"Beginning with the initial contact to the finished job, Jeremiah, my sales contact, and office staff were very informative. The crew finished and cleaned up the job in 2 days. Jeremiah followed-up during the roof replacement with phone calls and texts. Upon completion of the roof installation, he visited my home to check the outside perimeter for debris and to also confirm my satisfaction with the job. Thank you for a job well done."

"We had roof damage and our deck was destroyed during the hurricane. TG came in and fixed the roof plus tore out the old deck and replaced it...plus an addition to the deck and build a new roof for the deck. Wonderful work, very nice to work with and did not try to charge and outrageous amount. Would recommend to anyone. Thanks for a great experience!"

Customers say: Super punctual

"Drew Renovations was our #1 pick from price to character, a decision that we never once regretted! It was overwhelming to purchase our first roof during a pandemic while our lives were turned upside down financially, to begin with. It was essential to get a quality roof, a competitive price, and work with a trustworthy and locally owned small business. After multiple estimates, both before and after meeting Drew (the company owner), we knew from our first impression he was the guy to go with! Drew and his team not only did everything that the other companies did with their highest quotes but did it while offering suggestions for saving cost where possible and made our roof look more admirable than any other on the block! Drew put the heart with the hammer into his work and within his daily customer service. Our chimney facing was leaking; we had large holes due to rot on both sides, we needed over 20 boards replaced, we had multiple corners of facia board and soffit rotten and needing replacing. We had numerous layers of old shingles that needed removing, some code issues resolved, and a total gutter replacement. We saved in comparison to other quotes. THANK YOU DREW RENOVATIONS!! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!"

"In every way, wish I had known of this crew for the past 10 years as we remodeled our mountain retreat. Most considerate folk who helped in every way. Came back and hung the exterior window shutters after I had ordered the wrong size, and did not charge. Hired only for exterior painting of entire house, but while there asked them to check my roof shingles as we notices moss buidup in rain gutters. They went right to work prior to painting, resolved mold on many areas of roof and gutters at a super fair price in addition to paint agreement. Would hire again. Will ask them to come for trees, trimming and other landscaping."

"We contracted in late December for Roofing Inc. to install a new Interlocking Roof. Once we finalized the deal it took about 2 weeks to have the materials delivered and work to begin. On the first day of the project the front of the house was stripped of the old roof material and about 1/4 of the new roof installed. We were impressed that there was very little refuse in the yard and the amount of work that was accomplished on the first day. Of course everything can't go right with any project, in conversing with the crew chief I did not mention that we live about 14 miles from everywhere. Also the salesman did not inform him either. We were unable to be here for the first day and when we did speak with the crew chief, he said that they nearly ran out of gas and did not have lunch the first day. We felt really bad about that but that set back did not effect the professionalism or diligence of the crew. On the second day they completed the installation of the front roof, removed the old roof on the rear and prepared the bare unlayment to weather the rain due the next day. We weathered the storm with no leaks. Thursday brought the sun and our new roof. It looks great and the craftsmanship is excellent. i would recommend Roofing inc and the Interlock roof for anyone that is looking for a roof that will last a lifetime."

"Travis Roofing is an excellent company. They were called to repair our metal roof which someone else put on. It leaked continuously. Travis Roofing repaired the entire roof and even cleaned the gutters while here. My roof hasn’t leaked at all since the work was done. I definitely recommend them for all roofing needs."
This homeowner has a bad leak so we replace slate and put in heavy copper flashing on this Fire Chimney on upper and lower lvl then seal wall off with solar seal!

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