"I do not recommend this company. Roof Installed August 2023. 3ft Ice guard promised & written into the contract, was never installed. Leaking and wall damage occurred this year in Feb 4th. Called and sent pictures, was told I would get a call back. Never did. March 10th someone from Power shows up unannounced and walks onto our property. Fortunately our GSD was in the house. Power confirmed, lack of Ice Shield & states will send a crew to repair. 1rst appt. Subcontractor cancels. New date scheduled & they show up a day early IN the driveway. No name on truck or shirts. We sent them home as we had to go to work. We will not have work done on our house when we are not home. Reasonable right? 3rd time they show up today 6:45am in the driveway Sat. morning. Work order incorrect. Told them we need to talk to manager. They left? again, no name on truck or shirts. Who were they? Unprofessional company. Two words. Breach of Contract. We will be making a claim"

"Completely replaced a roof and gutters with this company. I developed leaks a couple of weeks after the installation, gutters were clogged from the beginning, and they were not properly secured to the walls. They were paid in full, with reassurances that should there be any issues, they will respond. I attempted at the very least 25 times (no exaggeration) to reach them and have this matter resolved and when they did answer and an appointment was set up, they never showed or bothered to call to reschedule, I am still waiting for their call!"

FAQs for natural slate roofing installation and replacement projects in Staten Island, NY

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.
