"These guys were great! From Kevin who did the initial roof inspection and quote to Jose and the crew they did everything discussed and then some. I’ve some experience with roofing and considered their quote reasonable, fair and very competitive. My roof was about 33 squares worth and with about 3/4 of the old roof having two layers of shingles to remove they were able to complete it in one day. They used tarps around the entire house to cover flower beds and catch debris. I look forward to working with these guys in the future and will be recommending them to friends. "

"d edges everywhere knowing we had 2 small learning to walk toddlers and promised it would be fixed that week….we blocked it with furniture and finally after over a month of waiting we hired another company to come fix it and still didn’t hear a word from Wright Siding for months. Then early one Saturday morning without warning they show up banging on our door demanding to fix that window and install that moment. The owner started yelling at us for having the window fixed without talking to him and called us disrespectful for doing so. Stacey was so nice when he sold us our window but every encounter from that moment on was terrible. He was so rude and never once apologized for any of our delays over the year long process even with how understanding we were. He even tried to blame us and call us names because we cared about the safety of our children over respecting his wishes on what needed to happen with our living room window. I wouldn’t trust this company with any project ever, I honestly don’t understand how they are still functioning with how poorly run they are."

FAQs for natural slate roofing installation and replacement projects in North Little Rock, AR

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.
