"Can't say enough regarding Perry's Roofing! They were professional from day 1 with providing an overview of the estimate provided by clarifying any questions we had even when asked days later. Very flexible & understanding when needing to move installation dates (a few times!) The crew showed up on time, worked hard to get the roof replaced in 1 day and did a great job cleaning up afterwards. Flawless from beginning to end. Best part was Perry's roofing came in best priced with same quality materials quoted by competitors. Thanks again Perry and team! Wishing you all happy holidays! "

"JJP Contracting came immediately to my house assessed the damage and put a tarp on my roof before it rained again and damaged the inside of my house with water. He provided me with an estimate that was so reasonable that I decided to replace all the shingles and gutters. His crew of workers are amazing they did a beautiful job and were done in three days. They were not only fast but did quality work and cleaned up everything to my complete satisfaction. Personal, professional, punctual quality work. I whole heartedly recommend JJP contracting to anyone who .needs a roofing specialist ! Ken Northcutt White Plains NY"

"I had multiple leaks in a roof that was done 5 years ago. When I purchased the house, the owner told me the roof was recently done. However, upon inspection by multiple roofers we were told it was done improperly and needed to be replaced. After getting a few quotes, we went with King Quality based on their reputation and their warranty. The roof was ripped and done within the same day. The next day all the gutters were replaced. Not only does the roof look absolutely beautiful, but I have no more leaks! We met with Jeff for the quote and he was wonderful. He helped us realize that it was more cost effective to replace the roof entirely, than to just patch the areas. The office staff was wonderful as well in terms of getting everything together! One main incentive was their program to finance the roof for 5 years at 0% with $0 down!!!"

FAQs for natural slate roofing installation and replacement projects in Yorktown Heights, 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.
