"A friend of ours suggested Radiant Roofing when it was time to change our roof out. My family and I couldn't be happier with the services we received in changing out our roof with Radiant Roofing. Neil and his team were on time, ready to go and super quick! We had our roof changed out in 1 day, we were amazed! Neil is also affordable and will help pick out the right color shingle for your roof. We went with his shingle suggestion and couldn't be happier that we did. They do excellent, quality work!"

"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!!!"

"A-1 Plus Remodeling recently repaired the drywall in our bathroom. It required sanding and a complete skim coat. Rommel was punctual and did an excellent job for a reasonable price. He provided a detailed estimate of the work to be done and did exactly as quoted. The quote for the same work from another company was much higher. The skim coat was perfectly smooth and the final result was beautiful. I am definitely keeping his name and number for future work."

"Attention to detail, the house not only looks good it works right. What does that mean, Elevated makes sure when it rains the water does not get in. They use the right nail guns for Hardie board siding plus the siding has no gaps, they caulk it as well. They use flashing in the right places. The work crews just awesome, they looked like my CNC router fast and precise. The job superintendent, Francisco came to the house often, making sure the workers were on track. He also did ever thing the wife and I ask him to, he listen to us. They replaced the siding and painted it, replaced our deck, handrail and gutters."

FAQs for natural slate roofing installation and replacement projects in Chattanooga, TN

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.
