"We had just bought a house that needed some serious and diverse repairs. We interviewed a series of contractors who offered partial repairs on only single elements of the whole project. After much frustration we were fortunate to find Owens Construction. They were able to address every project goal and provide a comprehensive solution for every item of concern. Dustin devised an innovative fix for each issue ranging from roofing leaks, eroding porch supports, a screen room renovation, and a state of the art drain pit system to address a severe flooding issue. The work was done well and in the very timely manner. Save yourself some time and heartache. Call Owens Construction first. Dustin and his team will solve your problems. Scott and Charity, Cleveland."

"Brian and the entire team at OneCall could not have been better to work with when we were in need of a new roof. They were very pleasant and patient as we got the necessary paperwork filled out. They also did a fantastic job on our new roof. Whenever I had any questions, Brian was quick to answer and even met me at my office a few times to help speed things up. Great customer relations and I highly recommend them."

"Greg and his crew did an excellent job on our roof replacement! The quality of his work and communications on the job prior to, during, and after the job gave us a very high level of comfort and confidence. He was able to get the replacement of a very large roof done in two days. He was personally at our place throughout the job to answer questions. We had some related siding issues that he also completed to limit future leaks. I would highly recommend Greg to anyone looking to have a roof repair or replacement."

"It went extremely well. Dylan was always very prompt, professional, and courteous. The pictures and explanations he provided regarding the state of my roof before the work was performed added to our confidence and understanding of why and what needed to be done to repair the damage from a previous hailstorm. The price and quality of services were excellent. We would not hesitate to hire Grizzly Roofing again."

FAQs for natural slate roofing installation and replacement projects in Huntsville, AL

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.
