Slate & Slate Construction Inc.

I had a great experience with them.  They provided good information that helped me understand their process.  Sales pressure was completely absent from my conversation with the person who came to give me a quote.  In fact, he directed me to do more research to see if his company was a good fit for me.  I'm really happy with the new roof.  The craftsmanship is evident, and I'm confident they would follow through on their warranties and promises.

To Potential customers of Slate and Slate Construction:
Jefferson, Oregon
We would like to share a few moments of your time to tell
you about our story. We hired a different contractor to pour our 16x20 patio in
April. The job was done very unprofessionally without proper equipment or
knowledge. The concrete was poured unevenly, without protection of my house
siding.  The pad was not compacted, nor
the concrete sealed, and they left footprints throughout the patio in the
concrete, just to name a few of the many problems with the pour.
We contacted Steve
Christenson at Slate and Slate Construction after seeing his work at our
neighbor?s house. He was so different from the first contractor. He was
professional, helped with the assessment to send to the Contractor?s Board for
reimbursement from the first contractor, and efficient. His goal throughout the
project was to make us, the customers, happy.
Steve?s crew, headed by Tyler, came and tore out the old
concrete and formed for the new concrete in one day, whereas the first
contractor took six days to get ready to pour. On the pour day, they were done
in four hours! The first crew took six hours, pouring less square footage, and
no sealant, expansion joints, or walkways. Tyler reinforced the area for the
hot tub with rebar and poured a six inch deep area for the tub, while the rest
was a 4 inch pour.  Steve even poured a small
sidewalk to our storage shed, so that my wife wouldn?t have unlevel changes to
navigate, no charge! Steve plastic wrapped our house to prevent any concrete
spattering; although they were so neat and methodical, there really wasn?t any
splattering.
Steve?s crew went beyond our expectations to correct the
mess left behind from the first contractor. They cleaned their concrete s***
piles up, helped with removal of splattered concrete left on the house and hot
tub walls, and never left any garbage or piles of wood and buckets of old
concrete. Their purpose, as they told us time and again, was customer
satisfaction. And we definitely are satisfied, even ecstatic with our new
backyard!
We would not hesitate for a second to recommend Steve and
his crews for any project, large or small. Our patio is beautiful now, and the
care and commitment to detail was astounding. Don?t make the mistake we did,
hiring the wrong contractor for the job. Hire Steve at Slate and Slate
Construction first! You will not be sorry! 
PS: Go for the stamping! It?s gorgeous!

Update 3/17/15: WE are now seeking Slate and SLate to pour an addition to the patio, that's how much I recommend them.

They were great. They cleaned up after themselves and were always on time.

Totally satisfied with all aspects of the work & workers

It took about three weeks to do the roof.  I had great difficulty in this region finding anyone that did tile roof.  I looked around and suddenly their name just kept coming up.  I actually almost had to talk them into doing this because they just don't do tile in this area for some reason.  They did the work for me because they decided I needed someone to do it and so reluctantly agreed to do it.  Once they did it they were a hundred percent here.  They were prompt and helpful in selecting what I needed to select.  It's a difficult thing to do a tile roof in this region.  They got it done reasonably punctually because it's hard for them to maneuver their scheduling. They wouldn't quite know what they are going to find when they take a roof off so it may take a few more days than expected.  I really liked the work they did and it looks beautiful.  They were very well managed.  They had a lot of workers and they really knew how to maximize what they did well.  I thought they did a very good job.  I don't like having to pay that much money but it's worth it.

It went well, both installations of new roofs.

They were very thorough and careful in their craftsmanship. A great deal of extra time was spent on making the chimney come out right and making the flashing fit perfectly on an existing dormer. All this was done with no extra charge. The overall impression was one of great care, experience and concern. They also did a great job of communicating with me on what they were planning to do and when. Overall I am very pleased with the final product. They were also the lowest of four bidders on the project.

Very well. The leaks had been getting gradually worse during the winter rains. Slate and Slate was recommended by a local contractor. Terry Slate came out and was very knowledgeable and professional. After having gotten two earlier estimates, I hired Terry on the spot. We agreed to hold off on doing the job until warmer weather and he would send a crew out to tarp the leaking areas of roof. Three months later, the re-roof was done in an expeditious and professional manner. It looks great, and no more leaks. There was some slight damage to a deck railing from the tear-off of the old roof, but Terry offered to get it fixed and pay for it. He also did not charge me extra for the tarping or for two additional roof vents that I wanted.
