"All phases of the work done by this company were excellent.  Ken immediately recognized it was a drainage problem that was  causing my room addition to settle, resulting in cracks in the inside walls.  He gave a fair bid, then he and his crew added fill dirt and poured concrete, as well as  moving sprinkler heads away from the foundation.    

The concrete work he designed for this utility area of my yard is fantastic.  It runs the full length of the room addition, angles over past the kitchen window and back garage door, making a roomy surface in the formerly sunken corner, then all along the back of the garage, around the corner, and under the gate ... a total of approximately 54 feet long and 3 feet wide along the walls.  In addition to assuring rain water will now always drain away from the house, this creates a neat place for the charcoal grill, recycle containers, fire pit, hose reel cart, and a couple of upright storage sheds.   They did a terrific job, and I think the whole thing is beautiful! 

I could not be more pleased with the repair of the inside walls which involved some re-taping, a lot of patching, and sanding until the walls were perfectly smooth.  These guys did a much better finish job than the original builder did!  Fortunately, I had enough of the same wall paint left rom the last time the room was redone.  They did a very nice job of applying that.  The room looks great!     

Ken and his crew have the attributes a person always hopes for when  hiring a contractor ? honesty, meticulousness, congeniality, punctuality, and attention to detail ? to name a few.  They worked hard and fast, completing the job in a timely and outstanding manner."

"Operations manager, Scot Willis, was extremely responsive and knowledgeable. Honestly, I probably wouldn't have gone with Advantage if it wasn't for Scot. I feel that he was honest and didn't just try to sell me a roof (as overall the roof was fine) with many of the roofing companies coming in and overpromising. He helped me through the insurance process and even called back the gutter contractor to fix something that I overlooked."

FAQs for natural slate roofing installation and replacement projects in Walton, KS

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.
