"The owner of this company, Jeremy (Jay), is very friendly and professional. First, he responded very quickly to our request for an estimate, and when we chose his company, they were able to begin within a week or so. He understood the issues that we had in replacing a deck that had prematurely begun deteriorating, and his crew was able to replace about 80% of it while salvaging the parts that were still in good shape. Jay was also happy to fine-tune the minor tweaks that needed to be made after the old deck was demolished and the new one installed. Our project turned out to have more issues than he could anticipate, but he stood by his original price quote. He is trustworthy and provides what he promises. His price was very reasonable, and we believe that we received our money's worth. He also works on roof and window replacements, and we would not hesitate to hire him if we had one of those projects."

"I found Bluebird Roofing and Construction by checking for recommendations on Angie's List and other review engines. I'm glad I did! After obtaining five estimates I choose them to complete my roof repair based on their responsiveness and communication, their availability and their excellent warranty. Every phone call was answered or promptly returned, and every question was met with patient responses that indicated a great deal of knowledge, experience and concern for the needs of the homeowner. Because of previous commitments and weather predictions, the job was originally scheduled for eight days out, but they were able to move it up five days and completed it before the weekend rains! I couldn't have asked for more from Danny, the general manager; Mike, the on-site supervisor; or Francisco and his roofing team! I highly recommend Bluebird Roofing and Construction and would definitely use them again!"

"Workers showed up when supposed to and were very professional. Tore off old roof, replaced compromised decking and facia, and replaced with new roofing. This is the second job I have used TCS for, the other being gutter replacement. The two jobs done by TCS are the best experiences I have ever had with having home repair work done. I don't think I am unreasonably hard to please, but I do expect companies to show up when they say, answer or return phone calls or text in a timely manner (which is great with TCS!), clean up after themselves and do a quality job and stand behind their work. I would absolutely use them again!"

"Everything that Local Roofing Company did on roofing and gutters deserves an Excellent rating! I am so fortunate to have learned about this company and to have had them take care of my roof repairs and replace my gutters. I was so impressed with everything in the process from the start with discussing the work needed to the end with their completion of the work. Everyone was very professional and hard working, from the owner, Sam, to all his employees. I have a great comfort level and complete trust in their workmanship and have great appreciation for the work they did. I will call on Local Roofing Company again and I highly recommend them should anyone have similar needs. I can’t say enough about how happy I am to have learned about this company and I can confidently very highly recommend their services."

"Steve was AMAZING from start to finish. The quality of materials used were top notch, and exactly what he said I would get! Ran into a few issues (unseen) with my roof along the way. Steve took pictures and showed me. Gave me options on how to fix it, then took care of it right away.The crew was very professional, you couldn't even tell they were there after they left. Highly recommend!"

"After calling several roofing companies for pricing and availability, I scheduled a roof maintenance service with Southern Strong because they offered the best price AND could accommodate my schedule. The very next day, Wade arrived promptly, inspected my roof, and then showed me photos as he explained the situation: the flashing around the exhaust fan (as well as other places) was not properly sealed, and there were several exposed nails and penetrations. After he caulked the exposed nails and re-secured the headwall flashing, he showed me photos of the completed work. He said that if that these repairs didn't solve the problem, he would recommend replacing the flashing and the affected shingles. It is now seven months later, and I haven't had a single problem with the roof since then. I highly recommend Southern Strong Roofing: they are pleasant professionals who provide affordable, effective, and thorough service. The next time I have a roofing problem, I will make one call--and that will be to Southern Strong."

"The roof and gutter replacement and aluminum window wrap were repairs to storm damage. The painting and garage door aluminum wrap were optional services that I decided to go ahead with because of the other related work being performed. The workmanship quality varied depending on what type of work was being done.
Roofing - This was by far the best part of the work performed in terms of quality and workmanship. There really is nothing like a Sparkman roof that I have seen (a lot of roofs were replaced last year due to hail damage). It looks great, the ridge vents improved the overall look of the roofline, and they paid attention to all the fine details such as matching the color of the vents etc. My one qualm is the scheduling. It seems like it took a long time to get the work scheduled, and then they kept moving the date. Then they literally gave me one days notice before they came to do the work.
Gutters - The gutter installation quality was good. Unfortunately they ordered the wrong color. They showed up one night to do the installation without warning, and we were away from the house while the work was being done. When we got home it was dark, so I didnt notice the color difference until the next day. Instead of removing and replacing with the correct color, they offered to paint the gutters and cut me a good deal on painting the soffit and fascia. All in all I was satisfied with this solution but again, not happy with the scheduling aspect (suddenly turning up to do the work without notice).
Aluminum wrap - This was the least satisfying part of the work. The subcontractor who did the work did not do a very good job in my opinion. They did not remove the old wrap from around the windows and opted to install the new wrap over the old wrap. The bending and forming of the wrap, and the sealing were ok but not great. They did a sloppy job of nailing the wrap. The original wrap was installed during a window installation and the nails were well hidden by the window installers. The Sparkman subcontractor made no attempt to hide the nails, so the overall finish doesnt look so great. Additionally, they installed wrap on the garage door with visible nails, and did a poor job of installing the weather strip molding over the wrap. I had to remove the weather strip molding and reinstall it myself to make it look decent. They also didnt seal it, so I had to do that as well.
All in all my results were mixed. I'd have them install a roof any day. However, I would probably not use them for any other type of work on my home in the future.

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