"Spencer4Hire did a great job. They completed the work on schedule and the quality of their work was exceptional. They installed rolled roofing about 1 ft past the end of the tile to prevent water from leaking back. The flashing they installed at the chimney and at an intersecting wall was very carefully installed and sealed. They replaced 2 sections of fascia board along with some rotted wood. After they painted the repairs (my paint) I couldn't tell where the repairs were made. They even set the flashing to direct water away from the corner where the rot started. I chose Spencer4Hire because they took the time to explain what they would do and gave me several options to choose from. During installation they kept me informed as to the timeline and any additional items needed. I would certainly choose them again if I needed roof repairs or replacement."

"I definitely made the right decision in hiring S & R to completely replace my roof. Charlie, one of the owners, always replied to my calls, texts or emails in a timely manner. He uses a drone to show you everything, which is a plus. He is personable and was a pleasure to work with. I also had the opportunity to meet the other owners, Gerardo Rodas, who was on the spot with some touchups at the end. Brian Rodas, his son, added some extra insulation during the process. He also recommended that I choose Sharkskin Ultra Radiant Barrier as my underlayment. Wow, that was worth it and I can feel the efficiency. The crews were friendly and hard working. I would not hesitate to recommend S & R to any of my clients, friends or family."

"I was told that I needed a new roof on my 3 year old house. JE came out and confirmed that I was being misled and that my roof was indeed fine. I appreciate the honesty and integrity. Definitely recommend JR Roofing for work."

"German Roofing completed a full roof replacement for us in Jan. 2026, and replaced a skylight. They also repaired some water damage from a roof leak. They surpassed our expectations and we are very pleased. Communication was clear, the crew was punctual, and they cleaned up the site each day. The estimate was one of the lower ones we received and we are happy we chose to work with German Roofing."

"Mr. Shaw and his son are very professional. He kept us up to date on the work that was done on the roof. He presented a very reliable crew to do the work. There were two brothers that replaced the roof. We are so pleased with the roof! We would definitely hire them again. Thank you Mr. Shaw and crew for a job well done!"

"

This the third home SUNGUARD has painted for me. To start with they were very helpful working through the HOA requirements.

They were very timely and worked with my tenant to do the work at a convenient time. The painting process was very professional and they do the little extras that make the job one of the best values for the money in my opinion.

They power washed the house. sealed the cracks (you cannot tell where they were), Plus the painted under the patio roof and pointed  out that the patio roof needed sealing.  The lines where they changed colors are unbelievable straight .

"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."

"After the huge wind storm earlier this year we lost half of our roof. Our insurance adjuster came out and said we just needed to patch it. We had Eric from Truenorth come out and take a look. He worked with our insurance company and got our whole roof replaced. The work was excellent and the customer service was the best I have seen. Our roof was done in one day and it looks great. I would refer TrueNorth to all my friends and family that needs roof work. Best experience i have had."

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.
