"Expect the unexpected customer service. I requested a quote for a new roof and what I got instead was advice on keeping a still functioning roof while they patched a small problem. When the time comes for a new roof, I'm definitely calling Darren!"

"Love GreenGo Roofing! They did a fantastic job on my gross roof. Terrific experience from beginning to end. GreenGo provides options to fit your budget. Their product is awesome and Joey and crew are efficient and professional. Kristie works behind scene and sent updates via email. She is friendly and easily scheduled my roof work. Pretty sure she is the glue. ? Lance is great! He expects great results from his team and they deliver! Easy to work with and high standards. I like that. Joey and crew did awesome work. Go to their web green roofing.com- check out what they can do for your roof. I have peace of mind that my roof is in great shape now. I am keeping GreenGo in my contacts for future fascia repair/replacement. Highly recommend and will use their services again in the future."

"Mike is extremely knowledgeable. He is also the ONLY roofer who was able to fix a leak in my 100 year old house with dormers. I had several roofers come and do repairs but Mike was the only who figured out what the problem was. Since then he has done work at my business and he will eventually do the entire roof for my home. The best!"

"Bit of trouble with scheduling, but it is the monsoon season, so it was understandable. Over all everyone very responsive and polite at the company. Wish they had cleaned up my backyard better. There was a lot of debris left behind, but the front was cleaned up well. Seems to be holding up after a couple big storms hit just after roof was finished."

FAQs for natural slate roofing installation and replacement projects in Oro Valley, AZ

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.
