"I had my own roof replaced in May. In August got my Mom’s roof replaced with this company too, in Hampton; including replacing 10 plywood boards. Such a great company to deal with. Does a beautiful roof job and cleans everything up perfectly. Lowest estimate after checking with 4 other major companies. Looking to feel secure with a company that does an excellent job for the lowest estimate, don’t hesitate to call this company!"

"An excellent job, start to finish. Of 3 bids, Jayhawk was in the middle and the research I did on the GAF roof system, and what Jayhawk proposed was the deciding factor. A four man crew stripped the old roof to the sheeting and installed the GAF system, just as my research indicated it should be done. All landscaping was covered during demo, all trash hauled away and a thorough sweep for debris and nails made it a turn-key job. My home is a one story, four bedroom, "L" shaped, with a sunroom, and the job was done in ONE day, I was impressed. The nice touch was all roof pipes, vents were painted a matching color."

"I have used Princess Anne Contracting Inc. to replace my roof. Dave did the job in January of 2013 and I did have a lot of stuff going on beside in my house. The house is in really good condition now. He removed all of the shingles and replaced them with really nice top of the line GAF timberline shingles, included trimming some tree branches. He cleaned my gutters. Then he took them apart and replaced any rotted wood that he found. He then put back the gutters and the gutter guards, because I have gutter guards on my house as well. Any wood that he found was replaced and if it needed to be painted to match the color of my trim, he painted it for me. He did the whole nine yards. He did an excellent job. I would definitely recommend him anytime. They are very respectful of the home owner and the property. They were just really a pleasure to work with, very polite. If you are a woman and no one's home, sometimes you get these guys that are not so respectful. They never gave me that impression. They very much respected everything I said. They were just really nice. I don't mind recommending them to others. I like them a lot. They even came back to look for a stupid squirrel which chewed right through the wood. I stuffed a whole bunch of chicken wire in the hole the squirrel chewed through the wood. They came right out to look at it. They said to wait a little bit because sometimes when squirrels start chewing they will come back, and you replace the wood and they chew through it again, and you replace them again and they chew through it again. So I will probably have them come back in the spring and hopefully the stupid squirrel won't be around."

"They did the original roof 6 years ago. Selling our house. Home inspector found tons of issues. Called Quality. They came out quick, walked the roof and found no issues. They could have charged me a ton of money for repairs that weren't needed.This is what I call integrity. Great company."

"It went great! Stockton and his partner arrived on-time as scheduled, completed the job quickly, and thoroughly cleaned-up when the work was done; both were knowledgable and professional. I'll definitely use Bevins Roofing for any future roofing repairs and would highly recommend.

FAQs for natural slate roofing installation and replacement projects in Virginia Beach, VA

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.
