"I hired Geno's company to do a full residing and gutter replacement. Geno was very professional and responsive throughout the entire process. He was extremely knowledgeable and answered all of my questions and concerns in a patient and professional manner. His crew was punctual, very respectful and performed a fantastic job. They had a bit of bad weather with the heat wave at the beginning of the job and horrible rains at the end of the job which, I'm sure, made it very challenging for them; however, regardless, they performed a fantastic job and I absolutely LOVE my new siding and gutters. All of the debris from each day was cleaned up before they left every evening which was fantastic. Geno was so wonderful to work with, I have referred him to others and am currently trying to figure out how I can hire him again to replace my roof! I would totally recommend him and his company to anyone needing siding, gutters and/or roofing. Geno and his crew went above and beyond for me and I honestly could not have asked for or hired a better company than his. Honestly, if I could give them an A+ in ALL categories, I would!"

"They replaced our 2700 sq ft roof in 1 day! They did a great job overall, an extremely small piece of drywall needed to be replaced from a misstep, but not at all due to poor workmanship. They contacted me immediately to schedule their carpenter to fix the issue, however I'm completing myself due to needing to rennovate that spare room, but they were ready to fix immediately. Price was on par with other estimates I received, but the reason we decided to hire Middle Creek Roofing was because they explained the materials that were going to be utilized and because of their 50yr warranty."

"After a lengthy search for contractors to replace our very damaged, old roof, we were extremely lucky and grateful to find J Parker Contracting. We knew replacing our roof would be a major, difficult job because of the nature of our roof and the age of the house, over 110 years old. It would involve removing both a top layer of old asphalt AND the original slate underneath before putting on a new asphalt shingle roof. The house has three stories and the roof is steeply pitched. From the start, J Parker Contracting, under the leadership of James Parker, demonstrated professionalism, trustworthyness, and thoroughness in all aspects of this project. James arranged to come out to our home to give a free estimate the day after we called. He gave a lot of time and attention to detail, going over the house carefully and answering all of our questions. It was a helfpul and informative conversation. Within hours after leaving, James emailed us an estimate and contract that was very fairly priced and extraordinarily detailed, itemizing every aspect of the job he would do. We mutually agreed to wait a few weeks until the weather got a little warmer. Meanwhile, James and his father Al helped us choose the appropriate asphalt shingles and color for our roof, bringing by samples and weighing options with us. They continuously showed us their own investment and care with our project. We arranged the starting date with them, and they arrived promptly that morning. Once the work began, the crew stayed with the job until it was done. There was never any postponement. J Parker contracting is the definition of a family business. James, his father Al, and his brother were regularly on site working with the crew and making sure that everything was being done properly and to their standards. The crew itself was professional, courteous, and extremely tidy with their work. They cleaned up the work areas and surrounding yard daily. James and Al were always reachable, responding immediately to our phone calls, voice messages, and texts. At one point during the job, an unforeseen complication came up requiring some substantial repairs and reconstruction. James and the crew were able to resolve these issues quickly and successfully, making necessary price adjustments that were very fair. The end result after a week of work? A beautiful, highly impressive, and solidly built new roof! We could not be happier with how it turned out and are very thankful to James and the entire team at J Parker Contracting for their hard work, positive energy, and tremendous professionalism. As I write this review, J Parker is back at our house doing another major project on our large enclosed front porch - another 5-star review to follow at the conclusion of the job!"

"We met a few days prior to the start of the job. My wife and I had a vacation scheduled and the work was done while we were away. James kept us in the loop during the whole process. He found a few issues with rot in the framing of deck roof and the chimney as he opened things up. We added those two items onto the list of work. James sent us pictures along the way. When we returned home the project was 90% done. Because of the framing work that needed done and some weather issues the job took 2 days longer than projected...no worries, that happens on every project no matter what. It was not because of anything James did wrong, actually it was because he wanted the fix done right and then there was rain. It took James and his team 2 more days. We did a walk around the property on monday after we returned while the team was still there and reviewed what was still to be done, and what needed a little extra attention. By the end of the next day the job was done. In total the Townsley team was there 9 days. During that time they repaired the decking and framing of the roof, removing the old and replace the roof shingles including all new drip edge, caps, flashing and shingles, replaced 2 skylights, power washed the siding, gutters, eaves, chimney, painted all exterior surfaces including shutters (after removal), siding, gutters, eave, soffit, downspouts, exterior wood trim and the ceiling of the deck area, and several stucco repairs that were needed. Throughout the process, James' communication was excellent, and the product of his work was fantastic...the house looked brand new. WELL DONE! A great value as well. When done, the team cleaned up the mess that was present, including cleaning the deck, returning the outdoor furniture to its original location, and blowing the dust from the property. We have a new house, or so it seems for a very reasonable price. Thank you James and your team as well. Dave"

"David and his team at Earthrise were FANTASTIC! We had almost a full rebuild after a fire and these guys were amazing. They responded incredibly quickly to secure the site and replaced the roofing so quickly that we didn't have to worry about additional damage. The roof and the siding look beautiful and they even suggested some metal roof accents that we would never have thought of. They worked quickly, within budget and their work was extremely professional. Thank you to all the folks who worked on our house!"

FAQs for natural slate roofing installation and replacement projects in Norristown, PA

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.
