"3 Son’s Siding & Gutters LLC did my roof about four months ago.They came and gave me a price that was more than fair…3 Son’s were very professional,work very safely.They stripped two layers, found that they had to get plywood and replace the whole roof, it was a bit more but they did the plywood, re-shingled the roof in the one day.i was very impressed with the way all the workers did what needed to be done. The job was done in a day and a half,all the mess was picked up went around the house with magnets picking up all the nails.All I can say I believe they are very professional, very concerned about how my property was left I think it was cleaner than when they started.Very good crew did a great job couldn’t be any happier. Great crew very professional!!!! Thanks for all your hard work.Al Couture Southwick Mass."

"A1 did a great job on my new roof and gutters. Clearly defined scope of work, prompt and flexible scheduling, used high-quality shingles with a good warranty. They don't subcontract out their roofing work, which is a big plus. Considerate workers, documented the new roof with photos and videos, and had everything cleaned up by the end of the day. Recommended for a trouble-free roof replacement."

"We had American Hime Fitters put in a couple doors and windows. We called about a month ago, they were very prompt and professional showing up on time. Our materials as well as the install happened quicker than we expected right before Christmas. If you are looking to get projects done this is the Go to Company. Jay and Shawn were a great pleasure to work with and they made our dreams and expectations happen."

"We hired Alliance Home Improvement to install a new roof, siding, windows, lights, and door for our home and garage. Their professionalism, craftsmanship, and work ethic are simply stellar. The proof is in the pudding - our house looks absolutely beautiful (will post pictures once the snow melts off the roof if we remember to). Serge is trustworthy and keeps all of his promises. He and his crew went above and beyond the call of duty to make sure that all of our special requests were met (for instance, after they installed the JBoxes supporting the lights, I didn't like the proportions, so they got bigger JBoxes and graciously replaced them). When the work was done, Serge did a walk through with us, noting our concerns about little details, and then his crew took the time to polish and tweak every single corner of our house to perfection. Alliance exceeded our expectations and were great to work with. We recommend them highly! 10 out of 10."

"We called G&G when our garage door wasn’t lifting. They came same-day and put a temporary fix in to get us by until the full replacement could come in. From the moment we decided to replace to the time the door was actually replaced was less than 48 hours. Our new door is so quiet now and looks great. And other than the beautiful new door, you would never know they were even in our garage as they cleaned up everything perfectly. We are a new permanent customer."

"Sammy’s Masonry has completed work for our family several times over the last 10 years. They have done roof, chimney, brick stair work. Most recently Sammy’s crafted a new sidewalk along with stairs and landing using bluestone, natural stone and pavers. He used the best quality material and quoted us a very good price. The staff is very conscientious, meticulous and friendly. They worked 3 full days and did a wonderful job. My wife is very happy with the final product. We have already have Sammy’s locked in to do another job for us next year. Sammy’s Masonry stands by their work product and always has been very accommodating. I would recommend Sammy’s without reservation."

FAQs for natural slate roofing installation and replacement projects in Willimantic, CT

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.
