"Full roof replacement, obviously very experienced installation crew. Great job, looks good. Crew also had good support that kept me up to date on the project's scheduling. I appreciated the person at Home Genius who reviewed the order and texted mew that for the color of shingles I picked brown molding around the chimney would look better than the black I chose."

"If you need a new roof, call Cover Pro. Raheem and Josh are reliable and caring professionals who provide top-quality service at a fair price. Unlike other companies, Raheem from Cover Pro took the time to inspect my roof in person. He even assisted me with my insurance claim and uncovered some damage that was covered by my policy. They kept me informed throughout the project, and their crew was exceptional. They replaced the roofs on my house and garage in just one day, saving me a lot of money. When the job was completed, they cleaned everything up, and when they left, it was as if they were never there (except, of course, for the awesome new roof). I was so impressed that I plan to hire them again next spring to put siding on my house. I can't say enough good things about these guys. Give them a call; you won't be disappointed."

"Excellent Service. Mr. Knox communicated everything up front and was very knowledgeable. He went above and beyond to make sure that my elderly mother's roof was repaired properly. From start to finish I would give him an A+ on all facets of his communication and the company's workmanship. Go with them, you won't be disappointed."

"I had an excellent experience getting me new windows installed by Window Nation, There was a slight hiccup in getting a call to set the appointment, but when I reached out to them I was contacted immediately. As luck would have it, on the day of my installation we had a lot of snow fall. Paul M. braved the snow and got every window installed, even attempting the slippery roof for a couple of them. Paul was able to find a resolution to the slippery roof issue and got everything taken care of. He also cleaned up everything before he left. Paul was awesome, Window Nation should be proud to have him. We won't fully get to enjoy the windows until the weather warms up, but I am pleased with the service I have received."

"They were fantastic and did high quality work. The day they said they were coming they showed up and left not a trace of garbage or debris from any of the old roof. They even walked around yard with big magnets double checking to make sure not even a single nail was left behind. Top notch and highly would recommend them"

"The work has just been done, hence we do not know yet if the moisture has stopped coming through the roof. The job was finished very fast, starting with no delay (good weather helped as well), in one work day, covering ridges over the entire house, caulking, and replacing broken slates on our steep roof."

FAQs for natural slate roofing installation and replacement projects in Salem, OH

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.
