"Contacted multiple roofing companies for my home in Tennessee. Received 3 responses with various ranges of cost. Jordan and his company, , First Choice Metal Roofing, stood out above the rest. I could not believe the color choices available and cost was extremely reasonable. Within 2 weeks of contract signing, I had a beautiful new roof placed in ONE day! I no longer have to worry about my spouse climbing on the roof to replace shingles. Thank you Jordan for a fabulous job on my new 40 year roof:)"

"After calling several roofing companies for pricing and availability, I scheduled a roof maintenance service with Southern Strong because they offered the best price AND could accommodate my schedule. The very next day, Wade arrived promptly, inspected my roof, and then showed me photos as he explained the situation: the flashing around the exhaust fan (as well as other places) was not properly sealed, and there were several exposed nails and penetrations. After he caulked the exposed nails and re-secured the headwall flashing, he showed me photos of the completed work. He said that if that these repairs didn't solve the problem, he would recommend replacing the flashing and the affected shingles. It is now seven months later, and I haven't had a single problem with the roof since then. I highly recommend Southern Strong Roofing: they are pleasant professionals who provide affordable, effective, and thorough service. The next time I have a roofing problem, I will make one call--and that will be to Southern Strong."

"Rep. checked entire system. He found several wires not connected properly and fixed this. He also made recommendations regarding the attachment of the panels to the rood that would provide more stability and leakproofing. The representative appeared to know what he was doing - much better than others, including the representative who was engaged by the roofer (who replaced our rood due to hail damage) to disconnect/connect the panels."

"Our family bought an older home in Farragut 7 years ago and have been constantly renovating the home and property since. We’ve worked with a number of local companies for various renovations and repairs during that time. We also renovated our previous home in Knoxville. So we’ve worked with a LOT of local home improvement/repair companies. We have high standards, and have some very good experiences with local companies, as well as some that were not so good. In September 2020, Green Home Installations replaced our 135 foot long 8 foot tall privacy fence, and another 75 feet of six foot high fence with two gates. Our existing fence had been built more than 20 years earlier and was collapsing. After over 20 years in Knoxville, this major project with Green Home Renovations was without a doubt our best experience in working with a local company. I would recommend them to anyone, and here is why. We contacted Angie’s List for quotes on the fence. Three companies responded. One was a well-known local fence company, once was a smaller business, and the third was Green Home Renovations. We had some specific requests for this fence, and each company responded with a visit and a follow up quote. All three companies made a reasonably compelling case but Green stood out because they offered two things the others didn’t: 1) a MUCH longer warranty, and 2) a clear description and demonstration of the higher quality materials they recommended and why. Also, to be fair, the cost of the work they recommended was higher than the other two. After 25 years of home ownership, we’ve learned that for long-term projects with demanding environments (like a fence) you never regret choosing higher quality. So we chose Green. Anthony was assigned to lead the project and his communication and reliability as project lead were outstanding. We knew exactly what day they planned to start the project and in the days afterward Anthony made certain we knew what days and when they would be there. There were some rainy days in the middle of the project and they worked in the rain when it was safe. Some days they asked permission to work late and worked until dark to get the job done sooner. The team that worked with Anthony was respectful, good natured, professional, hard-working, and regularly asked questions to clarify what we wanted. Robert, the owner, was also fantastic to work with. He met with us before the project began to resolve some specific final details and came by daily to check on progress. There were discussions about what certain elements of the quote meant, and he worked through every detail with us, and found a good answer or solution to all of the issues of concern or clarification. He proved to be very straightforward, reasonable, extremely committed to customer service and satisfaction with the project plan and outcome. He also proved to be an outstanding person, with a remarkable commitment to the integrity of the business. The outcome was an absolutely beautiful, high quality, custom fence that all our neighbors are excited about. Green Home went the extra mile with quality of materials and finished it beautifully with very sturdy gates, high quality hinges, magna-locks and beautiful post caps. I should mention that I never met anyone from Green prior to the Angie’s List request, so this is not a family and friends review. But I repeat, Green Home Installations was the most impressive home renovation company we’ve worked with in our 20 plus years of living in Knoxville. We enthusiastically recommend them to anyone."

FAQs for natural slate roofing installation and replacement projects in Greenback, TN

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.
