"I work for the Garland Company, we are a roofing and waterproofing manufacturer. As the manufacturer, we hold the final warranty for the project. One of the hardest avenues of my job is to find a professional and quality contractors to install our products. When I have the opportunity to work with United Building Contractors, it puts my mind at ease. Between the hard working office staff to ensure all paperwork work is correct, to the outstanding installers in the field, it’s safe to say they are an outstanding outfit. I would recommend them for any and all roofing projects."

Roofing Contractor
"Absolutely would not recommend using Four Seasons Roofing of Chico. He was recommending by a reputable general contractor, so we felt he was the right choice. We needed to replace our tile roof that had failed. Because time was of the essence, the rainy season was upon us and he was willing to move us to the head of his schedule, we accepted his bid. We had a trip to Hawaii planned for the same week and he talked us into leaving our house in his hands, "I will take care of your house like it is my own!" He did anything but. Not once did he came by to check on his under qualified roofers. His son watched the job, and was rarely on sight. (We watched on our cameras). They did such a poor job it has taken three months to fix the problems, like insufficient roof vents, more had to be added, roofing over some of the gutters, sloppy painting of wood that had to be replaced, and irreparable damage to our deck by the workers dragging roofing materials across the top. And finally, there was venting incident which could have burned our house down. We still have to wait until August 2025 to see some of the buckling shingles will lay down or be replaced, and he is insisting on full payment while we wait. This job has been a nightmare!"

Natural slate roofing installations and replacements FAQs
A slate roof is made of thin, even slices of natural slate stone laid over the roof frame and base layer. Slate is a hard, durable rock formed over millions of years from clay and volcanic ash under extreme pressure deep within the earth. Slate roofs are extremely heavy, even when the shingles are thin, so your roof will likely need reinforcement before your contractor can install the slate. These roofs offer a luxurious, high-end look and can last for decades, but they're costly to install and require regular maintenance.
Slate roofs offer several advantages over other roofing materials. Slate is easy to maintain, reliably lasts for decades, and is extremely durable. It offers a high-end natural look that's energy-efficient and provides a good return on investment. However, a slate roof is considerably more expensive than many other options. It's extremely heavy, may require structural reinforcement, and is complicated to install. Although it is strong, the tiles can crack with impact damage.
Real slate comes from natural stone. Synthetic slate comes from various sources made to look like slate. For either hard or soft natural stone, expect to pay $10 to $30 per square foot, each of which will last 50 to 200 years. If you choose synthetic slate, budget $10 to $15 per square foot. These options will last 20 to 50 years.
Slate roofs last for decades when properly maintained, with natural slate enduring from 50 to 200 years. Hard slate lasts 100 to 200 years, soft slate lasts 50 to 125 years, and synthetic slate lasts 50 to 100 years. The support structure and fixings often require replacement before the slate tiles themselves. Extreme weather, such as tornadoes and hail, reduces the overall lifespan of the roof.
Slate roofs are a valuable investment that boost property appeal and resale value. You receive an ROI of 60% to 70% when installing a slate roof. This roofing material is environmentally responsible because it is natural and lasts up to 200 years, keeping replacement waste to a minimum. In contrast, asphalt roofs expire after 20 to 30 years, which leads to increased waste in landfills.
Walking on your slate roof is not safe and you should avoid it. Don't tread on a slate roof because doing so risks damaging the tiles and risking your safety. Slate roofs are delicate despite their durability, and the weight of a person can crack the slate or cause unexpected slips due to a slick surface when wet. Professional roofing crews utilize specialized equipment to access and work on the roof without putting pressure on individual tiles.
