"Home Genius were punctual, professional, and concise! Jose, the project manager, took care of and answered all my questions or concerns I had about the roof replacement. Jose called the day before with all the details of the job and made sure that I was comfortable with everything that was discussed in the contract. After the job was done, Jose was very quick and communicative with closing out the job and showing me, in detail, how the roof looked and what they installed! I did not feel stressed mainly because Jose was on top of everything that was going on and I really appreciate that. And the clean up job from the crew?? Fantastic job! So great!!"

"I had an outstanding experience with Nicholas Roofing & Tuckpointing. They completed brick and stone repair work on my home, and the results were absolutely exceptional. From the very beginning, their team was professional, knowledgeable, and efficient. They quickly assessed the damage, explained everything clearly, and got the job done with precision. The craftsmanship was top-tier ? the repaired areas blend perfectly with the original brick and stone, and you can?t even tell there was ever an issue. They worked neatly, cleaned up all debris, and made sure every detail was perfect before finishing. If you?re looking for a reliable, honest, and highly skilled company for any roofing, masonry, brick, or stone repair, I highly recommend Nicholas Roofing & Tuckpointing. They truly are one of the best and deliver quality you can trust I will definitely use them for any future repairs."

"Very well done. Responded quickly to a small caulking miss after work was done and payment was made. Their storm door product (ProVia) costs a bit more than big box storm doors but feel I got more for the money as well. Will of course know their true durability only after many years have passed but product certainly looks and feels sturdier than my old Larson doors which themselves weren't bad."

"Licitra tore off the old roofing and put new roofing shingles on my bungalow in a day and a half. The crew was very professional. My house is on a 30-foot-wide lot, so I was concerned about how my neighbors' yards would be affected. But the crew cleaned up everything. No complaints."

"[Your Name] Spencer,Mitch and Francisco at M and M Roofing Company are an awesome team. I am writing to express my sincere gratitude and satisfaction following the recent installation of my rooftop deck by your team. From our initial consultation, it was clear that your company values customer input and works diligently to meet budgetary constraints without compromising quality. You listened to my concerns with great attention, and your proactive approach to problem-solving truly made a difference during the project. I was particularly impressed by how efficiently the work was completed. The entire deck was built within a week, and it surpassed my expectations in both aesthetics and functionality. The attention to detail and craftsmanship is evident, and I absolutely love the final result. Thank you once again for your outstanding service and dedication. I would gladly recommend M and M Roofing Company to anyone in need of roofing or deck solutions. Warm regards, Nicole"

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