"Home Genius Came out and replaced our roof and gutters. The roof came out great and the crew worked hard for a one day install. The gutters needed a follow up as they started to come off due to heavy winds but they sent someone same day to evaluate and fix it."

"Tom from Kline was so great to work with. He went above and beyond from start to finish. He was quick to respond every time we had a question or concern. The crew that did our siding and gutters were amazing. They all showed up on time everyday and worked hard consistently. This was a scary job for us, but Tom and Kline Home exteriors made it pain free. We honestly have no complaints, are thrilled with the finished job and would highly recommend."

"We had a great experience with GGA for our roof replacement. Our rep, Jordan was fantastic from start to finish. He explained all of the shingles that were optional and available for our area, reviewing the warranties and the benefits of each product line. Once we made our decision the installation was scheduled and the prep was a breeze. The came out the morning of the install ready to work. The project took longer than anticipated but we were extremely satisfied with the results. We had 2 small screen damages which the company took care of replacing the liners. Overall, great experience and happy with the superior product offerings. We were deciding between GGA and Able and were very pleased we went with GGA for our roof replacement!"

FAQs for natural slate roofing installation and replacement projects in Zanesville, OH

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.
