"They replaced cracked tiles, and replaced the underlayment on leaking area with good rubberized material. Reset a lot of tiles that just moved from the wind. Sealed around all vent pipes. They done more than I expected."

"So grateful to Clearview Roofing and Kristine for helping my husband and I with our roofing project. We were definitely in need of a replacement especially with this random weather we’re having here in LA. She was very easy to contact and get ahold of, and more importantly was willing to help with any questions we had. Never once felt like a rushed phone call or any aggression. She was very professional and thorough with it all. I Highly recommend Clearview Roofing!"

"We are giving Hoyt Roofing a 5 Star rating, because of the excellent job they did on the installation of our new roof. The whole process only took four days and the workers went over and above to keep us informed of the progress and maintaining a clean work area. We were impressed from the initial meeting where we discussed and deciding on the terms and conditions to completion of the job. They were not pushy or try to upsell their products. We highly recommend this company to anyone who needs a new roof."

"I needed my old shake roof replaced and Home2Renovate did an excellent job. They over delivered with a fair price and quality workmanship. All went smoothly. They were on site with me several times a day to inspect their own crew's work and answer any questions I might have. They were on top of (no pun intended) everything going on at my property. I learned a lot about roofing installation! After having done a lot of home improvement projects, I wasn't looking for the cheapest roofer, I was looking for a company that listened to my needs and concerns and offered solutions without being pushy. The crew was punctual, friendly, courteous, and professional and cleaned up everything. I'm thrilled with the result and will definitely use Home2Renovate again and highly recommend them."

"We have a historic home and there was additional care required to replace siding beneath the roofing material at the eaves. The team at Jordan roof completed the entire job in only 4 days, they fixed up our dormer which had shingles that had deteriorated, and repainted some of the shingles. Our home looks better than ever! Great responsiveness, fair pricing, and high quality work."

"West Roofing came to us on the strong recommendation of our neighbors who had used him for two different complex roofing jobs on older houses. Joe gave us a fast turn around and started work within days after we signed our contract. His communication with clients excellent. He took time to review our concerns and explained everything clearly which was reflected in his contract. He was easy to reach and a joy to work with. I want to add that Joe was honest and forthcoming in his bid. He told us that there would be no surprise fees or extras once his crew started working on our house, and he kept to that agreement. I also want to share that he understands the aesthetics of older homes and works with you to restore your roof so it honors and improves those historic qualities. West Roofing came exactly when they said they would. They used laser leveling to repair sags and restore the slope and the rotted sub-roof as well as added a very needed additional drain. They installed all new scuppers and flashing as well. The crew worked tirelessly through a heatwave and completed the job on time. They were conscientious, pleasant and always gracious. I'm not sure you could really ask for anything more. Joe followed up with us to make sure that everything met our expectations and provided us with everything we need to get our LADWP Cool Roof program rebate. So far we have recommended West Roofing to two of our friends."

"When my insurance company warned me that my policy would be cancelled unless I replaced my aging roof, I reached out to several companies for estimates. Atom Builders immediately stood out from the rest, thanks to their project manager, Mike. My house, being quite old, had wood shake roofing, which I learned from Mike is no longer permitted in California due to its hazardous nature and propensity for leaks. Mike's expertise and explanation of the situation were exceptional, providing clarity and reassurance during a stressful time. Choosing Atom Builders was an easy decision. They were not only professional and thorough but also remarkably efficient. The entire project, including obtaining all necessary permits and passing inspections, was completed within one week. The quality of work was outstanding, and they handled everything with utmost professionalism. If you're facing any roofing issues or need work done around your house, I highly recommend Atom Builders as your first and on"

FAQs for natural slate roofing installation and replacement projects in Pasadena, CA

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.
