Description of Work: Kevin and his crew first put up snowguards on my slate roof last fall before the winter storms. I was so impressed with Kevin's openness to my curiosity about what he was going to do and how it worked, and then with the promptness and quality of his product, that I knew the I had found my new roofer. I had been using the same roofer for many years, but realized it was time for a change. So when it was time, after the rough winter, to have some slates replaced, I called Kevin. On again, I was very happy with his service. Also, there was a pile of old slates left in the back yard over the years by my former roofer, and he offered to remove them as well. I have the utmost confidence in his honesty and integrity, as well as the quality of his work, and feel very lucky to have found him through Angie's List! I recommend Castle Slate Roofing without reservation. Barbara Coleman

Please see above section.
Description of Work: Kevin Williams answered my initial phone call within the hour and was persistent in renewing his efforts until he reached me. He arrived to assess the work at the agreed upon time and needed no more than a half hour on site. He e-mailed an estimate of cost the next day. With a slate roof involved and there being two damaged areas on my roof, I was very happy with Mr. William's estimate and that he had not tried to expand the scope of the work, as previous slate roofing contractors had done. The Castle Slate crew arrived on time to effect the repairs. The chief asked to see the inventory of slates I already had and said they were better for this job than the type he had brought on the truck. My slates were at a distance from the house, but Castle did not add a charge for the time it took their crew to bring them up to the job site. They finished the job in one day, principally, removing slates broken by the falling tree, repairing the underlayment, and installing new slates, but also, including replacing and painting damaged sections to a fascia board. Mr Williams had anticipated the need for paint and had asked me to have paint in that color available or to give him the formula and the name of its provider for him to get it. The repaired areas of the roof look beautiful and are harmonious with the undamaged area around the repairs. My whole experience with Castle Slate, end-to-end, was so favorable that I now consider them my roofing contractor, and I have informed my previous contractor of that choice.

Excellent!!
Description of Work: I needed my slate roof repaired. My chimney flashed with lead. My rear gutter and soffit's replaced with copper gutter's.front copper gutter repaced. vent pipes(3) covered with copper. Broken shingle's replaced.Kevin Jr. came to look at the job. sent me a quote in a timely manner. I OK'd the job and 3 worker's( Keven was one )showedup when they said they would. They worked from morning till evening and left the place vacuum cleaner spotless each day.They were very skilled and answered any question's and addressed any concern's I had. They even primed and painted all the new wood used.They were so quiet you would have thought they went home!I have lived in this large brick Tudor for 30 year's and have had many slate roofer's on my roof,even one's found in these listing,but none as good as Castle Slate. They will , as long as they are in business, and I am alive, be the only roofer's I'll ever use. Get the best and do it once ! I learned the hard way in the past. Ron Campagna

Strong references, good initial appraisal of work and scope and clear understanding of the special requirements when working on slate. Competitive pricing. Very high quality work, set fair expectation and kept appointments. Cleaned up at the end of each day and made special effort to avoid damage to plants in the borders around house and garage.
Description of Work: Slate repairs, new copper ridges and counterflashing around chimney on house and garage, brass snow rail above front stoop, clean and oil wooden gutters.

Very good experience. Kevin Jr. and his team showed up on time and performed the work in the amount of time they estimated. It's too soon for me to speak to how well the repair lasted (they just did the work a couple of weeks ago) but it looks very good and they did an excellent job cleaning up. In addition, they added an extra strip of copper flashing at no charge because it was needed.
Description of Work: Repaired 2 main roof hips and 4 dormer hips and added copper sheeting. Repaired and cleaned gutters.

I couldn't have had a better experience with Castle Slate Roofing. Kevin was very responsive, the quote he gave was excellent compared to others, and the work he did went smoothly. One of the things I liked was that Kevin explained everything fully and was flexible on letting me pick which of the items on his quote I wanted to get done. Since I'm not an expert on slate roofs and have not been up to the roof at all, I can't fully judge the quality of the job. However, everything looks good from below, we have no leaks, and his workmen seemed knowledgeable.
Description of Work: General maintenance on slate roof: replaced missing/cracked shingles, replaced old vent pipe cover, trimmed trees, cleaned out gutters, and leveled uneven area.

Kevin was each to reach, prompt to show up and was quick to provide us with a detailed estimate and endless references. We unfortunately have not yet moved forward with our roofing project because the winter is on its way, but Kevin was very easy to deal with and did everything he said he would do.

Castle Slate had more knowledge to share of the issues than any other company I spoke to. I was very impressed by the professionalism and really wanted to hire the company to do all the work I needed. I was told I would have a quote two days after the visit, but never received it. I called three times to let them know how much I really would like to have them do the work, but I never got a response back.

Promptly returned my first call and arranged to have Kevin inspect roof to provide an estimate. Did not show up for appointment to inspect roof and did not call to cancel the appointment. Did not return calls when I attempted to reschedule appointment. Its the busy season for this type of work, but I would have expected better customer service.
