"The process was very Professional. Greg came out and evaluated my old shingles roof and gave me a price to install a new metal roof. He was very informative concerning my change over from a shingles roof to a metal roof. Greg explained the step by step installation process and the warranty that was included. After an agreement was confirmed, I was always notified with everything from the material drop off date and time to the actual installation date and any delays.. Will definitely use Southern Signature Solutions in the future for other Home Projects!! Wonderful Customer Service! Thank You Mr. Greg Carter And Crew!! MY NEW ROOF LOOKS GREAT!!"

"The contract session was with Stephan Boyer. He was very through and informative. We knew exactly what we were getting and what to expect. Chris Renda and his crew showed up as promised. They showed up with all materials and immediately started work. The crew took no breaks and barely took time for lunch.. Chris Renda kept us infomed of everything going on.He found that our dormers had not been wrapped or waterproofed so he removed all the siding and began wrapping and waterproofing the dormers for us! The crew took 5 days of hard nonstop work installing our beautiful new patina green metal roof. We are completely satisfied! !

"The representative viewed the spot on the ceiling to determine the approximate location of the leak on the exterior roof. Using his ladder, he walked the roof area briefly, came down and explained that the roof was showing significant signs of wear indicating the roof was probably beyond it life-cycle (20 years). Having owned the house for the past 20 years, I knew the roof was now approximately 22 years old. He indicated water appeared to be getting under the shingles in the valley on the roof. He pointed to signs of and quot;cuppingand quot; of the shingles as signs of end-of-life of the shingles.
I was quoted a price for repair of the roof. They would remove a section of the shingles and install new shingles where it was believed to be leaking. He also gave me a guesstimate on replacement of the roof on the main house (less the connecting carport that had been added within the last 10 years) with architectural shingles that have a 30 year warranty. I received a written estimate for the repairs. He pointed out that due to the age of the roof, if I chose to repair the leak area only, I could be faced with another leak and replacement.
I was underwhelmed with the professionalism of the quote. He did not measure anything and pointing to areas on the roof did not reassure me of the condition of the roof. His experience likely contributed to his confidence in his quote but it did not convince me.
I got a second estimate from another company who honestly stated they could repair just the apparent leak in the roof valley but they could not warranty such repairs. The competitor took pictures of the roof and was able to show me actually broken shingles and damage. The competitor's price quote was for the same 30 years shingles to replace the entire roof including the carport and was over $1,000 less. I got more for less.
Sorry, Advantage did not make the sale for roofing.

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