"JC removed our old leaky tar and gravel carport roof and replaced it with a new metal roof instead. From start to finish, JC kept us up-to-date every step of the way and happily answered all questions we had. Even when it was discovered that there were extra repairs needed, he communicated and helped us understand. The team was quick and constantly kept the workspace clean of debris. The new metal roof is beautiful and I will be using him again when I need to replace the rest of our roof. I would highly recommend JC and Roof Above for all of your roofing needs."

"The replacement went excellent! The guys were very respectful, and professional, and they didn’t waste any time. I was surprised they even went the extra mile to make sure there weren’t any nails or debris leftover in my yard or driveway when they were done. If in the future I need any roofing, I know right where I’ll go and won’t hesitate to recommend Absolute Roofing to anyone I know with roofing problems."

"Initial quote was made after inspection by company owner, Luigi Aldana, just 2 days after requested. This was not an emergency. Work was completed in a single 5 hour visit on the day it was planned. All materials needed were on hand and ready to use before the job was started. Job involved replacing roofing and sealing materials near the high side of skylight, and installing replacement metal flashing. Discovered additional problems with skylight frame and we requested that entire frame be replaced or repaired. This was added to the job but completed at the same time as other repairs. Additional expense of this addition was reasonably priced and work was very professional. Price of overall job was very reasonable and competitive. Cleanup after the job was thorough and timely also. Owner offered to return should any difficulties occur with his work."

"The professional service of these guys was fantastic! Tyler the salesperson Was responsive and very informative from the start to to finish. Even though they were a few dollars higher than the other bids, I felt comfortable from the start that we were being treated fairly. The crew that did the roof were very professional and did excellent work. The thing I appreciated most was how well they communicated with us from the time they came to our home to the day they finished. Leon and his crew were always courteous and kind. Our roof was not the typical roof yet it was done with excellence!"

"It was the best job I have seen in my life. They tore off all the gutters and roofing...resealed the roof and installed all nee roofing and seamless rain gutters. Everything was sealed and is beautiful. All the roofing from start to finish took 4 hours. The gutters less than 1 hour. They cleaned and hauled all the garbage away. I will recommend them number 1 to everyone. Thank you guys for all you do!!"

"Work was ok but 1. They left a huge mess that took me 8 hours to clean up (with a broken wrist), 2. I had to hire someone to clean the high windows that they got paint on, 3. I had to pay extra to the carpets cleaners to clean up all the paint drops and 4. They ruined the remaining gallon or so of paint by leaving a roller from the primer in it, making it worthless for touchups."

FAQs for natural slate roofing installation and replacement projects in Plummer, ID

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.
