"The materials seemed better and while it cost more I was very happy that our entire roof was removed and replaced. However, Power talks a big game with customer service, communication and clean up. The app they tout has very little information beyond prep, working and finished. While cleanup was impressive in the yard the driveway did not have the attention to detail I expected, especially when it came to tires. After the crew left I picked up 22 nails, 20 in my driveway. While that number is small all things considered, I was shocked for what was found in my driveway. The company did reimburse me via a Visa Giftcard for the flat tire I got the day the roof was replaced. No one told us that the team was finished for the day and would have to come back the next until 3 hours later. We went out side and everyone was gone but a trailer in our yard. A few hours later someone from the crew came and knocked on our door saying they would be back tomorrow and took the trailer. This was never noted in the app that our sales rep went on and on about. Our sales rep ensured us that a project manager would be on site with us at the completion of the project. That was not the case. Someone did come out a few days later. Management apologized to us and said we were going to be used as an example that sales should not be talking such a big game and over promising to clients. I cannot stress this enough. If I knew no one would before there the day the work was finished it would have been a deal breaker and we told the sales rep so. When I called the office to ask why someone wasn't coming out the project manager who answer argued with me about someone being on site for the finish of the project. And while his manager apologized that I felt was extremely unprofessional. We did have someone come out to inspect the work the day after the roof was finished. I never got an answer if this was standard to always have someone out or if I just got upset enough. I was told that the company does too many projects to have someone come out at the end of every project. Our gutter guards had to be taken off (we were told by the sales rep they did not need to be). When they were put back on nails now hang down from the gutter. Am I happy the work was done, yes. The planking on our roof was causing our family health issues and needed to be disposed of instead of new wood over top. We are seeing a difference in our health and you cannot put a price tag on that. However, I was greatly disappointed with the promise of stellar service when in fact it was no better than other contractors we have worked for in the past. We will not be going with Power for other services on our home"

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