We are where labor meets innovation, and can adapt to your needs. Construction, remodeling, planning, consulting.
"I was impressed with the guys from Adapted Enterprises! They arrived on time and completed the job quickly. They were careful to keep down dust and made sure they protected carpets and vacuumed up debris after they finished. The walls were repaired and you would never know that there were any holes in them. They did an amazing job! I'll definitely be hiring them again for other handyman projects around the house."

"As there were some water spots on the roof, and after we had a hailstorm recently (past couple of months), thought we had better get someone to come out and look at the roof for a possible roof replacement/repair. Not my house, but my girlfriends house, and I had used Bordner in the past for both an estimate and roof repair and knew about the company. The day Jason was to come out he calls 15 minutes before he shows up to the house, regretfully she was not home as she had to pick up her son and would be back shortly. Jason came and left, and calls and says that he sees that other people had been up on her roof for an estimate, would not provide one to her unless she decides to work with Bordner and would be happy to come back out next week to meet her. Soooo, no estimate for a roof repair (which would be out of pocket) or replacement (insurance coverage). Just that if she decides to go with Bordner they would be working with the insurance adjuster. And why would we decide to go with Bordner on her experience with a 5 minute call? What did Jason do to sell the company and want her to work with you guys? No discussion of how badly damaged her roof was or wasn't, whether it just needed a small repair or extensive damage. No mention of their workmanship, warranty, roofing shingles you use (GAF, CertainTeed, Tamco, etc), whether you subcontract your installers or not, how long you have been in business, didn't leave any information etc. How many visits does it take ? You want us to schedule ANOTHER appointment for you to come out? My impression is that Jason was in between appointments and fit her in and didn't want to be late for his next one. My girlfriend was not gone long, and had she been given a 30 minute notice or more (instead of 15) could have been there to meet him. I am very disappointed in Bordner, will not schedule a 2nd visit to get more information, and am gathering additional information from other companies."

A slate roof is made of thin, even slices of natural slate stone laid over the roof frame and base layer. Slate is a hard, durable rock formed over millions of years from clay and volcanic ash under extreme pressure deep within the earth. Slate roofs are extremely heavy, even when the shingles are thin, so your roof will likely need reinforcement before your contractor can install the slate. These roofs offer a luxurious, high-end look and can last for decades, but they're costly to install and require regular maintenance.
Slate roofs offer several advantages over other roofing materials. Slate is easy to maintain, reliably lasts for decades, and is extremely durable. It offers a high-end natural look that's energy-efficient and provides a good return on investment. However, a slate roof is considerably more expensive than many other options. It's extremely heavy, may require structural reinforcement, and is complicated to install. Although it is strong, the tiles can crack with impact damage.
Real slate comes from natural stone. Synthetic slate comes from various sources made to look like slate. For either hard or soft natural stone, expect to pay $10 to $30 per square foot, each of which will last 50 to 200 years. If you choose synthetic slate, budget $10 to $15 per square foot. These options will last 20 to 50 years.
Slate roofs last for decades when properly maintained, with natural slate enduring from 50 to 200 years. Hard slate lasts 100 to 200 years, soft slate lasts 50 to 125 years, and synthetic slate lasts 50 to 100 years. The support structure and fixings often require replacement before the slate tiles themselves. Extreme weather, such as tornadoes and hail, reduces the overall lifespan of the roof.
Slate roofs are a valuable investment that boost property appeal and resale value. You receive an ROI of 60% to 70% when installing a slate roof. This roofing material is environmentally responsible because it is natural and lasts up to 200 years, keeping replacement waste to a minimum. In contrast, asphalt roofs expire after 20 to 30 years, which leads to increased waste in landfills.
Walking on your slate roof is not safe and you should avoid it. Don't tread on a slate roof because doing so risks damaging the tiles and risking your safety. Slate roofs are delicate despite their durability, and the weight of a person can crack the slate or cause unexpected slips due to a slick surface when wet. Professional roofing crews utilize specialized equipment to access and work on the roof without putting pressure on individual tiles.
