The owner promptly returned my call. He knowledgeable explained options for roofing and drew up an aerial of my metal roof on my 1890 home. He knowledgeably understood what the architectural review board would allow and guided my choices, gave me advice on short term and long term costs. I went away and did research with other contractors and found his reputation solid and his info spot on. I hired him. He cave me a reasonable date explained the weather related issue. The crew was friendly helpful, neat and self initiating. They came in worked long and did an excellent job. Chance stopped by numerous times during the week to check in and explain things to me. This guy takes pride in his work. He gets right back to you. You don't pay until you are satisfied with the job. I got exactly what I wanted and it was hassle free. Thank you LowCountry !"

"Very thorough roof inspection. Nick is very friendly with an easy manner. He took a lot of pictures of my roof to show good, bad, and ugly. He also encouraged me to ask for help through my insurance company because there is visible hail damage."

"I knew there was a problem with the roof as I had seen squirrels tearing out the shingles. The gentleman that came out said there was some areas around my chimney that might need to be repaired. He stated he had to have surgery on his hand and would call back when he had recovered. Never heard back and eventually had some water damage due to the repairs not being done.

"Benny answered my calls and did what he said he would do in a timely and professional manner. My clients decided not to buy the house so we did not have any roofing work done.

"It was an excellent work. They did my roof in 1 day. As they stayed in my agreement and i highly recommend using c&c roofing to do yours. The professionalism on their associates it was very satisfying and i felt like i can trust my roofing work to them. And their workers were very respectful they cleaned my yard i was very impress how clean they were. Very organized all their equipment in one place and as soon the materials got there they place it like it came from factory and when they placed it on the roof it was very organized as well. I definitely use c&c roofing for another roof replace. Who knows what mother nature got for us this year. God bless and keep the good work guys."

"They were absolutely wonderful. It said it doesn't meet your standards but let me tell you they were awesome.They came great. They need to be back on there, I don't know if somebody wrote something bad or whatever but we've used them quite to move in awesome. Well they quoted us at $800, we had a really bad leak and everything. It was leaking through the bedroom. In the end he said to us he didn't have to do this and this and they could've screwed us over, it was all on the second floor and it was $400. The price was half of what he said it was gonna be. For responsiveness, they came Thursday. Friday it poured all day, it wasn't their fault and they came yesterday. They were here 6:30 in the morning, too punctual. Their professionalism was very nice."

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