"Larry showed up to do an estimate and we decided to do the section of our Spanish tile roof that was leaking. I worked with Marjorie to get the details of the project worked out and set a date for the work to begin. She was very accommodating and listened to our concerns. She made sure the workers covered our outdoor tiled patios so that it wouldn't get damaged. They began a day early as their schedule opened up early. The work has been going well so we asked if they could do the whole roof. They made that happen. We have been very pleased with them overall. Marjorie is a rock star at her job. She really understands customer service. The workers worked hard the whole time they were here. We would recommend them to anyone who needs a new roof. They do good work and warranty it. Refreshing for us to witness a company who wants to do a good job."

"Like some others, SODO was not the cheapest estimate that we got. But theirs was the most complete and comprehensive, and they followed up several times in an effort to secure our business. In the end, we went with them, and we do not regret our decision one bit. The work was done in one day, and done very well. Ours was a flat roof above our garage that had been leaking for years due to original shoddy workmanship and materials. It is now a solid roof, and nicely waterproofed, firm, and supportive. We have an air conditioner out there, and they replaced the ductwork underneath, and mounted the new air conditioner as well. I am thoroughly pleased, and I highly recommend this company. One day, we hope to put a deck out on this roof, and install French doors to access it through the master bedroom. I know who I will be calling when we decide to do this."

"They did a great job. Quick, professional and great value for the quality of work. The job had very difficult access issues, cleanup required carrying material a long distance down a steep hill. Some contractors would not even bit on the job due to access issues. Green Mountain had no problem. This was a old roof from the 1970's and had a number of patches and attempted fixes which were not of high quality. Green Mountain cleaned off all the old roofing, and noted that the original roof had a design flaw that caused bad drainage. They suggested an easy fix which added several new outlets for water. Their suggestions were a great idea and I had them do that also. They also patched and repainted the inside water damage areas. Their work was such that I no longer even notice that there was water damage which is exactly what I wanted. I would highly recommend them."

"The old peeling painted surfaces were expertly and seamlessly repaired. Shai's workman was an artist, hand-mixing the materials to match exactly the old surfaces, so it all looks like new. The water damage was a longer and more complicated process, involving assessment of water still within the wall (yes), asbestos testing ( positive), and abatement, all before Above & Beyond could start work. When they did, it went as smoothly as possible:The men moved all my bedroom furniture, which includes heavy 250-year-old chests, took down 10-foot-tall curtains and pelmets: scraped and evened out the cement floor, adding a coat of cement, replacing insulation and drywall, installing LVT flooring, and painting. Then they replaced all the furniture. Shai, himself, is professional, experienced, and knowledgeable. These traits filter down to his crews. Everything went as he said, on schedule, with no drama and no fuss. Moreover, when the insurance company was slow in sending the check, he was very understanding, and assured me he would hold my credit card information until the check came in. I cannot praise this company, and the owner, highly enough. Both experiences with them have been a real pleasure - even with my bedroom sitting in the rest of the house! Shai's quiet competence and managerial abilities filter down to his work crew, making everything transparent, smoothly predictable, and very well done. The results have been outstanding, and if I win a lottery, I will hire them again, to redo the whole house!"

It was hard choosing a company to trust with replacing my roof but I’m very glad I went with Alliance. I’d recommend them to a friend or family member."

"I called Alvarado Roofing for an estimate and they were the only company that came out *and* climbed up on the roof to measure and really look at my roof to see what they were getting into. They removed all the layers of hail damaged roofing as well as our flat roof over our patio and replaced it with hail resistant shingles and some really awesome roofing for over the patio. They also decked over where the swamp cooler was (had A/C installed later). They did all of this in one day! They kept in touch and followed up throughout and after the job. We highly recommend!"

"We had the front siding of our home replaced due to wind damage. The job entailed removing partial decking revealing some damage which Noemi explained, it was addressed and care was also taken replacing the decking. She was informative throughout. We are confident of a quality siding installation more secure than the original. Clean up care was also taken. We are hiring again for roofing!"

FAQs for natural slate roofing installation and replacement projects in Albuquerque, NM

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.
