"Tim is the kind of contractor you hope to get when cold-calling for a job. We hired Triton to replaced our whole roof,. In the process, Tim's crews found and fixed a stubborn water leak that was tormenting us. First off, Tim and his guys are experts. They are fast, efficient, respectful and clean up well. On top of that, Tim supplies a patient, personal touch that is much appreciated. Especially if you are not familiar yourself with whatever the work involves. He is always accessible for questions or concerns -- before, during AND after a job. I can't stress enough how important that is. He says he wants you to be completely satisfied with his team's work, and he backs that up. We have an 80-year-old, two-story brick house in South St. Louis. We had a stubborn water stain on a downstairs, interior wall. The problem persisted for months, despite the opinions -- and work -- of multiple different tradesmen. Most had done previous -- unrelated -- jobs for us. But this leakage problem persisted. Finally, in need of a new roof, we hired Triton. Before a relative had recommended Tim, we had another roofer replace the original decades-old flashing. We had no history with the first roofer., who was by far the low bidder. But we figured this roofer had addressed the problem. So when the leak persisted, we turned to other craftsmen for possible solutions. We tried tuck pointing, enlarged gutters and fresh interior painting. Nothing worked. Then we hired Triton to replace the whole roof., which involved removing the "new" flashing. Tim's crew quickly found that the original leak was in fact around the chimney -- and that the other roofer's "repairs" to the flashing actually made the leak worse. Tim patiently explained this in detail and documented it with photos. Nearly 18 months later, our interior wall remains bone-dry, thanks to Tim and his crews. What a relief! Along with my own experience, I know that Tim did a great job on an in-law's roof -- that's where I heard about Triton. I'm happy to return the favor and recommend Tim whole-heartedly. In fact, when a female neighbor had an interior water leak like mine,, she hired him at my suggestion. She told me the other day that Triton had fixed her problem as well -- though I'll let her supply her own recommendation! In our case, Triton was not the cheapest option. But I found the hard way that cheaper is not always better. To me, it was worth paying more for expertise, quality materials -- and peace of mind."

"Craig worked closely with my insurance company to replace a roof damaged by hail. His installers were professional and were very complete in clean up.The more impressive feature it that Craig has been out to my house a few times after installation to address minor adjustments. He has helped me figure out what happened after gutter guards were installed by another company. He has been very generous in his help and concern for my roof and proper drainage of water away from my home. I could not ask for a more concerned and honest business man."

"I cannot say enough good things about A&W Restoration. They were professional, informative, responsive, and extremely helpful/patient, they answered all of my questions (there were many I might add). They demonstrate a high quality of workmanship; we are thrilled with the final product (roof repair/replacement and gutter replacement). I would highly recommend A&W Restoration, and will continue to utilize their services in the future."

"The person who scheduled my appointment was very nice. The employee who came to my home was great -- he looked at the ceiling stain and then got on my roof to check all of the vents. He could not find a problem with any of the vents, but readily agreed to do a "water test" (take a hose up and run water on the vent area) when I requested it. While the water was running he checked the overall condition of my roof and gutters -- even pulled several handfuls of gunk out of the gutters. He was very thorough and nice about answering my many questions. The water test did not change the ceiling stain and he recommended I talk to a plumber regarding a possible plumbing problem. He didn't charge me as he said that he hadn't fixed anything -- but I felt very reassured having had the roof checked. Will definitely use Tesson in the future!"

"We called gateway brothers after a hail incident. Our roof was old, and we wanted to get it replaced under our homeowner's policy. Tony explained how the system worked and how we could make the most of the claim. Tony and Aaron are personable and the work they did was exactly what we needed. We had some previous water damage that was not covered by the claim, and they handled that for us as well with a very modest upcharge. We would definately use them again."

"From A to Z, Start to Finish (and beyond) this company and the people involved in my roof repair were nothing short of remarkable. Nathan Snyder was my sales rep and was Fantastic. Knowledgeable, kind, considerate, no hard pressure sales. He just simply stated facts easily to understand and was with me by follow up throughout the entire process. He sent a stand in to meet with the Insurance agent who was INCREDIBLE, Dillon. I really liked the was in which he spoke to and treated the insurance agent, very kind and very considerate. They worked in partnership easily. I also has the opportunity to meet the owner of the company this day--how great that he took the time to introduce himself. Dillon and Nathan went way beyond to find just the right type and color roofing that I wanted (not n their books, so they were able to obtain what I wanted) How many company's extend themself in this manner? The day of install was done by a very competent, efficient, and friendly crew--after they left you would never know they had been there, other than the wonderful new roof! (which neighbors have already raved about) Thanks to Blue Ladder Roofing.--I will be telling everybody THIS is the only company you should use."

FAQs for natural slate roofing installation and replacement projects in Saint-Louis, MO

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.
