"Roofing & More did an outstanding job, Chris & Tim are superior craftsmen installing a new front door and repairing water damage caused by the builders' poor installation. Their innovated threshold design should protect from damage for years and the new front door looks great and operates perfectly. They also did an amazing job replacing an old sliding glass patio door with a real single hinged door with windows. It looks so much better than a slider and the new installation was expertly insatlled."

"Had our roof replaced, looks like a clean install. Trey was easy to talk to and was very assuring. We'll see how the roof holds up against this weekend's snowstorm or whatever's coming our way. Yes I copy pasted my own review from Google Reviews."

"Excellent! Very fast and extremely Knowledgeable-I really like the fact that they focus only on roofing and they just they didn’t just come out and inspect the air my roof water was leaking inside the interior they went inside to actually see the water stain to see exactly what needs to be repaired. Most importantly they focused on repairing the area requested versus other companies who oppression me to replace the entire roof Versus focusing on the area with the issue"

"The staff at Peak Roofing Contractors made it very easy to work with them. They were friendly and very responsive to my questions or inquiries. They replaced our asphalt shingle roof at a reasonable price. The work went smoothly and they did a great job cleaning up after the work was finished. We were happy with the quality of the work--my wife said we now have the best-looking roof on the block. I would use Peak Roofing Contractors again for other major home improvement projects and I would not hesitate recommending them to others."

"Ernie was great to work with. He did an awesome job, was on-time and on-budget. I will definitely hire RestoreBuild for all of my future carpenter needs. I am already planning to replace my worn-out deck next spring and I will use RestoreBuild. If you hire Ernie you won't be disappointed."

"Thank you James Im, Antonio and crew for an amazing experience and a job well done! It is rare these days to find a home improvement company that you can trust from beginning to end. AHC staff and representatives ensured that every detail from estimates, to coordinating delivery of materials and quality control of installation was performed to the highest standards and exactly on time. James and Antonio/crew were attentive to our every question and concern, and in the end made the experience with AHC a memorable one worthy of the highest level recommendation. Bottom line: If you choose any other roof replacement contractor - you will be making a mistake!"

"I met Chris Bazow, owner and president of Window
Source of NOVA, at the Loudoun and Fairfax County Homeshow in April when I was
looking for a vendor to replace our 30 year old Anderson sliding glass patio
door. This Homeshow was a great place to talk to many vendors and I ultimately
asked six of them to provide an estimate for this work. The first place that
Chris stood out was that he didn't demand that both myself and my wife be
available for a 60-90 minute presentation. Many vendors I talked with would not
even come out if I couldn't guarantee that my wife would be there. I'm not sure
why this is such a common practice, but I found it very annoying since it is
difficult to find that much free time to meet with multiple vendors given our
respective schedules (and my wife had delegated this project to me anyway ;).
Even when I explained this situation, many vendors refused to alter their sales
process and therefore were dropped from consideration (lousy customer service to
start with in my opinion).

Working with Chris on the other hand was extremely
easy. He arrived on-time for our scheduled appointment. He took the necessary
measurements and then provided estimates for various door options. He used no
high-pressure sales tactics...just gave us the facts. The price he quoted was
lower than all other vendors for a vinyl door with a wood grain interior
finish. With most other vendors, a wood grain finish upgrade was quite
expensive (e.g., as much as $1k more in some cases). The Window Source price
was much, much lower than this. Plus, when ordering this interior, you
automatically got an upgraded door handle. After talking with many vendors
(including Home Depot and Lowes), Windows Source of NOVA seemed to provide the
best overall package for a good quality, energy efficient patio
door.

I subsequently worked with Chris on a contract for
the installation, making some minor modifications to their standard boilerplate
contract. Chris had no problems working on this with me, making the changes to
the contract I requested. One example change was to include the warranty
information in the contract. The warranty on the patio door is outstanding with
a lifetime guarantee for both hardware and labor, with the HW
warranty transferable to a subsequent owner. I viewed these as important
aspects of this sale so wanted to make sure they were explicitly stated in the
contract.

After completing the contract and providing half
the cost up-front, Chris told me to expect the door to be delivered in
approximately 3 -weeks. The door arrived on time 3 weeks later. The
installation team was very professional. Chris was also there to watch the
installation that was estimated to take about 6 hours (it ultimately only took
about 5 hours to complete). The finished product was beautiful. The door
itself was very solid with the wood grain interior matching our kitchen cabinets
very nicely. The custom capping on the exterior looked great as well. I could
not be more pleased with the results.

I would highly recommend Windows Source of NOVA to
anyone looking to install a sliding glass patio door. My experience with them
was excellent. I would also not hesitate to use them for window replacements
if/when this becomes necessary."

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

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.
