Customers say: Quick response

"While buying a home in Sun City West our inspection reported that attic had blown insulation blocking all the soffit vents. East Valleys crew went to the home and spent hours checking the issue in the attic, in the August heat no less, and let us know that the inspector was mistaken and that the vents were free and clear. They even checked other houses in the vicinity to investigate further. Two other companies who refused to enter the attic ("I know what attics look like") proposed a small number of external OHagin vents instead which wouldn't have solved the issue if it existed. East Valley saved us thousands in unnecessary rework where other firms tried to take advantage. Thank you Mike and your crew!"

"JR Roofing is an extremely professional company that sold us after we interviewed 6 roofing companies. Their prices are fair and a great deal for the quality of craftsmanship that we experienced with their work. They are honest and hardworking and did the whole roof in a day and a half. Our house looks like a whole new house and I really had no idea it could look this good! I would recommend them to anyone. Thank you!"

"After the huge wind storm earlier this year we lost half of our roof. Our insurance adjuster came out and said we just needed to patch it. We had Eric from Truenorth come out and take a look. He worked with our insurance company and got our whole roof replaced. The work was excellent and the customer service was the best I have seen. Our roof was done in one day and it looks great. I would refer TrueNorth to all my friends and family that needs roof work. Best experience i have had."

"This was the best home maintenance experience I've ever had. The first visit for the quote was straight forward and I was never subjected to upselling. Roofs are basic. The labor is the same regardless of the choice of underlayment. Choose your underlayment and get a price. Next, the crew was outstanding. High attention to detail. The yard was cleaned to perfection we very day. Finally, something I didn't expect, that was a phone call after to encourage me to set an annual appointment in my calendar to request a yearly inspection during the warranty period. I have already recommended this company to friends and neighbors"

FAQs for natural slate roofing installation and replacement projects in Phoenix, AZ

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.
