"Marcos and his team have been great to work with on several different properties. He is always honest and prompt, and is one of those groups I can send details of the job and know it will get done right. If there are unexpected things that come up, he always calls and talks through the options. A true partnership. Highly recommend."

"It went very well, the crew looked very nice clean cut. I must say first impressions mean a lot to me. The estimator was very profesional and well mannered. When the men showed up for work they were timely and efficient. There was no cursing or smoking which was a big plus in my book! The owner told me that all of the workers have been drug tested. Thats a nice thing to know. The work went very well they work hard for two days.  I feel like i got a good value.

"We couldn't have asked for a better contractor or crew! Mr. Helton was out at our home within hours of speaking with him and had an estimate sent via email that same evening. After we obtained a couple of other estimates and did some research on Angies List, we called Mr. Helton and asked him when he could start. Mr. Helton and his wife met us at Lowes in Lexington (where we were doing some shopping) so that we could drop off the deposit check. We had mentioned Angie's List in the initial phone call, but elaborated a little further in person. Mr. Helton said he was, "happy someone was finally keeping score...b/c he roof's every home like its his own." The very next day his crew was at our home about 9, and materials delivered about 11. Mr. Helton explained that he only tears off as much roof as he can re-roof in a day with is crew of 4-6. The job took 2 full days and a morning. (Turns out we have a little more roof than first thought, and the original builder skipped flashing the valleys, but Robert would take care of that for us). The roof looks great, his crew was polite, and the site was cleaned of debris daily. After the job was complete we happily signed a check for the balance. That evening we had a severe storm and were happy to report there were no problems. His wife called a couple of days later to make sure we were satisfied and emailed us a workmanship guarantee. Amazing!"

Can't say enough positive things about my experience with Window City from the initial meeting to the install. I was in need of replacing all 11 of my old metal windows in my ranch style home. After getting 4 different bids I choose Window City - what a great choice!! Greg walked me through the product details, the estimate was really the final cost!! Everyone was very professional, knowledgeable of their craft and VERY respective of my personal property both inside my home and outside. Ron and Elijah did the install - they are very hard working, know what they're doing, work very well together, professional, respective of property, cleaned up after they were done and I don't know how they managed to finish the job in the pouring rain. They kept everything dry but themselves. They should really be commended for their fantastic efforts to get the job done in one day!!

My home is now very soundproof, airtight, secure  and very pleasing to the eyes with the Vista Window.  I've already recommended Window City to my friends, neighbors and co-workers and will continue to do so.  Thank you Window City!!

"I picked a pattern on Friday April 11th. They started at 10:00 am Tuesday morning April 15th  and were completely finished at 7:45 pm.  I chose Hickory (it used to be Burnt Sienna) dimensional tab tiles. My roof was 19 years old and we had had issues with it since Ball Homes built the house. This is one beautiful roof and checking from the attic it looks like they did a fantastic job.  They did not use a nail gun or staples. They used good solid roofing tacks. I can't praise them enough. The crew was busy, and kept busy till my roof was done. I have a very steep roof. Nothing extra for that and they even vented for me. Good people. Great crew.
It went very quickly. I expected 2-2.5 days to complete. They finished in 1. The roof looks amazing.

"Tommy and his team did a great job on our chimney! Once it finally stopped raining Tommy and his crew got to work and finished in a reasonable amount of time. Anytime I texted Tommy he would respond answering any questions I had. His work was top notch, rebuilt the crown (which looks bomb proof) and cut out the brick mortar out down to the roof line. Tuck pointed and painted my chimney. Not single drop of water has come in since he finished his work. They cleaned up all materials afterwards too! Really pleased that we hired Tommy Mattingly Masonry, I will be using him again in the future for any of my masonry needs."

FAQs for natural slate roofing installation and replacement projects in Waddy, KY

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.
