"My experience using using Gentry Construction for my roofing needs was nothing but positive. From Dana Gentry's knowledge, and thoroughness in explaining everything, to his professionalism. I want to also acknowledge the roofer crew, who even showed up early, working efficiently and diligently in getting the work done. They even went above and beyond in helping me to determine the cause of the water leaks in my windows that another company installed in 2020."

"The reroof work was done in August 2023. There were a few things that could have been done better. No protection was provided to protect the home from damage during demo work which resulted in my neighbors window getting broken and my roof below getting cut. Also they did not plug or cover the roof drains so the demo debris plugged up the drain causing it to backflow water into the house once the rain season began. Both my neighbor and I had significant water damage to the interior of our homes. They also installed smaller drain boots instead of retrofit drain inserts which allowed the water to backflow around the drain boot and into the interior of the houses. As of October 2024 they have only replaced one of the drain boots and have not returned to replace the second drain boot. So the same water intrusion could happen at this location. Both myself and my neighbor have requested several times for them to come back and finish the fix to eliminate any further damage that could happen. Once the second drain boot is replaced I will update this review."

David's Roofing has proudly serviced the Modesto area's roofing needs since 1977. Our experts are skilled in all types of roofing and offer a variety of services.
"Everything went really well from the beginning meeting with Mario, who explained everything in detail that I had questions about, he also explained about the new type of shingles that are now required that are more reflective, and why more vents would be needed on my older roof. He was very patient, and made sure I felt my questions were thoroughly addressed. Everybody on the team was great to work with, very professional, always friendly and polite, including Alejandra in the office, who kept me updated with emails. The work started at an earlier date than was estimated and was completed in less days as well, including the replacement and installation of the gutters with leaf filters. I was very impressed through the whole process, and I am very happy with the new roof and gutters -- they did a great job!"

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.
