"Marcos and his team have been great to work with on several different properties. He is always honest and prompt, and is one of those groups I can send details of the job and know it will get done right. If there are unexpected things that come up, he always calls and talks through the options. A true partnership. Highly recommend."

"I called John based on reviews in Angie's list. I live in Maryland, and I recently purchased a rental property in Kentucky, so it was a long-distance hire. I needed the canopy over the patio secured to the roof better, based on the recommendations of a structural engineer. John answered my call immediately, not days later, which unfortunately has been my experience. I sent him the structural engineer's report and he said he would like to look at the roof and canopy first. He went out there that evening - and called me back and sent me photos. He said he'd like to add a few more bolts than recommended and said the canopy would leak soon if it wasn't weatherproofed. He said he would recommend two coats of a weatherproofing substance. I agreed to the recommendations and the estimate. He went back in two days, made the repairs and did the weatherproofing. He sent me photos of the completed job. I appreciate his professionalism, timeliness and the fact that he sent me documentation of his work. I will certainly use Big John's Contracting again in the future."

"It went very well, the crew looked very nice clean cut. I must say first impressions mean a lot to me. The estimator was very profesional and well mannered. When the men showed up for work they were timely and efficient. There was no cursing or smoking which was a big plus in my book! The owner told me that all of the workers have been drug tested. Thats a nice thing to know. The work went very well they work hard for two days.  I feel like i got a good value.

"After we decided on materials, he got a check from us on a Friday afternoon for half the total. Materials were delivered on Monday morning and they started right away. They never left the roof uncovered and vulnerable -- they only tore off as much as they could replace. They cleaned up nicely at the end of each day. We decided on copper flashing and they did a nice job on that. He had a crew of about 5 guys and it was the same ones each day. All in all, this project went very well."

Can't say enough positive things about my experience with Window City from the initial meeting to the install. I was in need of replacing all 11 of my old metal windows in my ranch style home. After getting 4 different bids I choose Window City - what a great choice!! Greg walked me through the product details, the estimate was really the final cost!! Everyone was very professional, knowledgeable of their craft and VERY respective of my personal property both inside my home and outside. Ron and Elijah did the install - they are very hard working, know what they're doing, work very well together, professional, respective of property, cleaned up after they were done and I don't know how they managed to finish the job in the pouring rain. They kept everything dry but themselves. They should really be commended for their fantastic efforts to get the job done in one day!!

My home is now very soundproof, airtight, secure  and very pleasing to the eyes with the Vista Window.  I've already recommended Window City to my friends, neighbors and co-workers and will continue to do so.  Thank you Window City!!

"I picked a pattern on Friday April 11th. They started at 10:00 am Tuesday morning April 15th  and were completely finished at 7:45 pm.  I chose Hickory (it used to be Burnt Sienna) dimensional tab tiles. My roof was 19 years old and we had had issues with it since Ball Homes built the house. This is one beautiful roof and checking from the attic it looks like they did a fantastic job.  They did not use a nail gun or staples. They used good solid roofing tacks. I can't praise them enough. The crew was busy, and kept busy till my roof was done. I have a very steep roof. Nothing extra for that and they even vented for me. Good people. Great crew.
It went very quickly. I expected 2-2.5 days to complete. They finished in 1. The roof looks amazing.

"Tommy was highly recommended by a friend. He was quick to come over and give me an estimate. Once I signed paperwork and gave him down payment it took him about 2 weeks to get job started . His guys were in and out in 2 days. I am very pleased with the quality of our new flower box. He was able to replace by it kept the integrity of the style of the home."

FAQs for natural slate roofing installation and replacement projects in Salvisa, KY

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.
