"Keith Roofing was excellent. Hugh called us back within an hour of our first call, and came out to check our roof within a week. He gave us a free quote, a full scope description, and pictures of issue areas. After we signed the contract, the Keith team came out the next week to complete the work. So in total, we had everything fixed within 10 days of our first call. Hugh also gave us pictures of all the repairs, walking us through what he and his team accomplished. We'll absolutely work with them again for any roof issues we have."

"Matt responded to my request for an estimate and was able to come out within a few days of my request. It was nice to have a representative from a roofing company be willing to do a small repair and to not try to sell me a replacement roof. I ended up hiring another company that gave me a lower estimate, but I believe W. E. Griffin would have done a good job on the repair."

"I thought Presidential did a good job replacing my roof. I thought the pricing was fair and the job was done from first contact with the company to finish in ~1 month. I would use them for home repair services again."

"Family Home Improvement did a superb job in repairing a portion of my flat metal roof that already had a bitumen layer on top of it. The problem was that water was dripping down the air intake of an installed roof a/c unit which damaged my top floor ceiling. Despite my attempts to coat the roof with aluminum paint and cover any other spots that could be areas of water intrusion, we still had dripping on hard rain days. David came out and talked to me and I shared my own ideas and he recommended a solution. He was straightforward with me and I appreciated that advice. We talked about replacing a gutter as well. The previous roofing estimate that I had received was from a person who immediately wanted to replace the roof. I had been up on the roof several times and knew that there was a less expensive route to attempt. I really appreciated David telling me what he thought was the root of the problem. He told me that it would be a couple of weeks before they would get to the work. I gave the customer service 4.5 out of 5 because I had to call to find out the date after waiting several days to be notified when they would come out to the property. Also, I had to email the day prior to ensure they were coming so that I would be home. Each communication was met with a prompt response. Even when I asked about a new issue that I discovered, it was responded to that day. The work was done well and the crew cleaned up very well. I went up onto the roof a day after the work was done. We had a hard rain a few days later and the result...no leaks! In addition, Family Roofing discovered another problem that I had with the flue for the gas furnace. This was another issue that I was aware of and I had them replace it on the spot. They did an excellent job. I highly recommend Family Home Improvement for roofing work. I would definitely choose them again!"

"Estimator came out with a drone to look at condition of the roof. Gave us 3 different options for roof replacement. We choose the middle price option. Big crew came out and did the work quickly and neatly. The price they quoted us was half of what other contractor wanted."

"Our project manager, Manny, and crew supervisor, Jorge, did a great job with our roof replacement today! Manny was very communicative and helpful throughout the repair. Jorge and the crew were efficient and did a very thorough clean up when finished. Our only concerns revolve around the initial reason we scheduled a repair, which was due to a ceiling leak after a rain storm. The sales person that came out was very nice and informative. He told us that while he could not determine the source of our leak, we needed a new roof. However, in our naivete, we forgot to wait on our insurance assessor before making any decisions. Post insurance assessment, we had a hard time getting answers from either the project manager or sales manager, and just moved forward with the replacement hoping it fixed our issue. Long story short, while the level of service and overall customer service were great, we had a major repair done that may not even be related to our issue. Our roof likely could have waited for a repair. Service=excellent! I would 100% recommend, just make sure you actually need a new roof."

"We recently hired JW Home Improvement to resurface our deck, repair and paint all the trim on the exterior of the house, and make other much-needed repairs and improvements. We very much appreciated Estimator Josh, Field Supervisor Clinton, and Office Manager Michelle for their responsiveness and friendliness. The team they sent to us, Alberto and Javier, were excellent! Highly skilled in so many areas of construction and painting and problem solving, they were efficient, careful, hard working, and thorough. Good natured, they took the time to explain to us what they were doing whenever we had questions. We highly recommend them and plan to hire them again."

FAQs for natural slate roofing repair projects in Washington, DC

If more than 30% of your slate roof is damaged, it's time to consider a full replacement. This will prevent further deterioration and avoid costly recurring repairs. A professional slate inspection (costing between $130 and $360) can confirm whether repairs are sufficient or if a full roof replacement is the better option.

A slate roof can last anywhere from 60 to 150 years, depending on factors like installation quality, regular maintenance and repairs, and local weather conditions. Compared to materials like clay and concrete, which often last around 50 years, a well-maintained slate roof offers superior longevity, durability, and long-lasting aesthetic appeal.

Yes, you can use temporary patch solutions, such as roofing cement or patchwork, to provide immediate relief for minor leaks or underlayment issues observed from inside your home. However, these provisional fixes do not replace the need for a permanent, professional exterior repair, which is necessary to ensure the long-term integrity and weather resistance of your slate roof.
