"A&W representatives were very professional and provided us with a clear explanation of the damage and the options for repair. A&W worked directly with our home insurance company to verify the full cost of the roof replacement and that it would be fully covered under our insurance policy. The roof was replaced in one day. Their was a minor issue with the quality of the fascia that was replaced on one side of the house but it was resolved satisfactorily in a timely manner. I would not hesitate to recommend A&W to anyone needing roof repair work."

"John Kelemen with Ferguson Roofing did a fantastic job. He came promptly, which I really appreciated because water was coming in through the roof. He examined the roof and took pictures of the source of the leak. When he showed me the pictures he explained what was wrong, what he would need to do to fix it, and how much it would cost. The repairs were very affordable and he went ahead and did them right away. If my roof needs any repairs in the future, I'll be sure to call Ferguson and request him. This is the second time we've used Ferguson Roofing--they replaced the roof on our previous home--and we were very happy with their work on that job too. I highly recommend them, whether it's for repairs or for an entirely new roof."

"Gary, was very helpful and pointed me on the right direction after I had discussed my concerns. Had he been able to help me I would have gladly hired him. My system ended up being under warranty and he suggested I contact the manufacture as to not void my warranty."

"We had St. Louis Insulation seal and insulate the crawlspace in our one-story 3-bedroom brick home in early December. The existing insulation was probably original from the mid-70s and was falling from the ceiling of the crawlspace, about half already on the floor. SLI provided an estimate and described their procedure -- sealing, not just replacing the rolls of insulation but sealing the floor and walls and vents. They described the timeline for the work. The estimate was pricey, but well in line with other providers of the same service, and it's a one-time job, not an every-20-years job. Ultimately we selected SLI as we were impressed by reviews of their work and by their professionalism and the clarity of their description of the work to be done. They arrived punctually and performed the work very fast, considering the nature of the work (removing all old insulation and all the other debris down there, putting in the new plastic and insulation and foam spray). I was very impressed by their politeness, efficiency, and the cooperation they showed in working together. (They're in the crawlspace and so if they had yelled or even been grumpy with each other, I'd have heard it.) They removed approximately 24 very large stuffed trashbags of old insulation (it's a large crawlspace) and stacked them neatly on the driveway, then put everything in their truck and hauled it away. (That was the first day.) They brought in the supplies of the new work -- holy cow, lots of plastic, tanks for the foam spray etc -- and quickly installed all of it. (That was another half-day.) They supplied photos of the work so that I didn't need to get into the crawlspace to see what they'd done. The work was fully completed within the time they had estimated. And everything they did was cleaned up. I would recommend, without reservation, their work. Great people, very professional, and they clearly have done this enough that they are very well organized. Because the entrance to our crawlspace is in the floor of a bedroom closet, they kept that bedroom closed while they were working, and took everything in and out via a window. It kept any mess localized, so that I did have to do a thorough cleaning of the carpet and all surfaces in the room but it was only one room, and I was cleaning the dust basically -- all their supplies and any trash were totally removed. So A+ on that. One small unforeseen issue was that we have small dogs, and we had not thought about the spray foam and any fumes, and SLI did not think of that either, until the day they were going to do the spray foam. We had to quickly move the dogs to another part of the house, and near a window, where they would be less exposed. (They're pugs so I think the fumes would not be an issue for a larger dog -- we just need to be careful because they're pugs.) If you have small dogs, or pet birds, you will want to consider how to keep them safe during the foam spray. Overall, St. Louis Insulation did a great job. They said exactly what they'd do, and they did it. Considering the nature of the work required (bending or kneeling in a crawlspace, hauling huge bags of old insulation and rolls of plastic while bending or kneeling), I am hugely impressed with the professionalism and with their good-natured attitude. They are very good at what they do."

"For Valor Roofing was very professional. They came out, inspected the roof and Hampton was able to get my insurance to pay for everything. My only out-of-pocket cost was my $1500 deductible. I wouldn’t recommend anyone else!"

FAQs for natural slate roofing installation and replacement projects in Brussels, IL

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.
