"We had roof damage and our deck was destroyed during the hurricane. TG came in and fixed the roof plus tore out the old deck and replaced it...plus an addition to the deck and build a new roof for the deck. Wonderful work, very nice to work with and did not try to charge and outrageous amount. Would recommend to anyone. Thanks for a great experience!"

"Holly expedited my quote and the new roof was quickly completed. Especially notable was the additional work needed underneath the old roof, and the speed at which the crew did the extra labor and obtained more materials. I was grateful AvilaNelson roofing was able to fit in my job fast because I had leaks which were getting worse. They were very easy to work with, the crew was professional, and all debris removed when they were done."

"In every way, wish I had known of this crew for the past 10 years as we remodeled our mountain retreat. Most considerate folk who helped in every way. Came back and hung the exterior window shutters after I had ordered the wrong size, and did not charge. Hired only for exterior painting of entire house, but while there asked them to check my roof shingles as we notices moss buidup in rain gutters. They went right to work prior to painting, resolved mold on many areas of roof and gutters at a super fair price in addition to paint agreement. Would hire again. Will ask them to come for trees, trimming and other landscaping."

"On 3/10/2026 I got my roof and gutters replaced by Home Genius Exteriors. The service I got from them was fantastic. From the initial consult with Chandler M. and follow up with Derrick C. made the experience feel great. Ultimately it came down to Stephen O. and his two crews, one for roofing the other for the gutter install, made everything run very smoothly. When questions were raised by the crew Stephen quickly gave me a call. Stephen always kept me informed when he will be at my house and the status of the work being done. I rarely have seen the professionalism by other contractors and crew that I saw with Stephen and his crews. When I get more work done, I hope that Stephen is one in charge of the crews."

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