Margarita Photiou2025-05-19they were fast and great. i would highly recommend themWhole Heart Homes2025-05-13Luis and his team at Zhumas are excellent to work with for all your roofing needs large and small. They came out to a property I had under contract in Portsmouth NH at short notice and gave my buyer a competitive quote. Some companies gave us elevated numbers due to our time crunch with due diligence and others told us we should replace the entire roof (presumably to get more money). Luis told us straight away that the roof had 5-10 years of life left and only needed minor repairs which was in line with the home inspector's findings. My buyer accepted his quote and within a week, the Zhumas team came to the property and efficiently installed a ridge vent, re-flashed the chimney, repaired the masonry, and fixed the ridge caps over the porch. They even re-flashed around 3 exhaust vents as a bonus! They were clean and left no debris. Zhumas' use of a drone for their estimate was very effective and efficient. I would hire Zhumas anytime for my own property or recommend them to a client. These folks are great communicators. Always picking up the phone and professionally staying on top of things! Thank you!Martha L2025-03-30Solid A.

I had a couple of roofing companies come out and take a look and give me an estimate and they were the only company to get up in my roof on top and inside and give me a full evaluation. They were responsive, timely, Answering all of my questions. I felt like I was given a fair price and they were done with the job so quickly.

Types of Slate Roofs We Install
Natural
Natural slate is one of the most highly coveted roofing options available because of its sleek appearance and long-lasting durability. Slate is a natural product and can be expected to last 80 to 100 years when properly installed and maintained. One major factor to keep in mind is that slate is a heavy material. If you would like to consider installing a slate roof, we will have to make sure that your home is structurally capable first!
Synthetic
If you want the curb appeal of slate without having to worry about its weight, synthetic slate is also an option. Although it is not as durable as its natural counterpart, synthetic slate still boasts a lifespan of about 60 years, and the material itself will cost half as much. You will also get to enjoy all the usual benefits of a slate roof, including Class A fire ratings and Class 4 impact resistance—all the highest levels of durability ratings.
