"George Pindro replaced my deteriorating slate roof with dimensional shingles. Referral from my neighbor who did the same 6 years ago and is happy. George had the best quote of the few I got, for equivalent or better material. Description of work was very clear and detailed, came a few times to look and answer questions. Very accommodating of changes and additions, started work right away, finished quickly, very good cleanup afterwards. Very pleasant experience and the roof looks great!"

"Anthony and his crew worked diligently to remove my old roof and install a new one in the cold weather. In addition to the new roof, they installed a new attic fan. All for a very competitive price! When the job was done, they did a great job cleaning up. Also, they were very professional and polite. For any home improvement or repair projects that I hire out in the future, I will call Anthony."

"This is the 2nd time I've used Toth Roofing. I had Steve replace my roof about 7 yrs ago, and he did great job then so I called him when I decided to have larger gutters installed and replace some rotted fascia. Initially I wanted to have siding replaced as well, but Steve talked me out of it, insisting it would not be a good investment. Instead he recommended having it painted, which I did using my painter for 1/10th the cost of new siding. I appreciated Steve honesty and judgement, a rarity in an age of fly-by-night contractors. Steve accommodated my schedule and his crew did all that I asked. I've found Toth Roofing to be a good value, if not always the lowest bidder. We are highly satisfied with work performed and would recommend Toth Roofing without hesitation."

"Mike took the time to explain to me the work he would do; no question on my part was too much. I had a big concern about the mismatched slate on my roof. Because of the age of the roof and the natural fading that has taken placed, I questioned finding the right Vermont slate. Mike assured me that he could match my Vermont slate, and he did. I now have a uniform colored roof. Mike and Chris were on time and worked in a very professional manner. In addition, as he and Chris did the work, when he saw something else that needed a bit of attention, they took care of it. In all 37+ slates were addressed. Mike will be the person I call to maintain my roof."

"The take away: Impressive! I'd hire him again without any hesitation and will recommend him to anyone who needs plaster work done. I had several areas in my house that needed plaster repaired from a roof leak and from a plumbing drain stack replacement. Other companies wouldn't take on the job or wanted $6K to $8K and a week to do it. Robert came in, took a quick look and some pictures and quoted me at $1,700 and could do it all in one day! Sounded too good to be true, but with all the good reviews he has, I hired him. He wasn't booked up, so I hired him on Monday and he scheduled the work Thursday and then finished everything in a half day. I think everything is done extremely well! The new plaster blends right into the old plaster. And that's the thing - it's plaster. He's able to do it in one day because he puts up sheet rock and plasters over it rather than putting up drywall and putting layers and layers of joint compound on the seams, which requires time to dry, then sanding, repeat. With plaster, you put it on once, smooth it out, let it dry and it's done, and frankly looks better that way. Anyway, I have absolutely nothing but good things to say about the experience and highly recommend Robert!"

"Firstly, this review is two years after the fact because both spouses thought that the other spouse had posted a review! (I know!...our apologies!) More importantly, this is a first-rate company with high standards for both their work and their employees!! We will definitely return to this company for any future work we require. Workers were always punctual, good-natured, and respectful of our property. The project was a tear-off of a porch tar roof and replace with metal roofing. Also, the second-floor surrounding wood shakes were replaced with siding that resembled wood shakes. Rotted wood soffit was replaced, painted and matched to existing soffit. A spotlight was replaced in that same area. The leaking roof had brought down plaster inside the house; the ceiling was patched and painted to match the existing ceiling. Two years later and the work looks great with no problems. Again, will definitely return to this company in future."

FAQs for natural slate roofing installation and replacement projects in Penn Hills, PA

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.
