With nearly 500 five-star online reviews and A+ rated by the Better Business Bureau, Encore has succeeded in giving exceptional service and superior quality to its customers with no dissatisfied customers to date! Most customers found our metal roofing costs to be less than half of other companies, and in many cases less than the cost of a shingle roof replacement. Metal roofing is far superior to shingle roofing for the following reasons; #1 – it is much cooler than asphalt shingles- regardless of color. #2 – it is equivalent to the same cost. #3 – the lifetime of a metal roof is 3 to 4 times that of a shingle roof— or longer. #4 – Metal roofing increases the resale value of your home. #5 – Metal roofing eliminates the possible need for replacing any wood decking due to the fact that the metal roofing is installed using its own wood strip foundation. This is a huge cost savings for roofs that have possible rotten or weak wood decking. #6– Metal roofing sheds water much better than asphalt shingles, and is 2 to 3 times less likely to leak. #7 – the highest wind rating for a regular shingle roof is 130 mph – Metal roofing is 2 to 3 times better. Here are some myths online and otherwise that are simply NOT true regarding Metal roofing: #1 – Metal roofing is actually NOT heavier than shingle roofing— it is less than half the weight of shingle roofing. #2 – Metal roofing is NOT noisy due to the fact that we leave the existing shingles as a sound barrier and a thermal barrier. #3- Metal roofing is NOT 2 to 3 times the price. #4- Metal roofing does NOT affect cell phone reception or Internet usage. Although Encore Roofs specializes in quality and affordable metal roofing, we also provide other services such as blow in attic insulation and pressure washing. Customers like us because; - We are NOT a franchise- we are locally owned and operated. - The owner is on every job, every day of the job. - 95% of all projects are completed within within two weeks of a signed contract. - once work begins on a project, pricing does not change. - trustworthy, professional, communicative, clean work practices, quality materials, guaranteed installation, competitive cost. - Sorry; No hablo español. We look forward to working for you, and making you another one of our very happy customers :-)
"Encore Roofs did a excellent job on repairing my roof. I will not hesitate to use them again. Brian and his son completed the job in 2 days. Brian is personable, honest, and explained the issue and resolution. My roof has leaked since we purchased the house, and per the neighbors, since the house was built. The house has two different transition pitches on two different sections of the roof. The older part of the house was designed wrong and had no flashing. The newer add-on had transition flashing that was installed wrong. I talked to 3 companies as to how they would remediate the issue. One gave a quote over the phone via a satellite view only. Encore roofing and the other company met with me in person. Encore Roofs' repair design made sense, has a 10 year warranty on the work, and was competitive priced. The other companies only had warranties on a new roof. Encore Roofs replaced the ridge cap, put in a ridge vent, put in transition flashing on the older part, replaced the transition flashing on the newer part, fixed the roof rake, re-screwed the older part of the roof, and removed the old roof debris. Brian's innovative design eliminated the foam (that dry rots with age) under the transition flashing and the ridge cap. Brian also gave me the option to keep the left over new flashing and ridge cap. The completed work looks great."

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.
