"Mr. Alexander did a thorough inspection of my leaking 15 yr roof, and gave me a quote for repairs and for replacement. He certainly knows his business. He took pictures of the damage and explained all the problems in the pictures. I opted for replacement His crew was very courteous and prompt. They were finished in 2 days. His crew also did some carpentry work which was excellent I got 3 quotes for the job, and his price was the same or less than the other two."

"Steve with Lakeside Construction was professional and handled all aspects of getting us a new roof installed. From start to finish we were impressed with this company. They handled our new roof replacement including insurance submission with punctuality and professionalism. We can't be happier with all aspects of this company including the office/billing staff and project manager. We would happily recommend Lakeside Construction to anyone in need of a new roof!"

"We discussed our plans and David made some suggestions on roof design and use of some aluminum for screen connections vs. outrageous wood prices! David kept us informed of deliveries and scheduled work plans. He was very easy to work with and we are very pleased with this project!"

"Water damage sign was showed on the ceiling of my rental house. I called Brighter Side Roofing to come and inspect the roof. They came at afternoon. Because no one at home at that time, they could not enter the house and complete the inspection. They came back at evening (7:00 p.m.) again to finish the inspection at the date they promised. After very careful inspection, they told me that the roof is o.k. They did the inspection free for me. Very impressed by professional explanation. Would highly recommend!"

"Stephen and Arron did a great job on our remodel to convert a dressing room off of our master bath into a full bedroom. They had to close a couple openings and open up two new ones, move some electrical and added a hallway closet. Very professional, quality work. Final price was as quoted. We would hire them again."

FAQs for natural slate roofing installation and replacement projects in State-park, SC

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.
