Slate (slate roofs and tiles), shingles, waterproof flashing
Excellent
Typically same day to within 24 hours
High pricing or perceived overcharging; leaks persisting after service requiring multiple visits; claims of dishonesty or scams; delays in addressing issues
They stand behind the work (guarantee-like assurances)
Excellent
Mixed: some say prices are higher than competitors but quality justifies it; others feel pricing is excessive or unfair
For slate roofs, hire a qualified slate specialist ('slate guy'); ensure proper maintenance around flashing (e.g., chimney flashing) to prevent leaks
