"After a storm caused a tree to go thru our roof I recently had the pleasure of working with David from Firehouse Roofing for a complete roof replacement on my home, and I cannot speak highly enough about the experience. From start to finish, their professionalism, expertise, and dedication to quality were evident."

"We used Optima Home Inspections and Rob Johnson was great! He was very professional, knowledgable, thorough, responsive, and easy to work with! We chose to do more than the basic inspection and it was worth every penny. We HIGHLY recommend Optima Home Inspections."

"Reputation is everything when it comes to a major project like replacing a roof. Unlike a paint job, it's hard to tell if someone did a good roofing job or not. Polom Contracting had a few strong reviews and I reached out to them first. Gleison came to my house, gave me a very fair estimate and explained the process in a nutshell. Once the permit was approved, his team came on site within a few days and got to work. He was on site every day. There was a small hiccup with the cleanup process at the end but Gleison came and addressed it right away. Overall, the job was very well executed and I can give this business a strong recommendation."

"To many other roofers in the NYC Greater region- take note, Vandelay has you beat by quite a bit in terms of understanding a client and the particular needs of the job.  I went through a half dozen estimates and site visits; Vandelay and one other contractor where the only ones who were able to produce a timely, considered estimate.  And this was in the down season!
Regarding the job itself.  It presented several unknowns that Bob and his crew were able to work through and develop solutions to in a timely manner.  The demo went smoothly as well as the new installs and final flashing and chalking details.  At this point, the new roof has been through several storms and seems to be doing quite well.  If there is a problem, Bob seems more that capable to address per the contract, which I certainly appreciate.
Its clear he has a lot of experience doing what he knows, and doing it well.  He has good intuition and understanding of a job and the individuals and characters that might be involved, and how to work with them effectively (including myself likely :)
I've been through a couple of roof jobs at this point on various structures, and felt confident with Bob throughout the job; there were no instances that I felt were be minimized or neglected.  And importantly for a Condo building in NYC, Bob's crew made sure that they premise was CLEANER than when they left which is often a big deal with testy unit owners.
Overall, very pleased with both the estimation process, keeping on budget and timeframe and delivering a sound roof in material and craftmanship.  Highly recommended.

"• TH was the single best home service I have experienced in the region in 48 years. Immediate response to my Niagra-Falls-in–the-living-room panic call. Next day I had an estimate with options for me so I could do the job on my very meager budget. A few days later, what seemed like an army of workers showed up at 7:00am and by 3:30 in the afternoon I had a new roof and there wasn’t any evidence that anybody had been here. Amazing. The job was done for $3000. less than a quote I had from another roofer three years earlier and offered a lifetime guarantee. (Makes selling the house down the road, much easier. I can transfer the guarantee with the house). This company is amazingly professional and comfortable to work with. • 7400."

"The men that came to my house were very professional. They did excellent work replacing my rotted trim boards and painting them without any mess on the deck. The installation of metal flashing around the deck was also done to perfection and there has not been any water damage or leaks since the work was completed. I have used them before to repair leaks around my skylights as well as new copper flashing and shingles around the chimney area. Before the men left they cleaned up after themselves making sure no loose nails or debris were left on the property. Their quality of work was exceptional."

"Please make the following no longer than 2000 characters: After experiencing several disappointing encounters with contractors in the past, I am grateful to have selected Mighty Dog Roofing, a Better Business Bureau (BBB) verified and certified contractor, for our recent roofing project, which was executed to our satisfaction. Mighty Dog Roofing distinguishes itself as a substantial entity equipped with appropriate tools and modern technologies for the job. Unlike smaller contractors that often rely on temporary and untrained installers, Mighty Dog employs a team of proficient and experienced roof installers. Their capacity to mobilize a sizable installation team facilitated the completion of our extensive roof replacement within a remarkably efficient two-day timeframe, preempting impending adverse weather conditions. Throughout the project, communication remained consistently professional. Particularly noteworthy was the dedication of Project Manager Damien Sheerin, who diligently kept me abreast of material procurement, preparatory measures, installation progress, and post-installation inspections. Damien, alongside on-site manager Roberto, exhibited commendable initiative in addressing an unforeseen chimney issue, coordinating prompt professional assessments and contributing to the reconstruction of the chimney's exterior housing. Upon project completion, Mighty Dog Roofing demonstrated a commitment to thoroughness by conducting a comprehensive cleanup. Damien's return visit the following morning for a final inspection underscored the company's attention to detail and dedication to client satisfaction. Furthermore, Mighty Dog Roofing presented a competitive and reasonable quotation, aligning favorably with comparative assessments of multiple contractors. While they may not offer the lowest prices, their pricing falls within a reasonable range. In conclusion, based on my positive experience, I wholeheartedly endorse Mighty Dog Roofing as a reputable and trustworthy roofing company. I am confident in recommending their services to my acquaintances and friends."

FAQs for natural slate roofing installation and replacement projects in Patterson, NY

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.
