"Charlotte Roofing Specialists replaced our roof this week. They were excellent from the day of the estimate to the day they completed the work. TJ came to look over our roof. He went into the attic to look over potential problems, and sent us the pictures he took on the roof itself so we could see and discuss what needed to be done. He took his time and patiently answered all our questions. The quote was thorough and detailed, plus it included a cash only discount. We also want to mention Holly, the employee who was always kind when answering our financial questions. The day of the project, everyone was on time, worked hard, and respectful of our property. We’re very happy with the service and professionalism of Charlotte Roofing Company and greatly recommend them."

"Fidelity roofing did a wonderful job replacing my roof located maiden north carolina. Jonathan and Maria are great communicators. They helped me understand the whole process is a very digestible way. The roofing crew was on and off my roof in a day and we're willing to show me how they spend just a bit of extra time and use quality materials to make sure I get the best roof possible. If I ever need another roof, you bet I'll be calling fidelity roofing."

"Having windows installed by Power was a GREAT decision! Stephanie Galo came to our home and provided information on window types, installation, and pricing. She was friendly and informative. Answered all our questions and did not put pressure on our decision. The installation crew was timely, professional, and hard-working- I could not believe how efficient the installation process was! A huge thank you to Mike Santos for checking up on the installation, reviewing the warranty, and providing information on his attic inspection. He is a true company ambassador and asset to your team."

"I needed four new exterior exhaust vents, some vinyl siding popped back into place, a shingle replaced, and a ceiling hook installed. Two of the vents, vinyl, and the shingle were about 16+ feet up, and the other two vents were about 10 feet up. I mostly wanted to get someone out here to do it because I didn't want to buy a $200+ extendable ladder to do it myself. I was contacted and given pricing fairly quickly. Which at $55/hr with no minimum of 3-4 hours, beats the other handymen I've gotten quotes for. He arrived, and was very polite and friendly. Absolutely great person in general. He jumped right into the work, and I wasnt given an estimate after he understood the work needed. but given quotes by others and over the phone, I imagined it to be maybe like 2 hours (or 3 with a supply run), so I didn't pay it any mind. It took 4.5 hours, though I believe the handyman doing the maintenance was experienced, he seemed to definitely be new to the company and had to call back about certain procedures. At one point the professional asked for my help during the work day, or else he was going to need either someone else or different tools (which when you're paying hourly, the meters running, so I may as well help). They didn't bring a 8-10 foot ladder, so the professional borrowed mine. When moving their 20ft ladder, there was nearly a point where I pointed out the end of ladder was starting to pull up my shingles while he was trying to finagle the positioning of this ladder. The work on the vents is certainly caulked, but the vinyl siding around it is questionable. I don't think there will be a problem with any of the vents moving forward, and certainly functional. However, the vinyl edging around the vents (to essentially make them look pretty, and maybe prevent water) was torn away when pulled out which I don't think was necessary. The rest of the vinyl siding and the shingle was repaired, and due to the clock ticking, I decided to do the ceiling hook and light repositioning. When given the final invoice, I wanted to pay with Credit Card, it wasn't until as I was paying that I was presented with a 3.5% charge for using Credit Card, that isn't on their original pricing sheet given to me by email. Overall, The handyman was experienced though new, I received no estimate in the beginning, I was surprised at how long it took, quality was very average, professionalism was good at times and terrible in others. But the work did get done, and I don't think Ill have a problem with the work down the road. They do have one of the best prices out there, but it took long enough that it didnt matter at that point. Additionally, a surprise 3.5% upcharge for credit card is kind of obnoxious. Given the opportunity again, I would probably someone else."

"Had the pleasure of hiring Vail-Syde Construction to replace 28 windows and a double door at our home. From all the contractors we had out to quote the job, he stood out the most with his knowledge. Our home is 37 years old and so were the windows. From start to finish, the job took only two days! We didn't feel overwhelmed during the project and it didn't take weeks to complete. Ruston, one of the owners was on site daily to oversee the project/ answer any questions I had. Very thankful to find this company and their workers!"

"Excellent. My neighbor had used Troy Fitch (Cornerstone) for his roof and HIGHLY recommended him. I contracted with him to replace my roof, clean the gutters (and make some small repairs), power wash my house and refinish my deck. EVERYTHING was done extremely well and in a prompt time frame. His employees were great, and the communication between the owner (Troy) and the homeowner (me!) went very well. <br /> <br /> I was definitely impressed with their professionalism and quality, and their prices were very competitive (not the lowest, but competitive - WELL worth it!) I would DEFINITELY hire them again (and will, to powerwash my house every year and restain the deck every few years). <br /> <br /> Great company - don't hesitate to call them."

"They did a great job! My roof looks great! Reliable and kept me well informed about everything. They kept cost in mind and cleaned up nicely after themselves. Serge even came out late to tarp the roof until it could get repaired so that I didnâ t have any further damage to the house waiting for the roof. They were very nice to work with. Great people. I canâ t say enough good things about them!"

FAQs for natural slate roofing installation and replacement projects in Matthews, NC

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.
