"Moreno’s Roofing and Construction was very professional and produces quality work. They came out and gave us a free estimate on our 18 year-old roof for full replacement. They came out and completed the roofing and gutter job about a week later. I am very pleased with their work. Sharon was extremely helpful during the process and answered any questions that we had. In the future I would not hesitate to call them to perform more work on our home. Grade- A service and work!"

"Gary, was very helpful and pointed me on the right direction after I had discussed my concerns. Had he been able to help me I would have gladly hired him. My system ended up being under warranty and he suggested I contact the manufacture as to not void my warranty."

"The owner came out and gave us an option.  He came out twice.  They did great and it's a good product too.  They have excellent customer service.  They follow calls if it can't be done.  They're extremely knowledgeable.  I would use them again.  Their installer person was great.  He really knew what he's doing.  He's efficient and really personable."

"Excellent -- Dan showed up as promised and worked diligently to complete the job. While he was here, we asked him to patch a few places inside that needed drywall repair. One of the days that he was here, the weather turned rainy, so he asked if we would like for him to paint the room that had the most drywall patch. The price was very reasonable and he had painted the major portion of our rooms on the first floor for us in August of 2014. He did a great job on that room as well. Every day that he was here, he quit in time to clean up all of the mess and put ladders and things away so we did not have any mess to clean up ourselves. Dan is the kind of guy that I would trust to be in our home without us being there. He and our dog got along great. The job was completed in May of 2018 despite all of the rainy days that we had in May. The work was excellent! He washed all of the areas that he was going to paint first. He caulked all of the joints in the trim and replaced some of the rotted wood in a few places. He removed the downspouts and cleaned the gutters while he was painting and then reinstalled the downspouts. Our trim looks beautiful! We have hired other painters over the years in other homes. Dan is absolutely the best one we have ever worked with!"

"Everything looks absolutely gorgeous! Finishing work had great attention to detail. Plumbing was corrected to make our chosen bathroom fixtures work for the space. Drywall, paint, ceilings, floors, new french door to outside, new siding and paint outside, new covered porch, all done with professional timing and attitude. They worked with us and gave helpful suggestions and even fit in extra projects along the way. Would definitely hire them again!"

"Robert and his son Tony are absolutely amazing. They worked together on my project. Robert contacted me within minutes of my Angie's list search for help. I had 2 previous bad experiences with "roofers" who said they had this problem fixed. Robert was on site within a couple of hours and assessed the situation and put forth a series of likely causes. He is very experienced and completely explains everything. He gave me an estimate, a contract, and a commitment. He honored all aspects of the work. He and Tony found that the previous roofing job was not done as well as it should have been - step flashing was inadequate as was a valley area on the upper roof. Also, the dimensional shingles were not installed correctly allowing water to leak in between them - particularly during heavy downpours or snow melts. They had to remove the siding from the house to fix flashing and install the proper under-layers and shields that should have been done before. He pointed out the problems and explained them in great detail even getting me out on the roof with him at times to show me directly. He took lots of pictures and texted them to me all during the repair so I would see what was being done. They showed up exactly when they said the would and worked tirelessly in the cold to fix my problem. He didn't disparage the previous work done but humbly pointed out the deficiencies and how they contributed to the manifestation of the problems. They ended up having to re-shingle all of the north side of the first story of the house to insure all the problems were fixed. Robert and Tony stayed on my job until it was done. They knew how important it was to me to get the roof fixed as quickly as possible and came through big time! Amazing contractor and now, frankly, people I call friends. If you have roofing or other construction issues and truly want to find the best team to diagnose and handle most any such situation, you can not find a better team, IMHO. I felt the price was very fair considering the work and materials involved. Good work isn't cheap, but cheap work isn't good either! I HIGHLY recommend Robert Gonsalves Roofing!"

"I had been waiting all summer for another company to find the time to replace our gutters. I finally gave up and started calling other roofing companies. Many didn't return calls, a few said that they couldn't get to me for months, one even told me they simply don't have enough staff to service all of the demand. When I called SUPERIOR ROOFING, they responded immediately, got me an estimate within days, and completed the job beautifully within a week of my submitting the contract. I am so pleased and grateful for their responsiveness, their professional communication, their high level of service and high quality of the work. Thank you!"

FAQs for natural slate roofing installation and replacement projects in Palmyra, VA

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.
