"David from Clearview Roofing was fantastic in helping replace the roof at my daycare center. We had a huge leak, and he was incredibly speedy with the repairs. He took care of everything from A to Z, making the whole process smooth and stress-free. Highly recommend!"

"EBA Roofing replaced the roof on our home. The working team was professional and it was a pleasure to work with them. EBA Roofing team did excellent work, quickly removing the old roof, replacing damaged facia, installing new skylights, roofing, gutters and cleaning up after each day's work. The price was very fair and I'm extremely pleased with the results."

"Hoyt did a re-roof job, replaced the under-layment and replace lightweight concrete tiles. Corrected problems left behind by previous roofers many years ago. Workers showed up on time and communicated status and daily coordination. Did several walk-throughs at the end of the job to ensure there were no loose ends. Overall - very pleased with the job."

"Every person who worked on my roof/solar project was outstanding, professional, courteous, knowledgeable, and dedicated to getting the job done to my satisfaction and on time. This includes the sales rep, the office staff, the roof team and the solar team. They all treated me as if my project was the most important. Given their reviews I'm positive this is the way August Roofing approaches all projects."

"I needed my old shake roof replaced and Home2Renovate did an excellent job. They over delivered with a fair price and quality workmanship. All went smoothly. They were on site with me several times a day to inspect their own crew's work and answer any questions I might have. They were on top of (no pun intended) everything going on at my property. I learned a lot about roofing installation! After having done a lot of home improvement projects, I wasn't looking for the cheapest roofer, I was looking for a company that listened to my needs and concerns and offered solutions without being pushy. The crew was punctual, friendly, courteous, and professional and cleaned up everything. I'm thrilled with the result and will definitely use Home2Renovate again and highly recommend them."

"Recent vrry high winds damaged my roof with many shingles torn off. I contacted Atom Builders through a reference. Service was prompt, professional, and of high quality. Overall very pleased with my experience. It was explained and shown to me that due to the age of my roof, the shingles failed and flew off. When I replace it I will use this company."

"When my insurance company warned me that my policy would be cancelled unless I replaced my aging roof, I reached out to several companies for estimates. Atom Builders immediately stood out from the rest, thanks to their project manager, Mike. My house, being quite old, had wood shake roofing, which I learned from Mike is no longer permitted in California due to its hazardous nature and propensity for leaks. Mike's expertise and explanation of the situation were exceptional, providing clarity and reassurance during a stressful time. Choosing Atom Builders was an easy decision. They were not only professional and thorough but also remarkably efficient. The entire project, including obtaining all necessary permits and passing inspections, was completed within one week. The quality of work was outstanding, and they handled everything with utmost professionalism. If you're facing any roofing issues or need work done around your house, I highly recommend Atom Builders as your first and on"

"Excellent communication from the first meeting to look at the roof, through establishing the contract, scheduling, and completing the work. There was unexpected additional action required at the end of the project and, Rene, the Superintendent, followed up and had that completed ASAP. I also want to comment that the roof replacement was done on my parents' home in S.Calif. I live in the Seattle area. I had hoped to be there during the roof replacement but the timing was such that I could not be. Rene was accessible to me by phone or email if I had questions or was working through details on behalf of my parents. He always responded in a timely manner. Rene also went above and beyond by taking pictures of each stage of the project, emailing them to me with updates. My parents asked me to be on point so much of the communication came to me, yet Rene also kept my parents' updated. Jordan Roofing is professional, timely, and clean up was thorough. Excellent customer service and high quality work. Even the city roof inspector commented that Jordan Roofing Company does excellent work. I highly recommend Jordan Roofing Company."

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