"It went great. We could not be more pleased. So impressed with Brandon and his crew. They completed the job in one day even with the 100 degree temp we had yesterday. The crew worked from sun up to sun down literally including clean up. The roof looks great. Brandon even removed some wasps nests the day he came out to give us a quote. Great all around service. We would highly recommend T Rock Roofing for your roofing needs. We are now planning to hire him to replace our fence."

"We just had our roof replaced in June, 2018 by Lon Smith and we are very pleased with the roof, the quality and the workmanship. Special recognition to Raphael Garcia who came in after the roof was installed to install additional roof vents. He was meticulous. He also painted two air vents that had not been painted and he even touched up a couple of areas on the roof where I had dripped paint."

"Tom Longville and New View Roofing were absolutely amazing throughout the process of our roof replacement. From the very beginning, Tom was communicative, candid and most importantly, kind and genuine. He was always prompt to respond to any of the many questions I had throughout the process. Tom showed true care for anything that I addressed and would bend over backwards to ensure I always had peace of mind. Hands down the best project manager I've ever worked with and a top-notch person. I've recommended multiple homeowners to New View Roofing over the past few weeks and will not think twice about going anywhere else when replacing/repairing my next roof."

"We were very happy with the work that was done. About six weeks later, perhaps due to recent earthquake activity or maybe just typical movement in a pier and beam home, we had some spots near where the work was completed that cracked. I called Paul and he came out a couple hours later that day, checked it out, and then said he'd come back in the afternoon and repair it for us. He and his son came back and completed the work at no charge. We are very grateful for the excellent service and would definitely use them again."

FAQs for natural slate roofing installation and replacement projects in Princeton, TX

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.
