"I recently had LVP plank flooring installed in my small kitchen, and Norm did an outstanding job from start to finish. He arrived early, was very professional and respectful, and clearly communicated every step of the process as he worked. Even with some partial existing flooring that needed to be removed, Norm handled everything quickly and confidently - it was obvious he knew exactly what he was doing. He stayed focused on the task and completed the installation efficiently, all while paying the utmost attention to detail. The entire project only took a couple of hours, and he left the space completely clean when finished. I am extremely satisfied with the final result; the new flooring looks wonderful! I highly recommend Norm to anyone in need of flooring installation. He was professional, efficient and his quality of work stands out."

"Contracted with them to do a new build residential build in March 2021 and as of January 2023 we fired Mr. Aaron Lehnert and A&M for violation of the contract. They failed to complete the build, failed to pay subcontractors and material suppliers even though the bank paid A&M as build progressed. There were issue with poor quality roof, installation of french doors was 10 inches too far from center of deck, improper framing of stairs, improper framing of downstairs master shower, improper installation of free standing tubs even though plumber pointed out concerns to Mr. Lehnert, improper installation of front porch gables, sloppy drywall, failure to build according to agreed upon blueprints, poor placement of dryer vent & washer supply lines, poor installation of HVAC returns, thermostats, &registers, and extremely poor waterproofing of house. Additionally, failed to order the correct number of light fixtures. This builder refused to correct most of the issues and was caught taking money for supplies not purchased and work not done. Mr. Lehnert was caught in multiple lies and was very unprofessional in his conduct. This businessman filed bankruptcy because of his failure to properly supervise the builds that were ongoing and poor fiscal skills. Do not hire this individual. Be aware, he also is operating another contracting business under the name of A&M Craftsman Homes (Maryville, Tenn)."

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