"The Pro Performance Industrial crew were very conscientious, considerate, and professional during the entire remodel. They fixed problems that came up to ensure the entire kitchen was running without flaw by the time they were finished. They worked with me to get the appliances I wanted, even going out of their way to ensure I was satisfied. Everything was up front, and there were no hidden fees or catches. I would definitely hire them again and recommend them to anyone who asks."

"Tom and his crew did a wonderful job removing some trees that fell on my house. The work involved a challenging location on a steep hillside and in a deep creek bed, and they were able to safely cut up and remove everything without causing further damage to my house. They also got on the roof to check for damage and remove all the debris up there. I was impressed by how efficiently they worked and how clean they left the job site. They responded quickly, did an awesome job, and charged a reasonable fee. I highly recommend them and will definitely use them on my next house project!"

"We hired Combs Contractors to reinstall drywall in our basement that had been torn out due to other repairs. For the initial visit Ronald was on time (so very rare in the world of contractors), and very informative. His price was very fair for the work being completed. The project was done to great quality and on time. His team was also very flexible with my schedule and kept the work area clean (as possible for dry wall). I would definitely recommend Ronald and his team to others."

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