"J. A. Kay Roofing was excellent to work with. Honest, fast and they did an incredible job. Once the roof was complete they cleaned up everything and you would have never even known they were there except we had a new roof! Highly recommend!"

The finished product as seen at the completion of the job. This roof will come with a 30 year material warranty from the manufacturer.
The ridge is especially thick, not only providing impact resistance but also a very fancy looking roof.
These new shingles will last for many years to come.

"Wow! Encore Roofs practically performed a miracle when they installed a metal roof and replaced rotten eaves and soffits on our garage-turned-studio/workshop. The results were better than we could ever have imagined and we are more than happy to recommend Encore Roofs to anyone and everyone. Their work, professionalism, courtesy, fair pricing, and so much more are the reasons why we would definitely use them again."

"Billy Taylor came one day and checked my gutters. Then he pressure washed the gutters, the siding of the eaves around my house and the siding around my complete shop. Billy came another day and pressure washed my garage floor, my sidewalk and my driveway which is a large driveway all across the back of my house. All the work he did for me was first class. I was very pleased with Billy and his work!"

"He did an excellent job making the playset more durable than it ever was before!! He used better wood and made sure it was painted with a super weather resistant paint. He came as soon as I requested the job. I needed it done before my grandchildren came again. It was really rotted-much worse than I thought."

"A & B Texas Ammo Roofing did an excellent job installing my new roof! Brian McMurry is a delight to work with. He took time to explain the different shingle ratings and the process of installation. He is very knowledgeable about roofs and Texas weather. He listened to my requests and patiently answered my questions. His crew was polite, hardworking, and thorough with clean up when the job was finished. My roof looks great! Brian also suggested that I contact my insurance company about a possible discount on my homeowner’s policy for adding the new roof. I am now saving $500/year on my homeowner’s policy! I highly recommend A & B Texas Ammo Roofing!"

FAQs for natural slate roofing installation and replacement projects in Kilgore, TX

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.
