"We were very pleased with A&D Exteriors. We got estimates from 3 potential roofers. A&D offered a lot of services and material for a very competitive price. Gene, our project manager, did not try to oversell us or scare us into more than we needed. He kept us apprised of steps in the process, especially when weather delayed our date. Excellent communication! We had checked out the ratings of the the 2 different shingle manufacturers they offered as well as a third offered by one of the other roofing companies. We found A & D offered high quality material. We easily made decisions about various options and signed the contract. They pulled the permits and our installation went very smoothly, taking only one day. No money was required until the project was completed. We were very impressed with the professionalism of the crew. They were extra careful with the plantings around the house, protecting everything, and meticulous in the clean-up. This was important to us because we just had some new landscaping put in. It couldn’t have gone better. We would certainly recommend A&D Exteriors."

"I hired Infinity Exteriors to replace gutters and downspouts on my home, and install heating coils to one area of the roof. Prior to the work the office staff called me and provided updates on when the crews would arrive. The crews that did the work were very professional and did a great job!"

"We needed a roof replacement and were looking for a company we could trust. Berg Roofing did a great job on our roof from start to finish They delivered exactly what was promised at the price quoted, with no high-pressure sales tactics. We also appreciated that they provided a list of local homes with the shingle colors we were considering, which made the decision much easier. Working with Nick made the process simple and stress-free. He was responsive, kept us informed about scheduling, and clearly explained our options and pricing. On installation day, the crew arrived right on time, worked efficiently, and left the property spotless when they were done. Their workmanship was impressive. We?re extremely happy with the results and would confidently recommend Berg Roofing to anyone seeking reliable, high-quality service. "

"The team from TTLC made the entire process simply and easy. I had a dedicated project manager that essentially took care of everything for us. I barely had to get involved at all, other than choosing days for installation. We chose from a variety of samples and colors which all looked nice. They did a really good job replacing our roof and gutters. If you need any roof, siding or gutter work, I definitely recommend TTLC!"

"<p>After receiving a number of estimates, Titan's price was competitive, in the mid-range of estimates.  However, we ultimately chose Titan because of their sales rep Tim Nilles.  </p> <p>Tim's roofing experience offered the knowledge we needed in solving some longstanding roofing concerns. His genuine interest in quality products and workmanship was evidenced both by the product selection offered and by his final inspection of the work performed. Tim's enthusiastic approach is refreshing, and his flexibility allowed for a relaxed experience in choosing the contracted services. </p> <p>Tim shined in his explanations, in his fairness, and in his unique ability to treat our home like it was his own. </p> <p>Despite tackling multiple estimates every day, Tim was never bored nor condescending with our questions. He remained focused and accessible to our concerns. When the roof deck tear-off indicated baffles were required, or a discussion about more roof vents arose, Tim explained our options and prices. </p> <p>The job required about 4000 sq. ft. of shingling, and the work crew of 7 was on-time, worked efficiently and finished the task in two days, ahead of schedule. Although Titan is an accredited installer of GAF Timberline shingles, we chose the Owens-Corning Duration shingles, for their added strength and the warm brown tone of the Desert Tan color. </p> <p>The new roofing on the farmhouse and garage look spectacular, complimenting the stone fireplace, the flagstone walks, and garden edging. Thank you Titan, and thank you Tim. </p>"

"The roofing crew was very efficient, polite, and professional. The home genius team was amazing. Anthony, the sales rep, was very thorough throughout the sales process. Lauren, the production coordinator, was very good with communication and kept us updated about the start date. And the project manager made sure the install went smoothly. Overall very pleased with the new roof and very excited for them to do our gutters!"

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