"I can’t thank Rackley Roofing and Supply enough for the swift and quality job replacing my roof! Not only was David’s estimate honest and fair compared to the other quotes I received, but I was also able to replace the old shingles with architectural shingles which are more durable, visually appealing, and have a longer life. I would highly recommend calling David Rackley for all of your roofing needs. He was honest with all of my questions and dependable throughout the whole process. It was a pleasure to work with him!"

"Stephen M I wanted to have some extensive work done on my Roof and I contacted Roof It Forward. The Representative who came to discuss the project was Mr. Jeremy Clendenin. He was professional, cordial, and very informative in our discussion, so I decided to have a Roof Replacement and have his company do the job with him as my representative. He then submitted his proposal which was quite comprehensive and covered all the areas & items that were necessary for the project. Jeremy liaised with my insurance and me and we agreed and accepted his proposal. Jeremy and I then agreed on a date for the project. Early on that morning the workmen came and started working on the roof, and by the evening the old shingles on the roof were removed and the new shingles installed. The workmen returned early the next morning and completed the job and removed all the debris that fell around the house and left the area clean. After the workmen were done, Jeremy came by and checked roof and the area around the house, and then contacted me to do the same. The job was done to my satisfaction, and I was quite happy with its completion. During my interactions with Jeremy, we developed a great relationship, I was able to call him anytime to discuss anything and he was always available. Jeremy is a great guy and a worthy Representative of his company ARAC Roof It Forward."

"Greg was very informative and had pictures of the products available to replace my old roof. He matched the shingles to a more recent shed that was built which was great. Responds promptly to text and kept me informed through the entire process. The crew working on my roof were very polite, hard working and you’d never know they had been to my house. I love my new roof and would recommend Greg and his team to anyone who is looking to replace their roof and reasonably priced. I can’t thank you guys enough for an amazing job you did!!!"

"Really, very helpful, guys! I met with them because our roof was starting to get old in the garage. So, I decided to replace them before they begin to have leaks. I contacted the hometown restoration team over the phone, and they showed responsiveness and interest to provide us with an excellent job. He promised to return in a week to give me a presentation and a quote after my initial consultation. I was blown away when Luis returned a week later! He offered a PowerPoint presentation and explained the full details of our roof, which needed to be fixed together with their roofing licensing. After presenting the whole process clearly, I got confident to work with them. I hired their service, and the price was cheaper than the other firms in the area. They are very professional and know how to keep roofs in good shape during storms or high winds. Highly recommended hometown restoration for a greater experience!"

"The inspection, and estimate was done in a very professional manner, which is why we selected them. The replacement had to be done on a Sunday. A large crew showed up and the work proceeded at an impressive pace. 
Post replacement, the lawn was clean. The new roof seems to be working well. 
I was very pleased with their service. "

"They were on time for the estimate and on time for the work that was performed. They removed my old shingles, tar paper, and vents and replaced them with new underlayment and GAF Timberline Shingles with new vents. The workers were efficient, knew what they were doing, worked extremely hard and long and did a great job. The project manager was on site much of the time and ready to answer any questions or respond to concerns. The new roof replaces one installed 19 years ago and the quality of the new roof greatly exceeds that of the previous roof. They cleaned up after they finished and did not destroy any flowers, shrubs, or plants. I would not hesitate to use them again."

"We called Wildlife Evictors based on a friend's recommendation and were not disappointed. There were multiple raccoons driving us crazy making noise in the soffit area on the back of our house. Shinyan came over, found the entry point and installed an exit door, but some of the raccoons wouldn't leave after mangling the exit door. I suggested he install the exit door where the vent is located, so Shinyan installed the exit door there, and they left shortly thereafter. After we were assured they were definitely gone, Shinyan came back and reinstalled the vent. He repairs the house entry points with metal and paints over the metal to blend in with the house. He is punctual and followed up so I didn't have to call him to come back. We were impressed."

FAQs for natural slate roofing installation and replacement projects in Avondale Estates, GA

A slate roof features thin tiles of natural stone installed over a solid deck and underlayment. Formed under intense heat and pressure, slate is exceptionally durable and delivers a distinctive, high-end look. Because the material weighs far more than asphalt, most homes need added structural support before installation. 

While upfront costs are higher and routine inspections are a must, many homeowners choose slate for its unmatched longevity and curb appeal.

Slate stands out for its 50- to 200-year life span, low maintenance, and classic aesthetic. It’s fire-resistant, energy-efficient, and often boosts resale value. 

On the flip side, slate runs far more per square foot than asphalt, weighs up to four times as much, and demands a contractor who specializes in the material. Tiles can crack on impact, and repairs cost more because the work is slow and precise. If your budget and structure can handle it, slate delivers top-tier performance for generations.

Natural and synthetic slate aim for a premium, stone-like appearance, whereas asphalt focuses on affordability. Real slate runs $10 to $30 per square foot installed and lasts up to 200 years; synthetic slate costs $10 to $15 and tops out at 50 to 100 years. 

Standard asphalt averages $3 to $8 per square foot and needs replacement every 20 to 30 years. If you want the slate look without the full price tag—or extra roof weight—synthetic is a solid middle ground.

With routine inspections and prompt repairs, a natural slate roof can last well beyond 100 years; some hard-slate installations reach the 200-year mark. Soft slate falls in the 50- to 125-year range, and synthetic products last 50 to 100 years. 

Remember, flashing, fasteners, and the underlying structure may need attention sooner than the stone itself. Severe hail or fallen limbs can also shorten life span, so schedule periodic checkups with a slate-qualified roofer.

If you plan to stay in your home long term—or want a standout selling point—slate delivers strong value. Although installation costs are high, owners often recoup 60% to 70% at resale and enjoy lower replacement cycles than asphalt. The stone’s durability, energy efficiency, and timeless curb appeal also appeal to eco-conscious buyers because fewer roofs end up in landfills. Just be sure your framing can handle the weight and that you budget for occasional specialty repairs.

Skip the DIY climb if you have a slate roof. Slate may be tough against the weather, but a single misplaced step can crack a tile and create a leak path. The surface also turns slick when wet, upping the risk of injury. Professional crews use staging and hook ladders that spread weight across multiple slates, protecting both the roof and the worker. To inspect or repair slate, call a roofer who specializes in the material.
