"Keith Roofing was excellent. Hugh called us back within an hour of our first call, and came out to check our roof within a week. He gave us a free quote, a full scope description, and pictures of issue areas. After we signed the contract, the Keith team came out the next week to complete the work. So in total, we had everything fixed within 10 days of our first call. Hugh also gave us pictures of all the repairs, walking us through what he and his team accomplished. We'll absolutely work with them again for any roof issues we have."

"Presidential Exteriors is a great company to do a roof replacement with! We had our roof replaced in early February 2021 and we couldn’t be happier. The whole team was amazing to work with. Nate worked closely with us every step of the way to make sure we were happy and getting the best product and prices possible. He really made us feel like family. Elena was great at communicating every step of the process. The day of installation team was amazing. They dropped off the equipment one day before the project even though it had snowed the night before. The morning they came to do the roof, we still had ice on the roof, but instead of delaying the project, they scraped all of the ice off our roof and still got the whole roof done in one day! Our new roof is great and we couldn’t be happier. We very highly recommend Presidential Exteriors for any roof inspection and roof replacement. We will absolutely be keeping them on our list for any future projects with our house."

"Central Roofing is an outstanding company. We had a very positive experience with it from the time we first contacted the company through completion of our job (we are return customers). In early March, a wind storm damaged the siding on our home, peeling off several panels and twisting others. My husband left a message with Central Roofing late on a Saturday after the storm and we received a call back from the owner on Sunday morning. The owner had a salesman contact us later that Sunday and he scheduled an appointment to come out to our home and assess the situation. The salesman was very helpful in working with us to get needed information to our insurance company and was willing to talk with our adjuster. We believe these actions demonstrate Central Roofing's commitment to excellent customer service. We were also extremely pleased with the final results. Central Roofing did a wonderful job removing the old aluminum siding from our house and then re-siding our entire house with new vinyl siding. Central Roofing also wrapped all of our wood trim around the top of our house so that we no longer have to have it painted every couple of years. We also had Central Roofing replace two kitchen windows. The workers were prompt, professional, and very courteous. They also worked long days and weekends to ensure the project was completed within the promised timeframe. When we started having some "nail pops" on the interior of our home from the work being done outside, my husband discussed it with the foreman and the workers modified the way they were installing the new siding to minimize the amount of "nail pops" on the inside of our home. After the work was completed, the salesman came back out to our home to look over the work and ensure we were happy with the final results. Overall, we had no complaints and will continue to use Central Roofing for any future roofing, siding, & window needs. In the past, we had Central Roofing replace a roof, install new gutters, and replace many windows. They are one of the best companies we have ever worked with and we highly recommend them."

"Springfield Roofing sent an experienced estimator to evaluate our 25 year old roof, and to offer us a proposal for replacing it. Although we ended up choosing another company, our experience with Springfield was quite positive.
The estimator spent considerable time with us, helping us better understand the particular challenges of our roof, and answered our follow-up questions when we called.  His proposal was very competitive and we weighed it carefully before making our decision. We especially appreciated the information he shared about our current roof and the difficulties in replacing this particular configuration.  He was clearly knowledgeable and came highly recommended by friends who had dealt with him on a difficult roof they'd had replaced (problems with a prior roofer, and Springfield came to the rescue).
We took a long time weighing roofing options, since none of the five proposals offered quite the same recommendations.  We benefited from what we learned from the Springfield estimator, and appreciated his willingness to share his knowledge.

"Very professional. Scheduled quickly and work completed as promised. Had two separate elements of the project completed over two days, capping and shutters on the first day and the roof replacement on the next. In both cases crews showed up on time and completed work on the same day. Cleanup was thorough and complete. Power was doing work in our neighborhood, and rep knocked on the door offering free estimate, which we scheduled. Sales rep spent 6 hours at our home. He performed a very thorough examination of the house inside and out. He pointed out the specific areas needing attention on the outside, namely the bay window framing and the roof over our family room extension. The latter was a standard shingle roof, which he indicated was inappropriate given the minimal slope of the roof and should be replaced with a roll roof. He also provided photos of the attic under the main roof. These showed several areas of leakage, evidence of insufficient circulation within the roof, and some rotted areas of the underlying wood planking. He then spent considerable time explaining the Power HRG roofing system. Even with my limited knowledge it was immediately and readily apparent that they offered a superior system to that of even the best roofers in our area. Among the exceptional features were a more substantial and longer-lasting sheathing alternative to the standard tarpaper, a better ridge-vent supplemented by a proprietary ventilation system, embedding of the flashing into the masonry of the chimney (an area of one of the more serious leaks), a 50-year-warrantied shingle custom designed for Power, and a drip edge designed to facilitate water drainage and prevent ice dams in winter. Before the work was scheduled, a pre-install team came to take final measurements and confirm the scope of work and details of the project. The project was then able to be scheduled for the following week. It should be noted that Power is expensive, but you get a commensurate value for your money. We could have gotten an adequate roof for less, but we expect to remain in our home for some time and wanted something more than just adequate. Additionally, Power is a large and growing company that stands behind its work. Their assurances and examples of this as well as their written warranties provided confidence that any problems, should they occur, would be promptly and unquestioningly dealt with. Overall they have so far very much lived up to their excellent ratings for quality and service."

"They did an amazing job on house exterior: rotten wooden trim was replaced and all wood wrapped with aluminum foil. Very good communication, timely updates, even extremely cold weather did not stop the crew from working. Itemized contract and reasonable pricing. I would highly recommend this company!"

"I couldn't have been more pleased with Charm City Roofing. Home repairs, especially roof repairs were something I dreaded to think about. My experience with Charm City Roofing changed all of that. Starting with my point of contact Mac who did a WONDERFUL job explaining the process and providing a comprehensive step by step of how the installation of my replacement roof would be completed. My home currently has solar panels which needed to be removed before the installation of the new roof could begin, due to the slow response from the solar company this took over 4 months! Dispite this headache, while waiting for the removal the Charm City Roofing Team checked in with me periodically, maintained my tentative install date and continually assured me they would get the job done. The roof was completed as promised and I couldn't be more happy, the installers showed up on time! roof was completed in one business day! (Again as promised) Yard was cleaned up Completely of every material."

FAQs for natural slate roofing installation and replacement projects in Olney, MD

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.
