Why replace your roof when you can recondition it to last 5 to 15 years longer?! Asphalt shingle rejuvenation turns the clock back on your roof restoring the flexibility, granular adhesion, and color as if it were almost like new again. The technology behind Shingle Rejuvenation has been used on asphalt roads for years and is now available to extend the life of your roof! As an added bonus for Alaskans, the product can be applied with zinc sulfate to kill existing moss and prevent future moss growth. While replacing the average Anchorage roof could cost from $12,000-$16,000, roof rejuvenation costs between $1,750-$2,250. Save your money and give us a call, your roof needs it!

"I would highly recommend Earhart. Our roofing job was a big one – replacing an old cedar shake roof with architectural series asphalt shingle. Mike from Earhart came out to do an estimate within a day of my call. He helpfully left sample boards so we could spend some time deciding on the shingle we’d like. The estimate was emailed to us within a couple of days and, when I compared Earhart’s estimate against the other three I’d gotten, I found they were the best priced (in fact, for the exact same shingle, underlayment and process, Earhart came in $8,000 less than a very well-known local company). The job was started on time and finished within the time frame they gave me. The new roof looks fantastic and the guys on site did a pretty good job cleaning up - do be prepared that a job that big doesn't happen without a few bumps and roofing often creates some collateral issues with landscaping (debris in shrubs, broken limbs here and there, etc.) and sometimes gutters. But here is another reason I’d hire Earhart again: service after the sale (meaning after I’d written the check!). There was an issue with our lock down chimney damper while the roofers were installing chimney cap – Earhart worked with my chimney repair person and took care of that bill. Weeks later when I noticed water overflowing from a couple of gutters, Earhart had their guys here within 2 hours of my phone call to fix the issue (tightening the attachment of one and cleaning debris out of another). That’s great service in my book."

FAQs for natural slate roofing installation and replacement projects in Cordova, AK

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.
