"Tim and Leading Edge Restoration is very easy to work with. They did an exemplary job in repairing our roof , installing the shingles and with the final cleanup. They were very professional and answered all of my questions and concerns. Tim was very easy to work with and was very patient and made sure I was pleased with everything. He made me feel that I was an important client and that none of my questions or concerns were silly. The roofing crew was very efficient and safety concerned at all times. I am even having Leading Edge Restorations return this spring to put up new trim on my house. I highly recommend Leading Edge Restoration"

"Very nice and professional crew. Installed roof and replaced rotted wood. Made sure past work from other company was corrected so no future issues occur. They made sure everything was cleaned up when they left. We will definitely call them for more projects in the future!"

"Pioneer Roofing tore off two layers of old roofing and installed my beautiful new roof today. They were professional, on time and clean. Marty and his crew answered any questions I had. They were very careful around all of my landscaping which I appreciated very much. They did an exceptional job of cleaning up afterwards and did the entire job in one day! The price I was quoted- which I thought was great price (much cheaper than other quotes) is the price I paid. I would highly recommend this company! Thanks so much Marty and your crew!"

"We couldn't me more pleased with the job Kline did on our roof. Ken was great to work with. He returns calls promptly and came the same day I called to take measurements. The crew was amazing. They arrived at 7AM and were all cleaned up and gone by 2PM. They never took a break. They really hustled. My neighbors were all amazed at how fast it went. They were very meticulous with the clean up. My husband use to be in construction and was very pleased with the roof. He said they did an excellent job. We also thought the price was very reasonable. Job well done!"

"Every part of our dealing with Window Nation was great. From the product quality, initial contact at Cleveland’s Home and Garden show to the sales appointment and through the install. All the reps we dealt with were informative, professional and courteous. The install of 10 windows, including a picture window that replaced 2 standard side by side windows, went without a problem. The installers were on time, worked throughout the work day, and thoroughly cleaned up before leaving. All in all a great experience and I would highly recommend them."

"Every aspect of this project was completed perfectly. Kerri Leggett went above and beyond to get our roofing project approved by insurance due to storm damage. Then, every detail of the project was coordinated perfectly, the crew came out and worked from beginning to end to complete the project and clean up our property perfectly. Without any hesitation or without any reservations I would recommend Kerri Leggett and Thermal Roofing for all your roofing needs"

FAQs for natural slate roofing installation and replacement projects in Walnut Creek, OH

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.
