"George Pindro replaced my deteriorating slate roof with dimensional shingles. Referral from my neighbor who did the same 6 years ago and is happy. George had the best quote of the few I got, for equivalent or better material. Description of work was very clear and detailed, came a few times to look and answer questions. Very accommodating of changes and additions, started work right away, finished quickly, very good cleanup afterwards. Very pleasant experience and the roof looks great!"

"We got our roof done by Empire Roofing and More and I am so pleased with the end result. Roman was easy to work with and incredibly reliable. He always showed up and/or called when he said he would, and was incredibly responsive all around. Our roof was completed in one day without incident and I am so impressed by how smoothly the process went. I highly recommend using Empire for your roof!"

"I have never been more pleased with a company than this one. We called about water damage to house and when edcarrived he looked at the roof and chimney. He was very honest and professional. Explained to us how the liners we were bad and how the moisture from the furnace was bleeding through the old brick and mortar. He also was able to replace and PERFECTLY match up siding on my house the is at least 20 years old. We also had some shutters that were in the basement that we had bought which I asked him to hang whe they were here. They did the work over two and a half days, cleaned up each day like the was never here. He took pictures of the work on the roof as he progressed and emailed them to me since my house is 3 full storeys high. If you are lookinf for and GREAT CONTRACTOR THEN PLEASE CALL THEM! I aslo have other properties that I will be using him on!! Thanks Ed you did a great job!!

"This is the 2nd time I've used Toth Roofing. I had Steve replace my roof about 7 yrs ago, and he did great job then so I called him when I decided to have larger gutters installed and replace some rotted fascia. Initially I wanted to have siding replaced as well, but Steve talked me out of it, insisting it would not be a good investment. Instead he recommended having it painted, which I did using my painter for 1/10th the cost of new siding. I appreciated Steve honesty and judgement, a rarity in an age of fly-by-night contractors. Steve accommodated my schedule and his crew did all that I asked. I've found Toth Roofing to be a good value, if not always the lowest bidder. We are highly satisfied with work performed and would recommend Toth Roofing without hesitation."

"We had a leak over a small part of our roof last August which caused a portion of the ceiling to collapse. We had the roof repaired and hired Mr. Dell'Aquila to do the plastering. It was an area approximately 4 feet by 5 feet in a small second floor hallway. Additionally, we a large crack in the ceilng on our third floor landing.
Mr. Dell'Aquila returned my call promptly, arrived on time to give me the estimate, and arrived with his crew at the appointed time to do the work.  The second floor ceiling was replaced and the third floor ceiling reinforced and plastered over.The work was done beautifully and quickly.  Before leaving both areas were dusted and vacuumed.

FAQs for natural slate roofing installation and replacement projects in Pittsburgh, PA

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.
