Twice we contacted this company. and twice they were the most expensive quote. Not by a little but by about 10 times ($13k quote that we ended up paying $1200 with another company and $5k that ended up costing $500 with another company.) We are sure they were trying to take advantage of us by up-selling and suggesting unneeded work.

Response from The Durable Slate Co
Our estimators try to be as thorough as possible. And when it comes to slate/tile, we feel it's better to suggest repairs that prevent further issues rather than a temporary solution. We would never suggest unnecessary work. Our biggest priority is maintaining the home for future generations. If you would like us to come back for another assessment, we would certainly welcome the opportunity to work with you again. Thank you for your time!

we've used durable slate for 15 years for routine maintenance on a slate roof, major repair of copper work after hail damage and on two occasions redoing work mishandled by contractors during remodeling. we've never been disappointed in their work or professionalism.

The first chimney went well; however, we had to ask them to return to do some additional clean up, which they did. We then asked them back to finish the 2nd chimney and that went well.

Durable Slate has done work on my roof in the past, and I wouldn't consider using any other company for slate work. My home is 100+ years old, and I trust Durable Slate to assess my needs and to do the work that needs to be done to maintain my roof, and to do it at a fair price. They are very professional, and work is completed in a timely manner. I would strongly recommend them to anyone who is trying to preserve a slate roof.

The work was always completed for the price quoted. Afterwards, they would send a person out to check the quality of the work done. If it wasn't done to their standards, they would have it redone.

Excellent job. After it was finished, the foreman came out to inspect, and decided that more slate repair needed to be done. This was done the following week.

They are wonderful to work with. They do thorough and detail oriented work and are excellent communicators. This is my 2nd experience with this company and both times they did excellent work.
Description of Work: Our roof was leaking and their estimate team came out to look at it, quickly assessed the problem and fixed it promptly. I was very impressed with how thorough they were. Another man came out to inspect the work and found some tiles that were not repaired and they sent a team out to fix them a few days later.

From the initial contact, I was very impressed with Durable Slate. They were responsive, came when they said they would come, and each crew that came was professional and cleaned up after themselves. Their quality assurance team picked up things that I hadn't noticed, and had them corrected. I think it is rare that a contractor sees something that isn't up to a certain standard and then takes the initiative to repair it without the customer asking and without additional costs.
