"I was having difficulty finding someone to clean out my gutters and downspouts. I did some research and found Innovative Roofing online. Their website featured numerous reviews from people who were highly satisfied, and the reviews sounded sincere. I contacted them, and Ramiro came out quickly. He climbed onto the roof, inspected it, took several photos and showed me how my existing leaf guards were beat up and doing more harm than good. He also showed areas that needed caulking and other maintenance. He explained that they could do a maintenance program, whereby they would come out in the spring and again in the fall to check for any issues and also clean out the gutters. He and his crew chief, Anderson, discovered that all the bathroom vents and the downdraft vent of my fancy stovetop were dumping moist air directly into the attic, instead of venting out through the roof. This was having a negative effect on the attic insulation, as well as allowing cold air into the kitchen during the winter. Anderson and his crew installed four flopper vents in the roof and now everything vents outside, instead of into the attic. They removed the old leaf guard, and so far, the existing gutter and downs are handling the rain just fine without it. Ramiro also recommended an excellent company to blow in a foot of additional insulation into my attic, as well as over the garage, which incredibly had none in the ceiling or the walls. This is a large, high-dollar house in a tony subdivision, and the builder, well-known, cut numerous corners, in addition to those I have mentioned. Fortunately, some of the wrongs have now been righted by the good folks at Innovative. They were always on time, cleaned up any mess, gave me a decent price, and were unfailingly pleasant to work with. I highly recommend them."

"The entire Roofing Force team was a pleasure to work with. Top notch customer service made our roof replacement a smooth process . The roofing crew was excellent working long hours and cleaning up nightly. Mike Youngbloodâ s presentation allowed us to choose the right color and design for our roof. A special thanks to the Project Manger, Mike Youngblood for acting as a liaison to resolve a gutter installation issue outside of his company. We love our new stone coated metal roof. Highly recommend the Roofing Force. Arlene & Herb, Oâ Fallon, Missouri"

"I am 100% satisfied. Lewis responded quickly to my request for a flooring installer. He made his work proposal very clear. He offered a good price which he did not change at the end of the job. Lewis worked in a precise manner and completed the work within the proposed timeframe. He kept me informed during each phase of the project. He respected timing and always gave me a heads-up as to his arrival, lunch break or leaving for the day. Lastly, Lewis exhibited a level of integrity and honesty that allowed me to feel comfortable while he was in my home. I would recommend Sissi Construction; a true representative of standard and quality."

"My AC isn't working so I called Wyatt Home Solutions for a diagnosis of my unit. He showed up and told me that my compressor was bad and I almost flipped a lid worried about the cost of this repair especially on this very hot day, but David assured me that servicing the unit would take only about thirty minutes and to my surprise I heard the fan kick on a little bit ago and has started cooling my house down to a normal temperature of 75 degrees. I really appreciate the prompt and honest nature of this tech and highly recommend him to anyone in need of good service from a reputable and reliable company. I will be using him for any future repairs to my AC. So should whomever is reading this review.Thanks again to Wyatt HVAC & Home Solutions for the awesome service on this very hot day."

FAQs for natural slate roofing installation and replacement projects in Paola, KS

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.
