"Myself and my father has used MJA Contracting for two roofs in our houses in Jersey City. Both times Manuel and his team has taken good care of us and installed good roofs. At first I thought the price was a bit high but after I saw the amount of time, material, and workmanship that they completed I thought the price was very fair. Roofs are alot of work as I learned. What I especially liked about Manuel is he did not go cheap and install a torch down rubber roof. He installed a rubber EPDM roof instead. If you have a flat roof, do yourself a favor and install a rubber EPDM membrane and make sure to contact Manuel. He also rebuilt our chimneys very good as well. Excellent masons! I guarantee you will not be disappointed!"

"Alexander contacted me within minutes of submitting my request on Angi. He quoted me a price, I hired him and he came out the next day to do the required work. The gutters are perfectly cleaned and he cleaned up any debris that was created. Alexander showed me an area that needs repair and made a couple of valid recommendations. Finish Line Roofing and Contractor will be the company i use for all of my future gutter and roofing needs."

"I hired ULtra Pro Roofing a year ago to replace our roof and they were fantastic. Moreover, they came back earlier today to address an issue with one of the fans they installed on the roof. I reached out the other day and they got here the next day and Lil addressed the issue himself right away. I appreciate their professionalism."

"Hired last year, roof was fine until snow collected on roof and began to melt and it was then it leaked into the house. I called and they responded which was good, they sent people to the house and hopefully repaired the leak but now I have to fix the water damage(to sheetrock) myself for the second time."

"These guys put up a new roof on my house in one day. Everything worked well, including the dumping of the old roof. They were able to put their truck in my driveway to throw the garbage right from the roof.

"Really, really well. Adam + 1 did a thorough inspection and documented the areas in need of repair (photos provided). We have a large house with a mostly shingle roof and several flat areas with rubberized coating protecting them. Adam carefully explained what was going on--he had detected the water intrusion area independent of me telling him of the earlier problem. He explained our repair options and showed what the minimum needed work would be to repair the area where the metal flashing was missing and what might be necessary once they started the repair. He also explained the two possible rubber coating materials for the flat roof sections and how what was already there was deteriorating. The better coating was only $100 more so that was a no-brainer. I gave him the go-ahead and they came back a few days later to do the work. The leak area didn't require the more extensive repair it could have but there was some rot in the plywood decking when they removed the shingles. They cut out and replaced that area at no extra charge. They used tar to seal all the areas where the flat roof met the walls of the house, then rolled on the silver-gray rubber coating. It looks great and should protect that area for at least 5 years. Overall a really great experience."

FAQs for natural slate roofing installation and replacement projects in Vernon, NJ

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.
