"We were given complete information and written material about what would be done. The crew was efficient and careful in removing old shingles, putting on new shingles and cleaning up afterward. AJ's were also recommended by our insurance claims adjuster."

"Scott and his team were completely professional. All of the work that Scott detailed during our initial meeting concerning the replacement of the roof was completed in a timely manner. The costs were exactly as Scott quoted. The team that did the installation was professional, friendly and did an excellent job during the installation and cleanup after the work was done. The new roof looks great!"

"I cannot say enough good things about this company! Outstanding work transforming our 100 year old lake cottage from aluminum siding to smart siding! Looks like we got a new cottage without tearing down the old one! Tom was great to work with - they showed up when they said they would, worked long hours, finished the job in a reasonable amount of time, and their pricing was reasonable and fair. Highly recommend!"

"BATHROOM FLOOR LOOKS GOOD. I WANTED A CERTAIN TYPE OF FAUCET INSTALLED IN TUB/SHOWER, COULD NOT BE DONE UNLESS A WHOLE WALL WAS TORN OUT TO RECONFIGURE THE STUDS (WOULD GET TOO EXPENSIVE), THE SHOWER HEAD STILL MOVES FROM BEHIND THE WALL, BUT THE WALL ,ONCE AGAIN, WOULD HAVE TO BE TAKEN OUT TO FIX IT SO I WILL NEED TO CAULK IT TO STOP THE MOVEMENT. THE MOULDING AND TRIM WERE EXCELLENT. THE PAINTING WAS ALRIGHT, I WISH SOMETHING COULD HAVE BEEN DONE ABOUT A CERTAIN SECTION OF THE WALL THAT NEEDS PANELED, BUT TIME RAN OUT AND IT WAS SKIPPED FOR NOW, WILL PROBABLY HAVE IT TILED OR SOMETHING TO THAT EFFECT BY THESE GUYS IN THE FUTURE. VERY PROMPT, RESOLVED ANY PROBLEMS I HAD. RESPONSIVENESS- I AM AN EMAIL SORT OF PERSON, SOMETIMES THE EMAIL REPLIES COULD HAVE BEEN A LITTLE MORE SUCCINCT AND NOT VAGUE, HAD TO EMAIL A COUPLE OF TIMES TO GET ONE REPLY.

FAQs for natural slate roofing installation and replacement projects in Union, MI

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.
