"A-1 Superior Home Improvement, Travis Workman. We highly recommend this business. All work we required was completed. Our sister’s metal roof was painted ensuring a number of years of use without problems. Our gutters were cleaned and most important out siding was replaced that was damaged by a tree a number of years ago. We had sought out other service providers to repair the siding, but no one ever followed up. Most house siding is 4” but ours is 4 ½”, harder to find. Travis and his wife made calls and search to find siding that would work on our house. While it took a little time, they did not give up. After a number of years of tattered siding, thanks to their efforts, our house siding is renewed."

"Full roof replacement, obviously very experienced installation crew. Great job, looks good. Crew also had good support that kept me up to date on the project's scheduling. I appreciated the person at Home Genius who reviewed the order and texted mew that for the color of shingles I picked brown molding around the chimney would look better than the black I chose."

"I had an excellent experience getting me new windows installed by Window Nation, There was a slight hiccup in getting a call to set the appointment, but when I reached out to them I was contacted immediately. As luck would have it, on the day of my installation we had a lot of snow fall. Paul M. braved the snow and got every window installed, even attempting the slippery roof for a couple of them. Paul was able to find a resolution to the slippery roof issue and got everything taken care of. He also cleaned up everything before he left. Paul was awesome, Window Nation should be proud to have him. We won't fully get to enjoy the windows until the weather warms up, but I am pleased with the service I have received."

"Mike was great! He made an appointment to come over and explain the work and the cost. I liked him right away because he was very knowledgeable & personable. I did not feel pressured or confused with sales tactics. Within just a couple days, Mike and his team got started. Some snow and icy rain fell in the middle of the work, but they were there every possible minute working on my roof. The project was completed quickly and the finished product looks terrific! I'm going to use this company for other projects I need done, like replace the gutters, for example. If you need a reliable company to do work at your house, I highly recommend Lake Shore Seamless Gutters."

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.
