What clients say
Hundreds of 5-star reviews
We're proud of the work we do — but it's what our neighbors say that matters most.
★★★★★
After a nor'easter trashed our roof, Slate & Cedar had a crew on-site by morning and worked directly with our insurer. Two days later we had a beautiful new roof — and our premium didn't go up.

Got three quotes for a full tear-off. They weren't the cheapest, but they were the only ones who explained why. A year in and not a single issue — plus they left the yard cleaner than they found it.

★★★★★
Honest people. Their inspector said we didn't need a full replacement — just a targeted repair — saving us thousands. That kind of integrity is rare. Highly recommend.
