"Zach was very polite and professional. The team explained the cost to replace my roof very clearly. My estimate from the team was better than all other estimates and the cost was thousands of dollars less. Based on other estimates, the company was honest and trustworthy. I would highly recommend them."

"After getting several roofing estimates, we chose Live Oak Roofing because of their competitive pricing and availability. Our initial consult was with a project manager who inspected our roof and explained the options for repair and replacement and worked directly with us to help maximize our insurance benefits. The crews did exceptional work and cleanup. The project manager was always available communicating the progress and making sure that everything met or exceeded our expectations. We are extremely pleased and satisfied and would highly recommend them for any roofing project."

"LRG showed up on time for both the evaluation and to complete the job and had great communication via text. The roof repair was done thorough and matched the surrounding roof in addition to calking some adjacent areas that needed some attention. I would recommend Legacy Restoration Group for all your roofing repair and replacement needs."

"I’m extremely pleased with job that Matt and his crew did. They painted the whole interior of the house and finished it on time as promised. The crew was very careful with our new floors and furniture. They showed up every day on time and we’re very professional."

"The inspection, and estimate was done in a very professional manner, which is why we selected them. The replacement had to be done on a Sunday. A large crew showed up and the work proceeded at an impressive pace. 
Post replacement, the lawn was clean. The new roof seems to be working well. 
I was very pleased with their service. "

"SkyView Home Remodeling just did another great job for us.  Joseph did a couple projects for us in the past (window installation and asphalt roof) and we just used him again for a small flat roof on a commercial property that we own.  The roof is doing it?s job and as always, Joseph was great to work with.

"They were on time for the estimate and on time for the work that was performed. They removed my old shingles, tar paper, and vents and replaced them with new underlayment and GAF Timberline Shingles with new vents. The workers were efficient, knew what they were doing, worked extremely hard and long and did a great job. The project manager was on site much of the time and ready to answer any questions or respond to concerns. The new roof replaces one installed 19 years ago and the quality of the new roof greatly exceeds that of the previous roof. They cleaned up after they finished and did not destroy any flowers, shrubs, or plants. I would not hesitate to use them again."

FAQs for natural slate roofing installation and replacement projects in Nelson, GA

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.
