"The overall experience would have to be termed somewhat disappointing because while the overall quality of workmanship was good, there were a few parts were it was very shoddy such as the flashing around the chimney and drip edges. In fact, a shingle or two was puffy. This was immediately pointed out to Emmanuel when he came near the end of the installation (November 2021), but the crew could not fix it. Emmanuel stated that something underneath the shingle was causing it to lay uneven, but that was not the case with the original roof which was pretty much flat there and throughout. It makes little sense to offer a lifetime labor warranty if problems are not going to be fixed. This was quite disappointing because Emmanuel was overall very easy to work with, flexible to our needs, gave very detailed estimates, and even offered us a discount for removing two layers of the previous shingles. The point is if you pay around $5000, then it is fair to expect quality workmanship. Still, we reached out early July 2022 for a new estimate for sidings (and windows), but we did not get a response."

"I had a leak in my laundry room, and had SlopePro come by to look at it. I was worried that they would try to pressure me into some huge purchase like other roofing companies, but that wasn’t the case. When they arrived, the found where the leak was, explained everything to me, and simply replaced a pipe boot. There was no high pressure sales tactics, they literally just fixed the leak. Not too long after, a huge storm blew off a few of my shingles. They came out again and WOW. Their knowledge of the industry is unparalleled. They handled everything for me, were always available for questions, provided top notch work, and I have a brand new roof that I can trust was done RIGHT (covered by insurance). These guys and gals are truly the most honest, transparent and professional people you could ever ask for when making roofing decisions. Not only that, but they are actual roofing experts, unlike other companies who are just salespeople with ladders. I can’t say enough, HIRE SLOPEPRO!! 10/10"

"Home genius didn't an amazing job. The project managers Andrew and Au were extremely professional and punctual. The crew was amazing and did such an amazing job installing the product and cleaned up after themselves every day. What I loved about Andrew and AJ is that they came to the door to address my concerns before I would ever bring them up! The Timbersteel shingles in Rustic Red looked absolutely gorgeous on the house. The last people that did my roof really left me high and dry and I unfortunately had to replace my roof after only 10 years. If it was not for Josh the home remodeling expert that inspected my roof, I would have been spending a lot not to get my roof fixed by the time the leaks made it to my drywall. I would happily recommend anyone in the Elizabeth City are to use Home genius for all your metal roofing needs. Be sure to ask for Andrew or AJ as your project manager!"

"Davidson Roofing replaced a roof for us after a hail storm. Professional, courteous, and quality work throughout the entire project. We had a leak around our dormers after a couple of months, which they came out and repaired within 24 hours of my call to them. From the original quote to the roofing, to the follow-up service ... I was very pleased."

"Their consultant was on time and very knowledgeable. I ultimately decided to move forward with a new Roof and replacement windows. My Roof was done roughly 2 weeks later and my windows were just completed. I am very pleased and look forward to the energy savings this winter. The architectural shingles really look good and have gotten me a lot of compliments from my neighbors."

FAQs for natural slate roofing installation and replacement projects in Fort Lee, VA

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.
