Chris came out the same day I called and actually got on the roof instead of just guessing from the driveway. The price was fair and the crew had the old shingles off quicker than I expected. They finished in one day and I only found one nail after they left, which is pretty good considering the mess a roof job makes.

We had a small leak around one of the vents and thought it might turn into a big repair. They showed us photos of what was going on and didn’t try to sell us a whole roof, which I appreciated. Repair was done fast and we haven’t had any issues since the last heavy rain.

I got three quotes and this one was not the cheapest, but it felt the most straight forward. No scare tactics, just explained the shingles, warranty, and what would happen if they found bad decking. The crew worked hard and cleaned up too.
Stone-Solid Performance for Atlanta's Most Distinctive Homes
Few roofing materials carry the history and reputation of natural slate. Found on some of Atlanta's most admired estate properties, slate delivers a level of permanence and character that manufactured materials simply cannot match. Peach Street Roofing brings the technical knowledge to handle these systems correctly — from initial installation through decades of continued service.
Built to Outlast the House Itself: Slate installations routinely reach the century mark. When correctly set and maintained, this material becomes the last roof a homeowner ever needs to buy.
Inherently Safe by Nature: Slate is quarried stone — it doesn't ignite, doesn't rot, and doesn't allow water to pass through. Those properties aren't achieved through coatings or treatments; they're built into the material itself.
No Two Tiles Alike: The variation in tone, surface texture, and color from tile to tile gives a slate roof its handcrafted quality — something no factory-produced product can fully replicate.
Slate Roof Repair
Repairing slate correctly means working carefully around what's already in place. We source matching material, use proper copper fixings, and replace only what's necessary — without disturbing the layout or structural integrity of the surrounding tiles. Box gutter relining is also part of our slate service work.
Slate Roof Replacement
A slate replacement on a historic Atlanta property requires planning before the first tile comes off. We assess load-bearing capacity, source the right grade and color for your home's original character, and manage all copper flashings and custom detail work through to completion.
Options
Standard Slate
Consistent dimensions and clean lines make standard slate a strong match for formal traditional architecture — Colonial, Federal, and Tudor-style homes where a structured, symmetrical roofline is part of the design intent.
Random Width / Textural
Varying tile widths and thickness levels add visible depth and movement to the roofline. This graduated style has a handmade quality that reads especially well on older Atlanta homes with strong architectural character.
Synthetic Slate
High-quality polymer slate offers the visual weight and shadow lines of natural stone at a fraction of the structural demand — a practical path to the slate aesthetic on homes where load capacity is a limiting factor.

How long does a slate roof last in Georgia's climate?
Natural slate is one of the few roofing materials that can genuinely outlast the building it covers. With proper installation and periodic maintenance, a slate roof in Atlanta can last 75 to 100 years or more. Georgia's heat and humidity have little effect on stone, which is a core reason slate holds up so well in our region. The key variables are the slate grade selected and how consistently the copper flashings and fasteners are serviced over the roof's life.
Does a slate roof cost significantly more than asphalt in Atlanta?
Yes — slate requires a higher upfront investment than any other residential roofing material. In the Atlanta market, slate installation typically runs $15 or more per square foot, compared to $4.50–$6.50 for architectural shingles. When you factor in lifespan, a slate roof installed today may be the only roof your home ever needs. For the right property, the long-term math often holds up well — it's one of the few materials where the total cost of ownership argument is straightforward.
Does my home's structure need reinforcement before a slate roof installation?
In many cases, yes. Natural slate weighs 700 to 1,500 lbs per roofing square (100 sq ft), compared to 250–400 lbs for architectural shingles. Before we specify a slate installation, we assess the roof deck and framing to confirm the structure can handle the load. If reinforcement is needed, we identify that during the inspection so there are no surprises mid-project. This structural review is a required part of any legitimate slate proposal.
