"I am very disappointed that i never received a call from Jerry or anyone. I used them several times and use to praise them for reliability and quality. I've read similar reviews so I am glad it wasn't personal. Jerry if your reading this I hope you take this seriously. I really thought your business had more integrity than the other contractors. Even the small jobs are important.

"It went excellent!  Hi Tech Construction Co gave me a detail estimate of the job.  And compared to other estimates I received from several other companies, Hi Tech's was the most reasonably priced.  Hi Tech also gave me a timeline of the job from beginning to finish and they were right on target.  The crews showed up on time and carried out the job like experts - they surely looked like they knew what they were doing.  I noticed that they were very concerned about the safety of our neighbors, anybody passing by, their crews, and us.  They also cleaned everything right after they finished their job.  I was really happy with the timeliness and the quality of their job.  I will definitely strongly recommend Hi Tech.  I do not think you can go wrong with them.

 I met Maria , and right away I knew she was the right person for the job. It is scarey hiring peple to be in your home. However, she had such a can do attitude, that it was infectious. I loved the fact that when she came into my home, she used protective booties over her sneakers to protect my floors from getting dirty.
I showed Maria the project, I wanted a new kitchen, I was nercous about her enthousiatic plans, but trusted her. Maria removed everything from my kitchen, she removed a complete wall, and rebuilt one about 18 inches back, giving me so much extra room, then she repaired walls, and installed my new cabinets, and instead of having this big table in my way, I couldnt believe this could happen, but she installed a wonderful breakfast bar type table, I am able to fit 4 stool under it, and it is connected to my wall, this gave me extra space in my kitchen, and the space is wide open to my living room, so the breakfast bar honestly seperated my rooms, which I love.
and she installed the cubboards to fit right down on top of the new fridge, which is also great since I hate that things get lost up there at times,
Maria also installed new floors.

The bathroom was a simple bathtub surround and paint, gutters were always a problem, she added some down spouts, and it is helping the rain to go away from the front door, No more ice.
I am so impressed with this women, she worked very hard day and night, and I felt as I was the most important person to her at the time of her project, and she really controls her employees, she makes sure that they are just as respectful and professional as she is, and they seem to enjoy working for her very much, which says allot, she also gave me her insurance information,and interduced herself to my neighbors, provided them with her phone number, and apolgized for any disruption during the project, my neighbors thought this was very considerate, and I agree,
I rated her a B on the billing because at the time, i thought this was allot of money, it did not include materials, but she is worth every penny.

"Mr. Russo responded promptly to my call and came over immediately to give me an estimate.  His estimate was competitive with other estimates I received.  I decided to go with Mr. Russo because of his professionalism and apparent expertise in roofing.  I was not disappointed.  He finished the job within the time frame promised and kept the cost to his estimate.  He assured me that his work is guaranteed and the problem leak is fixed.  I will definitely use him for future roofing jobs.

FAQs for natural slate roofing installation and replacement projects in Waterloo, NY

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.
