"Robbie and his team did a great job replacing our roof, and new replacement windows installed. They were always on time each day, courteous and informative. At the end of each day everything was cleaned up and hauled away. We recommend this company and will definitely contact them for any future needs."

"Glenn and the Shenandoah Home Improvements team that replaced our roof were wonderful! The price was way below the competitors in the area for the same product! Glenn was professional, courteous, and called/follow-up as per our discussion. The roof was completed ahead of schedule and looks wonderful. The warranty is great and I feel confident if there was an issue with the roof, Glenn would make it right. We will definitely be calling them again for additional work we may need! I highly recommend them!"

"I found A/C Home Improvements through Angie's list and my wife and I are glad we did! Tony and Terry was very professional and what impresses me the most is they stick by their word. Their work shows experience and will stand up with any contractors. They installed the floor, backsplash, a new microwave and under cabinet lighting as well as a ceiling light. We also re-faced our oak cabinets and it was sub-contracted out by Poff's Cabinetry in Martinsville VA and I highly recommend them as well!! We saved over half refacing the cabinets and they look brand new. Amazing work by both and will use them in the future for any kind of job we have!!"

"Ray with Titan Handyman, LLC Ray was very responsive to my call for a roof leak. He came the same day I called to give me an estimate and time frame. He kept his appointment and the repair was done on the same day. He is very knowledgeable and did a great job. He cleaned up after himself and did a great turn key job. Before he left I had him look at a second job for me. I highly recommend Ray with Titan Handyman, LLC"

"Mark is great! I needed help mounting a gate to very old woodwork. Mark arrived early with everything he needed and got the job done quickly. As it turned out, the gate was defective, but Mark still offered several solutions to repair it if I didn’t want to return it. He even offered to come back if I needed any help once I got the correct pieces. His prices are reasonable and he is friendly and trustworthy. I’ll be calling him again the next time I need help around the house!"

FAQs for natural slate roofing installation and replacement projects in Roanoke, VA

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.
