"We had consultations with multiple roofing companies but we stopped after meeting Danny. He was very professional and very polite and provided my family and I great service. We were very appreciative for his professionalism, transparency, and honesty throughout the process and had no issue referring him to friends and family who needed anything roofing. Thank you so much Danny, you are the best! We would recommend Danny to anyone who is looking to fix or replace their roof!"

Customers say: True professional

"Zenith Roofing Services is a top-quality organization, extremely ethical and with highly qualified and professional employees. I called them to repair a small area of our tile roof and after removing some tiles and inspecting the tile underlayment in a limited area they provided a bid for both the repair work and a lift and replacement of a new two layers of underlayment. We elected to replace the underlayment on the entire roof as the existing paper is 30 years old as showed signs of cracking. The crew showed up each day at 8:00 am and before the end of the day swept the perimeter of the house and remove everything that may have fallen from the roof. I could not be more please with the job Zenith Roofing Services provided. John H Davies"

"I had a small roof leak. I got a few estimates, Excaliber was the lowest although they had a disclaimer that the bill could be higher if they found wood rot. They did find a small amount and there was a small extra charge but I think it was fair. I would definitely use them again after some bad past experiences with roofers, it's nice to find an honest and professional company."

"Really, very helpful, guys! I met with them because our roof was starting to get old in the garage. So, I decided to replace them before they begin to have leaks. I contacted the hometown restoration team over the phone, and they showed responsiveness and interest to provide us with an excellent job. He promised to return in a week to give me a presentation and a quote after my initial consultation. I was blown away when Luis returned a week later! He offered a PowerPoint presentation and explained the full details of our roof, which needed to be fixed together with their roofing licensing. After presenting the whole process clearly, I got confident to work with them. I hired their service, and the price was cheaper than the other firms in the area. They are very professional and know how to keep roofs in good shape during storms or high winds. Highly recommended hometown restoration for a greater experience!"

".The guy came and looked at my roof but I don’t think he looked at it closely because he said that my roof is a candidate for painting and that I need do just little repair.  He quoted $4500 to do some repairs and to do the painting. He missed the mark because I spoke to him at length.  I told him that another roofer came and lifted the underneath part which you did not lift up and everything came apart. So he did not do a thorough enough job when he gave the estimate.  I told him that the other guy said it was pretty bad and that it was not torched enough and he could lift big teeth over the edge.  Then Foothill told maybe I was a border line candidate for painting. I was not even a border line candidate for painting unless it was re-roofed.  I don’t think they accurately assessed me. He was punctual and has a lot of experience. I am glad that he did not do the job. He would have covered up with some paint. I will not use this company in the future."

FAQs for natural slate roofing installation and replacement projects in Winchester, CA

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.
