"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.

"They did an awesome job.  They were professional and punctual.  They always explained all of the charges in detail and when ever I had concerns or questions, they were always professional and detailed in there explanations.  I really appreciated their flexibility and while I wasn't happy with the first chimney cap, the redid the 2nd and charged a very discounted rate for not getting right the first time.  This is a company who always treats the customers right and quality is very important to them.  I recommend everyone gives them a try.

"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 was prompt, arrived as he said he would. He completed the work and additionally pressure washed the front porch for a very reasonable price. Billy was professional, knowledgeable about the gutter guards I asked about installing. He didn't try to sell me what I didn't need. I plan to use Beautiful Homes and Windows painting services also."

"Jordan Bonneau came out and evaluated our roof and provided a clear estimate of the materials, quality and cost. Once we agreed to have the work done, the roofing materials were delivered on time and the roofing crew showed up on time as well. They did a quality job of removing the old roofing material, installing the new roof and cleaning up after they were done. I would recommend Fair Claims Roofing based on their professional work. We are very happy with our new roof."

"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."

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