"Did a great job putting a new roof on our home. We had a small leak and felt very confident with Rain Tight from the first interaction with Jason. His knowledge and assessment of the leak along with realistic options made our decision easy. Another roofer said he would repair a section at a fraction of the cost to re-roof but neglected to take into account some of the other issues with the 17 year old roof, all of which Jason pointed out and documented with pictures. The re-roof job was done well and looks great. Highly recommend Rain Tight."

"They gave me a bid and they took the work. They were really good. They were there before they said they'd actually be there. So they were ahead of time. They knocked out the project in a few days, sooner than they said. They knocked the roof out in less than two days. So I was definitely pleased. What makes them so good is their professionalism. They've been around for a long time. Everything was on point."

"Richard, the owner from Delta Roofing called us within an hour after our request. He came to our home, analyzed the problem and took pictures. He emailed us the photos for us to look at as we were in New Jersey on vacation. Our neighbor who met Richard at our home was very impressed with Richard's skill in analyzing where the leak was coming from. My neighbor is very fussy and also very knowledgeable so that says a lot about Richard's expertise. I spoke to Richard on various occasions on the phone and he was very patient, kind, and courteous. Delta Roofing will be our go-to company in the future as well as a company we will highly recommend to our neighbors. Thank you Richard, Delta roofing, for your A+ service."

"Wonderful. Mr Carlton returned my call promptly and scheduled to come out and look at the problem. We were fortunate enough to be able to have the new ridge vent installed the same day. I would definitely hire this company for any roofing needs and highly recommend them for anyone needing repairs or a new roof to their house."

"Overall it went well. Mr. Davis returned my initial call within 1 day. He came out the next day to perform the estimate. He was almost 1 hour late for the estimate appointment due to difficulties with directions/ GPS. However he did call several times for directions and to keep me updated. Once on site he inspected the leak area and the exterior chimney enclosure and roof and identified the problem as deteriorated sealing at the top of the chimney. He provided a reasonable estimate and arranged to do the work the following day. The next day he arrived on time and completed the work for the agreed price. I'm happy with the service I received and hopefully won't see any further leaks.

FAQs for natural slate roofing installation and replacement projects in Hilton Head Island, 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.
