"RRG and their employees are a class act. They went above and beyond all expectations our family had of a roofing company. The delightful and informative Cimarron Mason almost made me glad I needed a new roof after speaking with her for a few minutes. Ms. Mason scheduled our free estimate for the very next day when we met the wonderful Caleb Stewart. Mr. Stewart spent nearly 2 hours in our home explaining that our current roof was not up to code and therefore additional work would need to be done prior to laying down shingles. Mr. Stewart took photos and videos of everything he found and explained the repair process in depth to us. When it came time to chose which roofing package we wanted, he did not pressure us, but instead continued to answer our hundreds of questions. All of the repairs and the new roof installation were completed in a single day by the hard working, professional, yet friendly crew lead by Mr. JD. My family cannot say enough brilliant things about RRG Roofing. In fact, they will be back next week to install gutters and downspouts for us."

"I had a few companies come out and they wanted to sell me a new roof. My roof is only two years old. They did not listen to my request for the work I needed.I would hire this man again , he’s honest. I had a boot loose. He fixed it and caulked it that’s all I needed."

"The roof was done in a timely manner, and it was well done. From the tearing off of the old roof, clean up, and the new roof, it was very well done. I would highly recommend this service as I was very pleased."

"I was extremely happy and satisfied with Placher Roofing with replacing my roof with a new metal roof. I had to delay the replacement a few months and they were able to work with me. They did a beautiful job on my new roof at a competitive price. I don't think you'll find a better roofer in this area. I highly recommend them to anyone needing roof work."

"New installation went well. I was a little upset that only 50% was covered being that the unit was 19 years old. I'm sure that parts for something that old would be hard to find. Replacement was recommended."

FAQs for natural slate roofing installation and replacement projects in Blairsville, 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.
