"I highly recommend Sunset Roofing. They performed a complete shingle tear-off and replacement on our 31-year-old house. It was the third roof on our house. The house has a complicated roofline with dormer intersections and also included replacing three skylights. Sunset Roofing was very responsive in addressing and completing our job within one week of first contact. The Sunset Roofing team was professional and efficient throughout the install and performed a superb job. Two days after the roof installation was complete, about 2.35 inches of rain fell in Rochester on 7/17/21. There were no water leaks anywhere in the house during or after this excessive windblown rainfall event. The complete absence of leaks during this heavy rainfall is note-worthy because the previous two roofs that were installed by other contractors leaked throughout their lifetimes."

"You ask how did it go and my reply is GREAT. Last year I needed the barn roof replaced. Response from the Jerry was quick and after I had completed my portion of the preperation the roofing crew came in promptly. The work was completed in a professional and very efficient manner. Clean up by the crew was to the point where it appeared as though nothing had ever happened. I will call Proctor Enterprises for my next project. Note: I am not a good photographer !"

"My project involved replacement of some vinyl siding that had blown off during a winter storm. Trevor came to my home to work up an estimate, and was back within two weeks to perform the work. He and his assistant had the work completed in less than two hours. They were courteous and left the work site clean. He even removed some moss from my siding while he was doing the installation. The job was reasonably priced. I’m very satisfied and would recommend Trevor at Precision Renovations to anyone."

"I hired King Quality only 2 weeks ago and within the 2 weeks they came to my home, gave me a price, installed the siding and left my house spotless. I was very nervous making the initial call but they put my mind at ease. It was a pleasure working with them from my 1st call into the office speaking to the ladies then speaking with Jeff to the crew foreman Billy. They definitely lived up to there name. I received King quality!"

"My husband and I had a new roof installed by Stellar Roofing the week of 4/17/23. It was a large job including a complete tear off of multiple layers of shingles, including cedar shakes at the base. Our experience was positive from the start. Toby had come out to give us a quote, he was in our home for 3 hours going over details, taking photos and explaining how a new roof should work and the products that Stellar uses. He was kind, thorough and not pushy. We signed the contract and were excited to get this “to-do” checked off our list. We were told they were 3-4 weeks out at that point. About 3 weeks later we received a phone call to schedule our new install. The crew arrived on Tuesday (4/18/23) morning right on time and got right to work. They were fast, efficient and took extra care on cleaning up the large mess that comes with a new roof. They had the majority of it done within the 12 hours of the first day. Phil the project manager stopped in after the first day to check on progress and was available via telephone calls or text. The second day a few people from the crew returned to finish up the loose ends, install the vents and fix a small piece of soffit that needed to be replaced. They had everything done and cleaned up by 3:00PM the second day. Phil, the project manager, had reached out via telephone saying he would be in touch for a final walk through and to collect the remaining of the payment. The same night (Wednesday) that the Stellar Roofing had left our home we started to notice that our upstairs bathroom (toilet, shower and sink) were not draining correctly. We spent the next two days, many hours and money, snaking the drains, taking apart plumbing, removing the toilet with no avail. With more research we learned that it could be something wrong with the vent on the roof. With the new roof we thought that maybe a piece of shingle or trash had gotten stuck in the vent. Saturday morning 4/22/23 we got up on the roof and took a look down the vent. We could see that there was something down the vent but couldn’t make out what it was. I reached out to Phil, project manager and he had the main roofer from the job come down. He arrived within the hour and confirmed that he could also see something down the vent and said it looked like a piece of flashing that is used along the edge of the roof. He then spent an hour attempting to get this piece of flashing out and reported he couldn’t get it. He was going to the store and would be back. He came back and started banging on it and within 20 minutes reported that he was able to get it out. To our surprise the piece of flashing was 2, 12 feet long pieces (photo below) that had been wedged all the way down our vent which was blocking all output from our second floor bathroom. The roofer reports that he didn’t know how this 12 foot piece of flashing found its way into this 4 inch round pipe. There is no possible way that this piece of material fell into a 3 foot tall vent pipe that was coming out of the roof . Accidents happen but what makes it worse is that someone on this crew knew this happened and decided to brush it under the rug and hope that we wouldn’t find out. The roofer left after getting the flashing out of the pipe. We happened to look in the dumpster and found that he had broken/took off 14 inches of the exhaust pipe without asking or letting us know that was the only way to get this 12 foot piece flashing out. Again lying and hoping that we wouldn’t notice that he broke this off. This was on Saturday 4/22/23, I had texted a photo of the new found issue to the project manager. He reported that he was sorry that this happened and would be in touch today 4/24/23. 4/25/23 Final walk through with project manager where he extended his apologies about the situation but offered no solutions, compensations for our time and resources spent on fixing the issue they created after spending $26,000 on a new roof."

"He did a wonderful job. The only part of the roof on the building it was flat the house was built in 1957 He came in and talked to me about the repair and my concern about flat roof and i was worried about it leaking again. So he told me why the way he was going to fix it would reproof against leaking and he went ahead and did that. It was difficult because it was 30 feet up but he came and he did an excellent job and its never leaked since but I was up on the roof, at least six months after it was repaired I noticed that part of the flushing around the vent it looks like its starting to come up called him and he came in quickly within the day. He went ahead and repaired it and ever since then it has been perfect. Never leaked."

"The job went very well. Doug provided a very fair quote to replace my 4 year old roof that was very poorly installed by a different contractor. He also provided a quote to replace my family room ceiling which was damaged due to the roof leaking. He responded to my request for an estimate within minutes and was at my house within 30 minutes to determine the work to be done. He was upset by the work by the previous contractor and his goal was to restore my confidence in small business contractors and he and his workers definitely did that. Doug and the crew were thorough and attentive to small details. They went above and beyond on some aspects of the job.....manufacturing and installing a finished edge where the roof met the house on the garage and on an addition, matching the paint color of my siding for that edging, painting the roof vents and power vent, adding very nice crown molding on the newly installed ceiling. The crew was friendly and respectful of my property and Doug checked in regularly to make sure things were progressing well and that I was satisfied. The job did take longer than the original estimate, but that was because of the issues that had to be dealt with. The work was completed for the price quoted. I will definitely contact Doug at Do It All Contractor for my next project. My confidence in contractors has been restored!"

"Ray and his guys did a great job on my home. They begain by power washing the house, scrapped all the loose paint, caulking where needed to be caulked and even replaced some of the bad siding the contractor before them missed. It took several days to complete the job and were here two weeks as I added other jobs along the way. Ray spray painted the whole house first then the guys went to work on the trim and windows. Then they went back to look for anything missed and touched up. I had the guys replace bad boards on my deck and they stained the deck to match the color of the trex I had them put on the bottom deck. Spot on! I also had them replace some plumbing and lastly one of my main beams in the garage cracked and even though they were done with my job Ray responded right away and the guys came over repairing the problem. Very pleased with the workmanship, attention to detail and overall they made sure when they left we were satisfied. Work was top notch and prices very very reasonable. Would hire again and highly recommend them. Thanks to Ray and his crew!"

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