My company has been in business for 5 years now but I have 12 years experience in the field. I have all the best tools and know how for a fantastic quality finish every time. I don't scrape like most painters do, I sand so you have a much smoother and longer lasting finish. My company is LEAD certified and fully insured so both of us are covered. I use top quality lifetime warranty paint and never settle with the cheap stuff. I prime with OIL on all exteriors to insure a longer lasting product. No messes are left behind ever, end of the day we pick up and leave our workplace neat and tidey for a productive day when we come back in and end of the job everything is left in better condition than when we first arrived. I only have 1 or 2 other employees other than myself in which I am on every jobsite working next to my employees to answer any questions you might have. We never have loud obnoxious music playing or loud voices going ever. We work from when we get there to when we leave, we don't take 15 coffee or cigarette breaks and a 2 hour lunch. On a normal day we will work from sun up to sun down depending on your schedule. No one in my company smokes on your property ever. We have great prices and try to stay as competetive as we can but in the construction world you the customer get what you pay for, so our prices probably wont be the cheapest but I can guarantee our work will be the best.

Natural slate roofing installations and replacements FAQs

A slate roof is made of thin, even slices of natural slate stone laid over the roof frame and base layer. Slate is a hard, durable rock formed over millions of years from clay and volcanic ash under extreme pressure deep within the earth. Slate roofs are extremely heavy, even when the shingles are thin, so your roof will likely need reinforcement before your contractor can install the slate. These roofs offer a luxurious, high-end look and can last for decades, but they're costly to install and require regular maintenance.

Slate roofs offer several advantages over other roofing materials. Slate is easy to maintain, reliably lasts for decades, and is extremely durable. It offers a high-end natural look that's energy-efficient and provides a good return on investment. However, a slate roof is considerably more expensive than many other options. It's extremely heavy, may require structural reinforcement, and is complicated to install. Although it is strong, the tiles can crack with impact damage.

Real slate comes from natural stone. Synthetic slate comes from various sources made to look like slate. For either hard or soft natural stone, expect to pay $10 to $30 per square foot, each of which will last 50 to 200 years. If you choose synthetic slate, budget $10 to $15 per square foot. These options will last 20 to 50 years.

Slate roofs last for decades when properly maintained, with natural slate enduring from 50 to 200 years. Hard slate lasts 100 to 200 years, soft slate lasts 50 to 125 years, and synthetic slate lasts 50 to 100 years. The support structure and fixings often require replacement before the slate tiles themselves. Extreme weather, such as tornadoes and hail, reduces the overall lifespan of the roof.

Slate roofs are a valuable investment that boost property appeal and resale value. You receive an ROI of 60% to 70% when installing a slate roof. This roofing material is environmentally responsible because it is natural and lasts up to 200 years, keeping replacement waste to a minimum. In contrast, asphalt roofs expire after 20 to 30 years, which leads to increased waste in landfills.

Walking on your slate roof is not safe and you should avoid it. Don't tread on a slate roof because doing so risks damaging the tiles and risking your safety. Slate roofs are delicate despite their durability, and the weight of a person can crack the slate or cause unexpected slips due to a slick surface when wet. Professional roofing crews utilize specialized equipment to access and work on the roof without putting pressure on individual tiles.
