"The project went great, AIC met with my insurance claims adjustor, they were able to do a full roof replacement and provided me an excellent warranty. Would highly recommend them to anyone needing a roof replacement or repairs done to their home."
The homeowner was able to see this ripple of shingles from the ground! This was caused by high winds and was part of the reason the homeowner gave us a call.
During our inspection, we were able to see exactly where the shingles had blown off and other areas of damage on the roof. This homeowner needed a full roof replacement.
At AIC, we care about the small details. Before we started to remove the old roof from this house, we covered the HVAC units to prevent any debris from causing damage!
We will always tear off the old roof before installing the new roof. This keeps warranties intact and gives the customer a better product with a new roof!
All of our roof installations get a layer of underlayment before the shingles go on. This protects the roof's deck from moisture!

"They responded very promptly to my request and did a thorough assessment of the job. It turned out I needed more work than I thought initially. Their estimate was complete, the reasoning behind it was explained well, and the price was quite reasonable. They completed the work in the timeframe requested, and the crew was large enough to do the job well without having to rush. The final result was beautiful! I wish the companies who have done roofs for me in the past had done half as good a job. Clean-up was superb! I was especially impressed by how well Wes Beams communicated and kept me in the loop. It is such a relief to have found a good roofing contractor!"

FAQs for natural slate roofing installation and replacement projects in Simpsonville, KY

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.
