride in his work and cares about his customers.  Though like all big projects like this we had our challenges and surprises, my husband and I were both really pleased with his services.  We do expect to bring him back later this year to replace the siding and rebuild the rest of the gutters.

"I ended up not hiring them for the job. When I called them for the complete roofing, the gentleman that showed up was very professional. When I called them for the partial repair, they gave me a higher quote and they said that they cannot warranty the work but I found another guy who did the job and was realist in what they quoted me for and gave me a warranty for 5 years. The price was pretty competitive."

FAQs for natural slate roofing installation and replacement projects in Newport, MI

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.
