"Connor, our sales rep, was extremely knowledgeable, helpful in explaining the process of getting a new roof, and extremely thorough with his inspection. As for the installation, the project manager, Mike, was an extreme pleasure to work with, as he was persistent in making sure the crew and dumpster arrived as scheduled. I was absolutely amazed at how efficient and timely the crew was throughout the whole process of the install, and they made sure that if anyone was home, they were mindful when working of people coming in and out of the house. I would highly recommend this company to anyone looking to get new gutters, windows, siding, or roof! The process was super easy, the price was manageable, and they offer great financing as well in order to work within your monthly budget, especially for the quality of the roof."

"I hired ULtra Pro Roofing a year ago to replace our roof and they were fantastic. Moreover, they came back earlier today to address an issue with one of the fans they installed on the roof. I reached out the other day and they got here the next day and Lil addressed the issue himself right away. I appreciate their professionalism."

I initially sent an email request for an estimate from Carl's website. I got a quick response from their office scheduling an appointment.  Then I got a call from Mike McDonough, the project consultant.  Mike confirmed the date and time that he would come out to look at the property, discuss the type of fence we wanted, and give us an estimate.  He arrived on time and was very polite.  He measured the yard and we picked out the type of fencing that we wanted installed.  He emailed me a quote the next morning.  Of the three quotes that I received, Carl's was in the middle price wise.  However, the type of wood was a better quality.

Carl's crew came out on the date selected.  They were extremely polite and professional.  The crew did not even take a break.  The guys did a great job.  The fence looks awesome.  We are very happy with the type of fence that we picked and the final result.  There were a few pickets that were slightly damaged.  I emailed the office and they sent a crew back out to replace them. 

We were extremely happy with Mike's professionalism and his help in selecting the right type of fence for us.  Mike was very helpful and answered all of our questions by email or phone. 

We will absolutely be calling Carl's again for the next project at our house.

FAQs for natural slate roofing installation and replacement projects in Paterson, NJ

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.
