"We recently had our house re-roofed by Scott Roofing. Everything about the experience was first rate. General Manager Justin Jove came out to do the estimate. There was a structural addition that presented a challenge and Justin came up with a solution that worked well for us. The estimate came in within the range that I expected. No surprises. The quality and appearance of the new roof is superb. Everyone involved in this project, from Justin to the roofing crew to the office staff were a pleasure to work with. They were all professional, courteous and friendly. To you all may I say, “Well done!” I would highly recommend Scott Roofing to anyone in need of a new roof or repairs. They are a well established homegrown business with a dedication to quality and customer service."

"I couldnt have chosen better roofers! They went above and beyond in all regards - I got MORE than what I paid for. My roof was a mess, from the rafters up, and they just did what needed to be done to correct problems and make it "bombproof." Carlos is amazing. He really cares about and takes pride in is work. But what I appreciate most is his honesty and integrity. You can really trust that he is doing what he says! I am picky, and I pay attention to EVERYTHING and I am truly satisfied with the workmanship and my new roof! LOOK NO FURTHER - GO WITH GREAT BASIN ROOFING!"

"Very responsive and honest. I called to see if I needed a new roof. They came and inspected the roof and told me I did not need a new one. I only needed to have some shingles sealed."

FAQs for natural slate roofing installation and replacement projects in Reno, NV

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.
