"I am very disappointed that i never received a call from Jerry or anyone. I used them several times and use to praise them for reliability and quality. I've read similar reviews so I am glad it wasn't personal. Jerry if your reading this I hope you take this seriously. I really thought your business had more integrity than the other contractors. Even the small jobs are important.

"Trevor Brown was great at removing a hefty snow pack from my roof. He was able to get the job done within a day of my speaking with him. Very thorough and careful, checking in with me during the project to make sure any concerns were addressed. He did exactly what I needed, and cleaned up afterwards. Reasonable pricing, honest and diligent. I highly recommend Precision Renovations."

"Beginning of project (A+): They reached out rather quickly and scheduled appointment. Matt came out to our house and explained the services, costs and timing. Matt recommended that we file a claim with insurance company due to extensive wind damage on the roof and offered to meet with insurance company's inspector. I'm truly grateful for his guidance and time to meet with us because the insurance company ended up covering the full roof. Middle of project (B): Nick reached out to us to schedule the full roof replacement and we only had to wait 2 weeks. Super fast! Up to now, it was smooth sailing. The morning of installation, there was a mix up and a different project manager showed up to the site. We finally figured out that he was at the wrong house and he politely left the property after handing out another company's business card to everyone. Not a big deal but if we had a project manage/supervisor show up with the crew, I wouldn't have to deal with this awkward situation as a homeowner. The crew was great and worked hard all day long to finish the job the same day. Fantastic! Upon inspecting the property after the job completion, I noticed that a large branch on my Japanese Maple Tree was broken along with 3 other bushes, most likely due to having the tarp over it for material disposal. Not a big deal until I reached out to Matt and he sent me Nick's phone #. I didn't even know Nick was the project manager/supervisor. I thought he was just the employee who scheduled installations. I reached out to Nick to report the damages but had no response. End of project (C): There was no follow up as far as when they were picking up the dumpster and other materials left on the driveway. I reached out to Nick and the dumpster and materials were picked up the next day. Up to this point, there was no contact about payment until a week later and I informed the person on the phone that I had some concerns about the broken plants. She said an employee would come by to pick up check and address damages. Unfortunately, I don't remember his name but he introduced himself as a Stellar employee and the person who would inspect the roof work. I addressed the damages and he checked the roof from the ground. Considering he was not the project manager/supervisor who should've come to the house instead, he was a good listener as I explained my concern about the broken plants but he couldn't offer any solution. I think he was just the person available at that time who they sent to pick up check. And who checks on the roof work without getting up on the roof? The person who they sent to collect check only! Nick should've been the one to inspect the work. In a nutshell, I'm thankful for Stellar's initial guidance through the insurance claims process and eagerness to complete the job. I just wish there was more supervision and follow-through once the job started and ended. I usually don't leave reviews but they offered a great discount if I completed one as they take pride on their high & honest ratings."

"The work that was done entailed removal of existing exterior chimney pipe along with removal and replacement of the following: offset boot, storm collar, ice shield, flashing, roof shingles, and vinyl siding. The entire area was cleaned up and all debris removed upon completion. The repair men did a fantastic job and took the time to explain every part of the repair that was done. Also, when Igor came out and gave us the estimate he was knowledgeable and very thorough in diagnosing the issue and giving us a detailed plan for the repair work. The job was scheduled in a timely manner as was promised on the estimate. Igor also came out the day after the repair work was done and water tested the repair to ensure we would no longer have any water leaking into the house at that location."

"My rear facade wall was falling apart, there was apparent deterioration, cracks falling apart. I was recommended to High Tech by our community board. Scaffold was used for this project. They chipped out the 4-story facade and applied wire-mash. First coat of cement was for curing and the second coat was  the finishing coat. The finishing coat was very finely re-finished. The back-wall was waterproofed with thoro-coat.  My roof was leaking as well at multiple places, bubbles had been formed with water seeping in, leaving into my kitchen. The weather was very rainy and stormy at that time and thanks to High Tech they repaired my roof by placing a new layer roof on top of the existing roof and stopped the leak. High Tech remains as one of the top recommended company in our community board."

FAQs for natural slate roofing installation and replacement projects in Perry, 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.
