Durable Slate

When the slate roof of my 1946 brick colonial in DC started leaking, all the roofing companies I called recommended that it be replaced. But Edwin of Durable Slate, who carefully looked at (and walked the length of the roof) said that with repairs, the roof could last another ten to twenty years. The repairs were done in Dec. of 2021 by Jose and Melvin.

Four months have gone by, with lots of heavy rain, but no leaks! It's hard these days to find a roofer who specializes in slate. I heartily recommend The Durable Slate Company.

Beautiful work! Our roof doesn't leak anymore! Crew was respectful of our home and property. They cleaned up every night! We are already planning more work to be done by this company. Thank you!

On August 24, 2020 The Durable Slate Company completed the third slate roof repair job on my old stone home. Two highly skilled craftsmen, Edwin and Jose, replaced slate, a beautiful copper roof ridge, and custom made roof vent covers. I continue to be pleased with the quality services provided by The Durable Slate Company.

A fantastic place to work, with honest hard working folks who really - really - know they're respective specialties. We've all heard the horror stories of bad contractors. Durable Slate is world-class at home-grown price. A safe and smart choice for all slate roof repairs. Save time and money by going with the best choice the first time.

The interview process was ok. I felt like I was going to be one of the candidates chosen. But then they filled the position internally.

We have nothing but good things to say about The Durable Slate Company. We hired them to clean our 80 year old slate roof and install a new copper ridge. From initial estimates to the crew working on our extremely steep Tudor roof, they took the time to explain the nature of the job, educate us on slate, and shared helpful best practices to ensure we can enjoy our roof for many years to come. We look forward to our continued relationship with them moving forward.

Exceedingly professional and detail oriented in their work and fair in their pricing. To check my roof, they sent a drone with camera to examine roof thoroughly. Other companies took photos with their camera from edge of roof or from the ground. And, those companies even came in at much higher prices and said I needed to purchase extra slates in case any break while they are repairing it.

This company said they would take the responsibility of replacing any slates they might break. I had work done 6 months ago that was perfect. And, when I questioned how something was done, they said it would be no problem to change it and sent their guy out again to explain the repair. But, then I changed my mind because there way was correct. I then had a leak on a different part of my roof last month.

Because it was an active leak, they sent someone out quickly to prevent any more water from getting in my house until they could schedule an actual slate replacement. Additionally, every person I dealt with in this company was super courteous and helpful and genuine and professional.

Couldn't have asked for a more professional group to work with. Enjoyed working with industry experts on historic train station and freight house slate roofs. Every worker on the jobsite was courteous, knowledge and always willing to answer my questions. If you want the job done right the first time, have The Durable Slate Company do the job!

Durable Slate has been repairing my original slate roof in Mansfield, Ohio for many years. I have always found them to be professional, not only keeping me informed, but doing an excellent job. Afterwards they leave the property just as they found it. I will continue to use them.

We recently had the Durable Slate Co. remove the slate from our old barn roof. I would highly recommend this company. The project manager was very nice and he always kept us informed on the status of the job. They were very friendly and cleaned up very nicely! Very well-ran company. Absolutely no complaints here!

They came out and fixed all 4 leaks in my tile roof that I'd been fighting with for over a year. I'd had 3 other companies out and none of the 3 could fix what Durable Slate was able to do in 1 day. I would highly recommend them.
