"Great! We used Marcus to fix a leaking roof vent maybe 7 years ago and since then he’s built a detached garage for our home, two large decks for rentals, and metal roofing for my shop. He is the most honest and trustworthy person in the business. If it’s something he doesn’t do he is also super helpful in referring you to someone he knows. He has turned into my go to guy for all construction needs. He always calls you back also!"

"I was totally satisified with the work done on my roof and gutter. I had a leak on from my roof into my family room. Home Genius Exteriors was called. Project manager, Thomas Barto and crew told me what to expect, the time they would arrive and how long the job would take. They arrived promptly and finished the job as promised. They left the property clean and in order. I am totally satisified with the work done and would not hesitate to call them again for future projects."

"I HIGHLY advise agaist using AES Property Consultants LLC, they were engaged to provide property management and renovation services in Lorain, Ohio. During the course of the relationship, the company performed activities requiring an Ohio real estate broker's license, including tenant placement, rent collection, and management of rental units, without holding a valid state of ohio real estate brokers license. The company failed to comply with contractual and statutory obligations, including failure to return tenant security deposits, failure to return property keys and access devices, and failure to remit insurance proceeds received for a damage claim. No repairs were completed, and no insurance funds were returned to ownership. Tenant placement practices relied on informal solicitation methods rather than open marketing, resulting in repeated tenant nonpayment issues and financial harm. Due to these issues, the management relationship was terminated. Total lost was in excess of $35k!"

FAQs for natural slate roofing installation and replacement projects in Norwalk, OH

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.
