"I was very pleased with how fast they got the job done. Their professionalism. They did a great job. This was my son's house. They also came to my house. Again great job. They went beyond what I expected. Couldn't figure out the fan in bathroom, so decided it was a bad fan. I gave them the receipt, they went and got a new one and it worked. They didn't charge me anymore then what they quoted. I would recommend them for sure. "

"Exterior paint for 1,500 sq ft single story house. Contractor provided an estimate site unseen. The estimate was very high, which was OK if a follow up site visit would result in a more accurate estimate based on measurements. I provided pictures of the house as requested. Got a revised, slightly lower estimate, still very high. Finally got them to set up an appointment but once they found out I had another painter also coming to provide an estimate they said they weren't coming out to measure but would do the job at the significantly higher price already provided."

"Drew Renovations was our #1 pick from price to character, a decision that we never once regretted! It was overwhelming to purchase our first roof during a pandemic while our lives were turned upside down financially, to begin with. It was essential to get a quality roof, a competitive price, and work with a trustworthy and locally owned small business. After multiple estimates, both before and after meeting Drew (the company owner), we knew from our first impression he was the guy to go with! Drew and his team not only did everything that the other companies did with their highest quotes but did it while offering suggestions for saving cost where possible and made our roof look more admirable than any other on the block! Drew put the heart with the hammer into his work and within his daily customer service. Our chimney facing was leaking; we had large holes due to rot on both sides, we needed over 20 boards replaced, we had multiple corners of facia board and soffit rotten and needing replacing. We had numerous layers of old shingles that needed removing, some code issues resolved, and a total gutter replacement. We saved in comparison to other quotes. THANK YOU DREW RENOVATIONS!! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!"

"Wise Home Direct did a major interior makeover on my house last fall and not only did they do a fantastic job but I really enjoyed working with them and appreciate their professionalism. Today I had an urgent need for some follow-up repair work and I'm completely impressed with their willingness and ability to rally for me late in the day on a Friday afternoon to mobilize and handle my issues same day. It's been about 9 months since they finished their project and I am completely impressed with this kind of after-project support and look forward to the next project I will do with them."

FAQs for natural slate roofing installation and replacement projects in Marion, NC

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.
