"Highly recommended... Inland Roofing came in with a very competitive roof tear-off and replacement bid. I selected them because of the vibe I got from the owner and because they are a small company that has been around for about 80 years in Spokane. They did not disappoint. They delivered a quality roof product, on schedule, and were very conscientious about the workmanship and clean-up."

"Just had our multi-level roof replaced by Western Construction & Roofing. Throughout the process, Jordan Davis, the owner, was professional, knowledgeable, honest and reliable. Jordan was in touch with us every step of the way and was onsite often, checking on progress until the roof was complete. They were efficient and did a great clean up job, making sure nails were picked up. We were impressed with Jordan's dependability and quick response to some minor issues. We highly recommend Western Construction and Roofing."

"Compared to the other 7 roofers I had come out to bid on a new roof, the New Heights representative (Nate) was the only one to go up on my steep roof to document evidence of wind damage. He then worked with my insurance company until they agreed to pay for the entire roof."

"I had a terrible old roof that was leaking like crazy so I called precision maintenance and they gave me a fair bid on a new one. They were fast to get started on it and had it done in only a few days. Everything was picked up at the end of the job and they made sure my yard was very clean. The roof looks great and no more leaks! I would highly recommend them"

"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."

"Luigi was very professional, friendly, and prompt for the quote and for the work day. I was very pleased with the cost and how quickly he was able to get it done. I would recommend Stay Dry Solutions to anybody needing roof work or even a new roof. We will be going to him when we have our roof replaced in a couple of years."

"I worked closely with Now Remodeling for several years as a distributor sales representative. I have worked with several remodeling companies throughout my career in sales. Now Remodeling is far superior and separates themselves from the competition. This company, from the top down, does things the right way. From the leadership (Brian and Ammon) to the sales staff and production managers, you won't meet a better group of individuals. I admire their values and the way they do business. They always ensure the customer comes first and is satisfied with all of their projects. They do a really great job at finding high-quality products for a fair price. They also have some of the best installers in today's market. I would highly recommend giving them a call if you have any remodeling services that need attention at your home."

"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."

"Travis and his crew were hassel free and easy to work with. He was very clear with costs of labor and materials and in my opinion the work performed was done at a reasonable rate. They listened to our concerns and made sure everything we discussed was done efficiently. I would rehire them again to do other projects in the future. I highly recommend Tad Construction."

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