"After having a nagging gutter leak that the original vendor refused to fix, I turned to Ridge Roofing. They were very prompt in replying and scheduling a crew to examine the problem. After rehanging the gutters, I noticed after the next rain that the seam continued to leak. At that point, Dustin Lee, one of the project managers, made it his personal mission to keep working on that seam until it was fixed. I really appreciate the customer service and tenacity that Dustin showed, which required multiple visits to the house. I would definitely use Ridge Roofing again."

" I contacted Blue Creek Construction LLC thru Angi to repair an area of my roof that was damaged during the recent windstorm. Jazmin contacted me early the same day and within a few hours Jazmin, Pedro and crew were out to look at my roof. They were prompt (early actually), friendly, easy to speak with, knowledgeable, and professional. They offered to fix my roof on the same day at a reasonable cost but we rescheduled for 9 am the following day so they could pick up a needed part. I walked outside my home at 9 am and they were already in place ready to start the job! In about one hour they had finished all the work high-quality cleaned up and everything looked great! Blue Creek Construction did an awesome job and I would definitely recommend them and hire them again for future projects."

FAQs for natural slate roofing installation and replacement projects in Skyland, NC

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.
