"The existing roof on the house and garage was torn off, new sheet decking installed on top of old board decking of the house, new flashing, drip edge, shingles installed on house and garage. Installed new ridge vent on house. Some of the siding that needed to be removed to install flashing was damaged as can happen but was replaced with new. It was a difficult roof with multiple dormer windows and odd angles but they did a careful job and I've received many compliments on the appearance from neighbors. Good job with clean up too. The owner is easy to reach and quick to reply to all questions I had. From day I asked for quote until day completely finished was under 5 weeks. Without hesitation I'd recommend them to others. Competitively priced compared to two other bids."

"I recently had the pleasure of working with Roof It Forward for a complete roof replacement, and I couldnâ t be more satisfied with the experience. From start to finish, the process was smooth, professional, and exceeded my expectations in every way. Our consultant, Isaac Campbell, was great from the very beginning. He patiently answered all our questions and made sure we fully understood the scope of the project. One of the aspects that impressed me the most was Isaacâ s commitment to transparency and communication. He kept us informed at every step of the process, from initial inspection to working with my insurance adjuster and coordinating the installation schedule. The installation team from Roof It Forward was equally impressive. They arrived on time, were courteous and the team worked efficiently and maintained a clean and organized worksite. Itâ s clear that they take great pride in their work, and our new roof looks fantastic! Isaac also went above and beyond to ensure that we were completely satisfied with the finished product. He conducted a final inspection to ensure everything was perfect and even followed up with us afterward to address any lingering questions or concerns. Overall, I highly recommend Roof It Forward and Isaac Campbell for any roofing needs. Their professionalism, expertise, and dedication to customer satisfaction are truly unparalleled. If youâ re looking for a reliable and trustworthy roofing company, look no further. Thank you, Roof It Forward and Isaac, for a job exceptionally well done!"

FAQs for natural slate roofing installation and replacement projects in Kirklin, IN

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.
