"Fantastic! Alex was incredibly responsive throughout the preparation and installation process. I'm building an unconventional house, an Earthship, and it was an interesting challenge to bring together the original roof construction design, required updates, and the rubber roof requirements. Alex is always upbeat, patient and a pleasure to work with. Thank you!!"

"We are very pleased with our new roof from Sejay Construction! When we first set out to have a new roof installed our motivation was to ensure that we had a sound roof headed into the winter. In hiring Ricky and his team, the end result was an impeccably installed roof that also makes our house look clean and sharp. Ricky, the owner of Sejay Costruction, returned my call right away and made it easy to schedule the estimate and work. He also provided a written, itemized estimate. Ricky is very particular about small details, which was wonderful since our roof has many angles and is very cut up, including a small tower. We are very pleased with the lead flashing that they did on our chimney as well and the installation of two replacement skylights. They took care around our landscaping and left our yard spotless. One thing that I really appreciated about working with Sejay Construction is that they are a small team. Ricky was upfront that his team might take a little longer to finish the project but you know who is working on your roof. Ricky was communicative throughout the project and his crew is hardworking, courteous, and knowledgeable. I highly recommend Sejay Construction and look forward to hiring them in the future for other projects."

"He was very responsive when I initially reached out to him to do the roofing repair work. He was very knowledgeable about products available and what would most closely match what I already had on the roof, since only the rear of the house needed to be replaced. The roofing repair was excellent and timely. However, they also agreed to replace a small piece of coilstock that was also damaged in the storm. They took the metal that I had to replace it with, and only after at least 6 requests and a final threat to contact the Police to report it stolen, did it ever get returned. They never did install it, but they prepared it for installation. At that point it was winter and we could not longer install it anyway Our interaction started out so good, and then went downhill very fast. The roofing work was however, excellent."

"It went great! After being postponed for a while due to continuous rain, they were ready to start as soon as the skies cleared up. They estimated it would take 3 days to complete the job (new shingles, new ice and water shield, roof vents, chimney flashing and re-pointing, and new seamless gutters), it only took 2 days. Jack was very professional and helpful, as was the rest of his crew. We communicated frequently on the phone while waiting for the rain to clear up to start the job, keeping us posted on the status of other jobs. He was able to schedule our roof relatively immediately after the initial request and consultation (if it just wasn't for the rain!). His crew was prompt and had all the supplies necessary to start the roof. It didn't take nearly as long as I had anticipated, working roughly from 7:30am (I requested they start as early as they were able to in the morning) to 4:00pm both days. After each day they did a thorough job cleaning up roof debris, laying down tarps on the lawn, bushes and deck prior to beginning work to catch the falling debris, and they had a large magnet to pick up nails from the yard and driveway (no flat tires!). When ripping up the old shingles, they discovered around our chimney that the boards were rotting from water, they were able to quickly replace the plywood without problem and assured us that there didn't appear to be any further water damage than that. 

So, now that the roof is complete, it looks beautiful! The craftsmanship and color of the shingles looks great and we are very excited about it. The chimney also is in better condition with the re-pointing and new flashing around the base. Our new gutters will be attached on Saturday (a week ahead of anticipation too), and Jack highly recommended the person who will be doing this job. 

Jack and Affordable Roofing guarantees their craftsmanship for 10 years, and the shingles for at least 15 years. I am very pleased with the work provided and the knowledge that Jack has been doing this for almost 30 years. I most certainly will contact Affordable Roofing in the future for any other renovation I might need on my house (they do more than just roofs!)"

FAQs for natural slate roofing installation and replacement projects in Stowe, VT

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.
