"The reroof work was done in August 2023. There were a few things that could have been done better. No protection was provided to protect the home from damage during demo work which resulted in my neighbors window getting broken and my roof below getting cut. Also they did not plug or cover the roof drains so the demo debris plugged up the drain causing it to backflow water into the house once the rain season began. Both my neighbor and I had significant water damage to the interior of our homes. They also installed smaller drain boots instead of retrofit drain inserts which allowed the water to backflow around the drain boot and into the interior of the houses. As of October 2024 they have only replaced one of the drain boots and have not returned to replace the second drain boot. So the same water intrusion could happen at this location. Both myself and my neighbor have requested several times for them to come back and finish the fix to eliminate any further damage that could happen. Once the second drain boot is replaced I will update this review."

"Everything went really well from the beginning meeting with Mario, who explained everything in detail that I had questions about, he also explained about the new type of shingles that are now required that are more reflective, and why more vents would be needed on my older roof. He was very patient, and made sure I felt my questions were thoroughly addressed. Everybody on the team was great to work with, very professional, always friendly and polite, including Alejandra in the office, who kept me updated with emails. The work started at an earlier date than was estimated and was completed in less days as well, including the replacement and installation of the gutters with leaf filters.

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