"Charlie's crew came a day early and got right to work! They also finished early after working 8am-6pm. They worked tirelessly. Out of 3 bids his was the most reasonable, they were the only ones who could start when we needed him to (which was ASAP) and their bid was all inclusive. No extra charges or fees for any plywood or facia that needed to be replaced or repaired. AND their warranty was the longest (15 years)! He came over after the first day and showed us the progress on his drone and was very professional. I would highly recommend him to anyone who needs roof work done."

"JR Roofing is an extremely professional company that sold us after we interviewed 6 roofing companies. Their prices are fair and a great deal for the quality of craftsmanship that we experienced with their work. They are honest and hardworking and did the whole roof in a day and a half. Our house looks like a whole new house and I really had no idea it could look this good! I would recommend them to anyone. Thank you!"

"I’ve used **German Roofing** for over a decade, and they’ve now replaced at least three roofs for me, with a fourth on the way. Every job has been done with excellent workmanship, attention to detail, and no shortcuts. They’re reliable, show up when scheduled, and keep the project organized from start to finish. Their communication is clear, pricing is honest, and they never try to upsell unnecessary work. They stand behind what they install and have always been quick to help whenever I’ve had questions, even years later. After many projects, they continue to earn my trust. Highly recommended."

"Walter came out and looked at the job and inspected all the stucco damage. His easy going nature put me at ease, and all the great reviews here and other places online about their work help us move forward with confidence. They were great to work with, being flexible when we needed to move around the scheduling of the job. The stucco team came out and did all the repairs on our house. They blended the stucco so well you can't tell where the new parts are and where the old parts are. Then a few weeks later the paint crew showed up right when Walter said they would. They just left our house after finishing the job, and I have to say they have greatly exceeded my expectations with the final result. The house looks awesome, and there is no sign of the old damage stucco anywhere! It isn't often my expectations are exceeded like this! I would strongly recommend Walter and Sun Guard to ANYONE! We could have easily went with another company and paid double or more for all the work, and I am certain the end results would not have been better (or as good for that matter) than what we received!"

"New roof needed on my porch. They came earlier than anticipated and completed the job in 3 hours. They were totally professional. Cleared out the old stuff with no debris left on the ground. If I ever need another new roof, I definitely will call them. I only paid them what they estimated. Thanks guys. I will definitely recommend you to anyone who asks me."

"Payne Roofing did an excellent job with my roof repair. They did a thorough survey of the work needed and provided high resolution pictures of all the areas in question. The finished work quality was excellent and again followed up with great pictures of work accomplished. The billing and scheduling was 100% hassle free. The workers left a clean worksite when finished. The cost for the job was very reasonable for the quality of services performed, I will definitely use them for my roofing needs in the future!"

FAQs for natural slate roofing installation and replacement projects in Tempe, AZ

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.
