"I had Martino Home Improvements replace my roof back in 2020, which the initial installation had a fair amount of issues ranging from improper tarping of the roof during the installation, which ended up with rain pouring into my house when it rained. Since the repair I have now had leaks and in multiple places along with improper venting, which has meant rusty nails and ice forming on nails, after spending 30k on the replacement they are now looking for another 1,450 to add more venting to fix their install. I am not impressed and wouldn't recommend them."

WeatherGard is a family owned and operated business that has been providing exceptional service and the highest quality products and installation to Michigan for nearly 30 years. Our Michigan made commercial grade vinyl windows stand the test of time. Unlike other companies, WeatherGard manufactures the windows it sells, giving homeowners the opportunity to purchase our commercial grade windows directly from the factory and not through a dealer or other middle man. WeatherGard also installs roofing, insulation, entry doors, siding and gutters.
"Here’s the revised review reflecting the clarification: I’m very disappointed with my experience. During the first visit, I was given a verbal quote but nothing in writing. I had them come back out to quote our bay window, but during both visits, the window above our kitchen sink was missed. I was later contacted by the sales office via calls and texts, stating they could do the job for $. I specifically confirmed that this price included all windows, including the bay window. However, when the salesman returned, he identified that the window above the kitchen sink had been missed and claimed they couldn’t honor the price. I was never provided with a formal quote to review and verify for accuracy. The new price jumped nearly 3k, and although I offered to split the difference, this was declined. This kind of inconsistent communication and unprofessional handling of the pricing is unacceptable."

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.
