I cannot express our gratitude for Chutos fine work and commitment to fulfill every detail. David and his team were professional and went above and beyond to get the job done!! We are more than pleased and cannot wait to rehire Chutos for the next renovation!! Thank you David and see you again soon!!"

"It went well. They did a great job. We had a leak on the roof between the sky light and they did an excellent job at sealing it. They came back and resealed it so they sealed it twice. They did a great job and we have not had any leaks. I would use them in the future."

"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!"

"Due to the age of our roof, I called Chris to look at our roof and give us an estimate for a new one. He came to the house the very next day, grabbed his ladder and went on the roof for a thorough inspection. Minutes later he told me that while our roof was older, the roof still had several years left on it and a new roof was not necessary. WOW! He could have easily written me an estimate for a new roof, but he didn't. He displayed honesty and integrity and I was impressed. There's no doubt that when I need a new roof, Able Roofing will get the job."

"Arrived early in the morning and worked continuously all day. The job was finished about 3:00PM. My property was cleaned up very well when the job was finished, including using magnets to pick up any stray nails. Everyone was very professional and nice. Roof looks beautiful and I am very happy with it. I would highly recommend this company"

"I recently had David replace the roof on my sunroom, shed, and wood storage, and I couldnâ t be happier with the results. My sunroom had a leak, and David responded promptly with a very reasonable quote. He not only replaced all the shingles but also installed brand-new gutters and guards. What impressed me most was the attention to detail. He made sure to protect my deck and chimney cap throughout the process and cleaned up all the debris afterward. The communication was excellentâ David was always quick to respond to any questions I had. I highly recommend his services if youâ re looking for quality work at a great price!"

"Alan arrived on time and after a survey of the work needed gave an estimate within an hour and scheduled the work within the week. Alan's crew arrived promptly and performed all the work carefully, removed and returned items on the deck and porch. The entire work was performed to our satisfaction. Happy with the work done and will use West Side in the future.

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