"The installation process went as planned. After the insulation, I expected a follow up to see how things went. After all, that's what happened after they did my window installation. No follow up took place. I gave it a few weeks to see if they would call or come by to see. After waiting I placed a call to address my concerns. The roof installation went fine, but they left debris on the brand new windows they installed along with splashing some black substance on my siding. I guess they expected the rain to wash it all away. They also left large piece of wood in my drive way and nails in my driveway and around my house. I was assured that someone would call me back since the members of the team handling my account was in a meeting. It is now been a week and no call back. That must be a heck of a meeting."

"They took down my 93-year-old slate roof (a dangerous and dirty job) and replaced it with asphalt in 10 hours. A good sized team with the right equipment. I watched all day and was impressed that no cut corners came into the job. They were very careful to do it right.The team of roofers were under a capable supervisor. They â flexedâ and put a little extra (material or labor) in, when something unexpected was discovered, or a slight customization to make the result better was called for. All the slate that came down was a huge mess of tiles, flakes and dust. They got that too. Iâ m going to use them again."

"These guys put up a new roof on my house in one day. Everything worked well, including the dumping of the old roof. They were able to put their truck in my driveway to throw the garbage right from the roof.

"John and his team did an outstanding job with our kitchen renovation. We had new drywall’s put, got new ceiling lights and outlets updated, updates to the plumbing, and installed new floor and kitchen backsplash tiling. The quality of the work was excellent and the team was courteous and very professional in working through our requests. Big shout out to John, Jimmy, Ken, Tom, Mike Grady, and all three Mike’s from Luddlow tile and marble!"

"Really, really well. Adam + 1 did a thorough inspection and documented the areas in need of repair (photos provided). We have a large house with a mostly shingle roof and several flat areas with rubberized coating protecting them. Adam carefully explained what was going on--he had detected the water intrusion area independent of me telling him of the earlier problem. He explained our repair options and showed what the minimum needed work would be to repair the area where the metal flashing was missing and what might be necessary once they started the repair. He also explained the two possible rubber coating materials for the flat roof sections and how what was already there was deteriorating. The better coating was only $100 more so that was a no-brainer. I gave him the go-ahead and they came back a few days later to do the work. The leak area didn't require the more extensive repair it could have but there was some rot in the plywood decking when they removed the shingles. They cut out and replaced that area at no extra charge. They used tar to seal all the areas where the flat roof met the walls of the house, then rolled on the silver-gray rubber coating. It looks great and should protect that area for at least 5 years. Overall a really great experience."

FAQs for natural slate roofing installation and replacement projects in Newton, NJ

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.
