"David Rackley is a professional. He promptly scheduled a time for an estimate, did a thorough preparation of the estimate, and then sat down with us to review in detail his proposal. The work was performed when he told us it would be and completed very efficiently and effectively. He communicated regularly and advised when unforeseen complications arose (there weren't many but I expected on a 30 year old roof on a 70 year old house there would be some). His pricing was transparent and fair. I would absolutely recommend Rackley Roofing and Supply for roof and gutter work in the Atlanta area."

"Stephen M I wanted to have some extensive work done on my Roof and I contacted Roof It Forward. The Representative who came to discuss the project was Mr. Jeremy Clendenin. He was professional, cordial, and very informative in our discussion, so I decided to have a Roof Replacement and have his company do the job with him as my representative. He then submitted his proposal which was quite comprehensive and covered all the areas & items that were necessary for the project. Jeremy liaised with my insurance and me and we agreed and accepted his proposal. Jeremy and I then agreed on a date for the project. Early on that morning the workmen came and started working on the roof, and by the evening the old shingles on the roof were removed and the new shingles installed. The workmen returned early the next morning and completed the job and removed all the debris that fell around the house and left the area clean. After the workmen were done, Jeremy came by and checked roof and the area around the house, and then contacted me to do the same. The job was done to my satisfaction, and I was quite happy with its completion. During my interactions with Jeremy, we developed a great relationship, I was able to call him anytime to discuss anything and he was always available. Jeremy is a great guy and a worthy Representative of his company ARAC Roof It Forward."

The owner personally walked us through all the available options and helped us choose a roof that was both durable and cost-effective. The team was highly professional throughout the entire process, and the final result is absolutely beautiful."

"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!!"

"Jeff and his team were professionals from the first talk we had all the way to the guys who installed the work. I was expecting to clean up after they were done, but these guys went above and beyond. The whole process was easy. Jeff took the reins with my insurance company because we know how it can be intimidating working with insurance. Especially a $25,000 roof. Thanks Legacy for a great experience!"

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