"We recently replaced the roof on our approx. 2000 sqft flat roof home in Belmont and wanted to go with a TPO system. After meeting with several roofing companies, it became clear that most of them were more comfortable offering asphalt materials, but did not have the same level of experience with single ply systems. Imperia Roofing immediately stood out because of their knowledge of TPO and their confidence working with this type of material. Sean was the estimator who met with us, and he took the time to explain the full system in detail and the proper installation methods. What really gave us confidence was that he was able to show us many past projects he personally completed, both commercial and residential, so we could see that this was not new for them. The project went exactly as planned. Sean was on site every day, gave us status updates each morning, and kept everything on the exact schedule he promised from day one. The finished roof looks great, and the quality of the wo"

"We are extremely happy with our new roof & gutter replacement! After a bad experience with another roofer, we waited 2 yrs to address replacing our roof. After getting several estimates, Pete & his crew came highly recommended. They went above & beyond our expectations! Friendly, hard-working, extremely thorough from early morning to clean-up at end of each day. Pete's estimate was detailed and accurate with no surprises!"

"Professional quality from first phone call to install. We felt very comfortable and confident in our project being in the right hands. Finished earlier than expected and left us with a beautiful roof we can appreciate for many years. Replaced 2 broken skylights, torched asphalt for the flat area, and new shingles. He let us know every aspect that needed to be done and offered an extra service of coating his work for added protection. He let us know it was not necessary but let us know all options. The added protection was a step above and beyond. Very valuable inciteful company that gave us options to work with our budget. Thank you guys "

FAQs for natural slate roofing installation and replacement projects in Santa Clara, CA

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.
