"Completely satisfied with Lowcountry Roofing. Replaced my roof in June, 2021. Communication with Chance, the owner, was excellent throughout. The roofing crew was efficient and worked well as a team. Arrived at 7 am and had completed the job by 4 pm. Cleanup was thorough and crew was gone by 5 pm. Roof looks great and has performed well."

"Empire Roofing and Remodeling did such a wonderful job! Tim, the owner is very attentive to what you are looking for and made himself available continuously for any questions or concerns that I had. His crew is very courteous and hard-working. All debris was cleaned up after the job and the house looks amazing. I have recommended Empire Roofing and Remodeling to several family members and friends. I will definitely use him for my next remodeling project or roof replacement when that time comes"

"Our roof replacement went great from the estimate to the completion. We called for an estimate, got it the same day. Scheduled the install date, and installers showed up on time and completed a rather tough roof replacement in one day! Workmanship and clean up was excellent. I would recommend Charleston Roofing and Exteriors in a heart beat. I've included pictures, but we live in the woods are are up off the ground, so it's really hard to get a great view."

"We recently had our roof replaced by Scott and team at StormGuard. To say that I am pleased with everything would be an understatement. Scott was as professional and punctual as any person or company I have ever dealt with. From the initial roof evaluation, to cleanup at the end, I could not have hoped for a better experience."

"Response was immediate, and met face to face with Jerry Anderson, the owner. I had a slow-leak along ridge vent. Jerry went on the roof, took photos, and explained what was going on. That was on Friday, 10-26. The very next day they were back, ready to work. The work was very satisfactorily completed on Saturday, 10-27. Their work came with a 3-year, no-leak guarantee. No money changed hands until the job was finished. Simply amazing response!! My wife and I were very pleased, and would highly recommend Jerry, his son Cody...and the rest of the Anderson Pros."

"I bought Angie's list' s Deal on Roofing Inspection and Maintenance. They came within the allotted three day period, although I would have appreciated a phone call before they came, as they mentioned they would call before coming.
They were very nice, professional, explained a lot, which I appreciated. The reason I cannot give them an A is that my roof leaked again not three days after they finished the maintenance. They did explain that I need a roof replacement most probably within the year; but when I asked them should I replace now they said that it can last a year more, or even two, but I should start preparing the money. Although it was a small leak,  I am not sure now as to whether the leak could have been avoided if the maintenance was 100% done right---maybe, maybe not.  But the problem is I don't know for sure, which is why I cannot give A.
Otherwise I appreciate the idea to have roof maintenance packages, I would encourage other companies to offer them.

FAQs for natural slate roofing installation and replacement projects in Charleston, SC

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.
