"Gamaliel is very professional and does quality work. I was very pleased and satisfied with his work, hands down. I have girded him for a second project to refinish and paint my porch poles. Not only did he do an excellent job, he replaced one of the poles that was off centered by the builder! I would highly recommend Gamaliel for ALL of your home improvement needs."

"I am very pleased that I used Southern Leisure Builders. They were very patient with my questions and always followed with very timely and professional answers. The entire staff/workers are very dedicated in doing a very professional job. I am extremely pleased in their work ethics and the seriousness in the way they worked and treated me. It is difficult in this atmosphere to find and hire good honest people to work. In saying that I would most definitely recommend Southern Leisure for any type of work needed for your home. They are reliable and most importantly honest and their work speaks for itself."

"Excellent work, professional and punctual. They did a great job, my new roof looks fantastic and the best part is that they worked with my insurance company to get it not only repaired but upgraded and updated to current building code. I wholeheartedly recommend this company."

"THEY WERE GREAT! I HAD CALLED ANOTHER COMPANY WHO DECIDED TO DO THE HIGH PRESSURE STUFF AND REFUSED TO GIVE ME AN ESTIMATE UNLESS I BOUGHT TODAY.
DAN FROM GUTTER PROS CAME OUT MEASURED IT UP AND LET ME KNOW I COULD TAKE AS LONG AS I NEEDED TO MAKE A DECISION. THEIR PRODUCT WAS GREAT TOO. I EXPLAINED I WANTED TO CHECK THEM OUT AND READ REVIEWS ON THEM AND THE PRODUCT. SO I TOOK A FEW DAYS AND GOT BACK TO THEM. 
LOVED THE INSTALLER, WILL, ALSO.
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND TO ANYONE LOOKING FOR A GREAT PRODUCT AT A GREAT PRICE.
WE HAVE HAD PINE NEEDLES CLOGGING THE GUTTERS FOR YEARS, I WAS JUST FED UP.
SO, I AM EXCITED TO HAVE THIS DONE.
THE OTHER COMPANY THAT WAS OUT WAS LEAF FILTER OR GUTTER HELMET, I DONT REMEMBER. THE GUY WAS NICE ENOUGH BUT WAS GETTING MAD WHEN I TOLD HIM THAT I NEEDED TO DO RESEARCH.
SAVE YOURSELF SOME TIME AND CALL THESE GUYS.

"They were quick to respond and always let me know the status and updates. Did a fantastic job and matched the siding perfectly, can't even tell which panels they replaced. Superior job and the pricing was very fair. Highly recommend JMG Sales."

"Mr. Farmer and his team did a FANTASTIC job! They had my roof on in a day and had the siding completed in under 3 days. Above and Beyond used high quality products for both the roof and the siding. He put on seamless gutters as well as making sure everything was clean when his crew left. He also kept me up to date and informed of his progress with text messages and photos when everything was completed. I have already recommended his company to my family, friends, and co-workers if they ever need work done on their homes. These guys were professional, polite, and completed the job on time and on budget. I needed the exterior of my home completed in 2 weeks and Above and Beyond made that happen well before my new tenants moved in. The house looks better then when I lived in it thanks to the great quality work of Above and Beyond Construction!"

FAQs for natural slate roofing installation and replacement projects in Swansboro, 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.
