"They installed a gorgeous new roof for us. The whole crew was very professional and courteous. Having once worked for a roofing company, I checked the quality of the installation and I can say that I couldn't find anything that wasn't done exactly how it should have been done! Highly recommend this roofing company in Albany NY."

"Two thumbs up for a great job by Perfect Exteriors ! We had to replace our roof and after collecting several quotes from different vendors, we chose Perfect Exteriors for the install. We are so glad we did. Ed Drake met with us and provided a detailed estimate that included some features the others neglected. He was also able to provide the longest warranty for his work and product. (That has to be earned!) His staff were all respectful and very hard working. They arrived on time, draped the entire house to protect siding and the landscaping. They completed the job within one day as promised and cleaned the entire yard before departing with all discarded materials. Both Ed and his foreman, Steve were easily accessible by phone and provided us with accurate information. This is a family run business that cares about the quality of their work and their reputation. Need a new roof ? Call Perfect Exteriors. You'll be glad you did."

"They installed a metal roof on both my barn and my house. It looks absolutely awesome. I had a great experience from beginning to end and this was during COVID. Dave came out and gave us an estimate within 2 days, he followed up with us like a professional and went over the quote line by line. Ronaldo and his crew are absolutely professional and work extremely hard, show up early and work all day. They have complete attention to detail in their work. They went above and beyond replacing rotted siding as well. My other quotes and other jobs I've hired out, I legitimately had to chase down the contractors. These guys I never had to do that. That being said, I highly recommend them."

My property was cleaned up very well when the job was finished, including using magnets to pick up any stray nails. Everyone was very professional and nice. Roof looks beautiful and I am very happy with it. I would highly recommend this company"

"

This project involved a historic stone building, built in the 1700's, and located in a designated historical district. (Just for a little background, this building was burned by the British in 1777.) Everything went very smoothly for a project of this complexity. Derek and his crew are all very professional and he has a contract that clearly spells out all rights, responsibilities and remedies available to the contractor and property owner. I've been in property management for over 25 years and this is the first time I've seen this. I've dealt with a lot of contractors over the years and I can't think of one that comes close to the excellent experience that I've had with Derek and his employees.

Everything was completed, weather permitting, in a timely manner. All debris was removed and the site was left in perfect condition.

He will also go above and beyond in order to get the job done right. In this instance, he had to bring I a heavy duty lift to safely perform the highest work. Unfortunately the weight of the lift broke some of the bluestone walkway that surrounds the building. Derek never tried to skirt responsibility and it was decided, after talking to the city building inspector, that the affected stretch of sidewalk would be fully replaced with an asphalt surface. After it was finished he sent me a pic and the work was excellent.

HOWEVER, a couple days later the Dept of Public Works came by and said it all had to come up and be replaced by bluestone. The city, thankfully, would supply the stone. Now, mind you, this was in no way Derek's fault. He had gotten prior approval from the building dept. That notwithstanding, the beautiful brand new asphalt sidewalk was removed and replaced by Derek.

In my opinion, after dealing with many contractors over the years, you'll not find a more professional, competent or skilled contractor than Remodeling Concepts and Derek Loughran. I used him again for a rather large roofing job on another building and the experience was also excellent. I'll be posting a separate review for that project. These projects are not our last ones together.

FAQs for natural slate roofing installation and replacement projects in Woodstock, NY

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.
