SlopePro is not your ordinary roofing company. Founded by third generation roofers, we deliver to you a detailed line by line scope of work with an estimated price. Our skilled roofers can quickly execute your job. We then take the worry out of wondering if the job was done right by re-inspecting the job and giving you the peace of mind that comes with a comprehensive warranty. SlopePro is the ONLY roofing company you will ever need again.
"After a section of our flashing had broken loose as the result of very high winds, and about half that section ultimately then ending-up actually breaking all of the way off, we reached-out to others whom we know to be highly experienced, reliable, and well-respected professional resources for a recommendation, from which SlopePro Roofing came back immediately, and without hesitation. As this occurred over the weekend, on Sunday… I called and left a message with SlopePro. Very first-thing the following morning, Monday, SlopePro was on my phone in response to my voicemail from late the previous day and, to my relief, was very surprisingly able to schedule Justin to come to our home mid-day of that very same day to evaluate the damage and provide a quote. The next two actions that resulted are very much the driving forces behind our being not only willing, but actually more than happy to take time out of our demanding schedule like this to ensure that SlopePro is recognized here, as follows: #1) After his evaluation of the -whole- of our existing roofing system/environment - - - not just merely the flashing damage for which he had been called out about - - - Justin informed me of a very routine minimum charge which would always apply to any contracted work, regardless of the work to be performed, and further then also informed me as well of several other discrepancies that he had identified, as the result of his very comprehensive inspection. It was - - - in that moment, and continuing on until now - - - when Justin and SlopePro immediately began to win our respect, and our business - - - current and future - - - as he-himself proceeded to the committing of SlopePro’s otherwise *additional* time and resources over those which would have instead been just minimally needed, in order to just simply repair/replace only the flashing (while of course still enforcing the minimum charge) and then moving-on. But… instead now also… of his/their very-own voluntary offering… additionally include the repair of ALL the current discrepancies across our entire roofing system and environment for that same minimum charge. Which - - - as is quite substantially noteworthy and important to acknowledge here - - - included upwards of about 15 to 20 missing asphalt shingle flaps in our instance! And… (yes, there’s more) in light of the timely and pending sale of our home, they took things even further by making accommodation to schedule the work for the very next-day, Tuesday. Things you just don’t see very often, if at-all, any more. #2) Well, #2 is as straightforward and simple as one would hope it to be… Not only did “they” show-up the next day and perform exceptional quality repairs… as it turns out… the roofing professional who showed-up to execute those quality repairs in our instance was non other than Alden Echols himself. President, and one of SlopePro’s 3rd generation family owners! Needless to say, the repairs were all completed to the highest standard, and they were actually even able to so closely match the color of our 16 year old shingles that you genuinely cannot distinguish which are the old original shingles, from the newly-repaired/replacement flaps! TO SUM IT ALL UP: I do recall, from days of old, these seemingly now non-existent concepts of ‘Integrity’, and ‘Going Above-And-Beyond’, which seem to be reserved these days for inclusion in merely folklore… novels… and movies. But after our experience with Alden and Justin and all the SlopePro Roofing team, I’m encouraged to have personal affirmation that these do indeed still exist around us, even today. So a big-fat and very genuine “thanks!”, once again to SlopePro! AND… a resounding “YES”… We would of course, unquestionably recommend SlopePro to everyone with any roofing needs whatsoever. Very Sincerely, Dan and Irene Allred Varina, VA"

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.
