"We met with 3 different companies to advise on getting solar panels. The first 2 companies basically just told us what size system we could get based on state and federal tax rebate levels. Heard an advertisement for Sunpro on radio and decided to call them; turned out to be a good decision. Kara with Sunpro was extremely informative and had a nice package put together for us to review. She even researched our home and had an idea of how much production we could expect with the recommended solar panels. Even after selecting Sunpro, I called Kara with questions about things I'd heard from others or something I forgot to ask. I never felt like I was a burden and she always returned my calls if I had to leave a message. The complete team with Sunoro were professional and eager to help. Satisfied with new solar system and looking forward to enjoying savings on electric bills.

"Great!  He originally installed the roof several years ago and fixed a small leak.  I believe it was out of warranty, but he still stood behind his work.  I really appreciated it, and in the future when I need roof work, I will call him.  He has done two other neighbors roof replacements that I am aware of, and both are happy.

"This was a rather long project of 29 days that was only going to take 3 days. They found additional sheathing issues that greatly added to the length of the project, which still was completed within the re-drafted work order timeframe. The demo work to remove 2 roofing layers took about a week and then it was determined that the original sheathing was sub-standard and needed to be replaced or recovered where supports would allow it. That took another week plus to strip off the old sheathing and re-lay new OBD radiant barrier sheathing down. It was messy, but the crew did a good job of containing most of the debris. Fortunately, I covered the contents of the garage before the demo work began. I would recommend that the demo workers place a barrier between their dump truck and the house on all subsequent jobs to keep the debris from damaging things like the garage door, walls, etc. In their haste to complete the job, they may have bypassed that option when doing our home. This was probably the only flaw in the process. The workmanship on the new OC Cool Roof is spectacular and there is a noticeable difference with temperature heat reduction after the job has been completed. They also installed 2 new dual-pane frosted glass skylights that look superb and diffuse the light and heat very well. Alejandro and his associate did excellent work in completing those skylights as well as fixing/finishing the interior drywall, replacing and painting several different fascia boards and other small but necessary details. The whole job looks stunning. Thanks for the great work."

FAQs for natural slate roofing installation and replacement projects in Port Sulphur, LA

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.
