"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."

"Quoted a roof repair, was professional and in line with other bids. Ended up going with someone else who saw roof and siding hail damage - and the insurance adjuster agreed. There was just more to it than a roof repair which wasnâ t caught in the drone footage."

"Nick rang my doorbell and offered a free roof inspection noting that there had been hail damage on other homes in the area. He took detailed photos, reviewed them with me and offered to work with my insurance company to get a roof replacement approved. Everything Nick said and did was truthful and helpful. The roofing crew did a great job and took care to prevent damage or leave any trash or debris. I would highly recommend Roof It Forward to anyone. The only cost to me was my insurance deductible. Great job Nick and Roof It Forward!!!"

"Excellent! Very professional. Large crew...in and out in 1 day. They have done at least 3 other roof jobs in my neighborhood and came highly recommended. I can see why. Great price, great guarantee, quick, efficient, great clean-up. My only advice to anyone with tender plants or bushes like hydrangeas or azaleas that have branches that might easily break off is to warn them ahead of time to cover with "extra care" if these are in the way, or you might figure a way to cover them yourself. All in all, though, they did a great job of protecting my plants and bushes."

"We chose Locke and Ladder after getting four bids. They were not the lowest bid, but the entire sales process was a leading reason why we chose them. Caleb did a very thorough job of explaining everything we needed to know about replacing a roof and doors and windows. He listened to what our needs and concerns were and gave us a proposal that met those needs exactly. Everything that was promised was provided exactly as Caleb said it would be. The crew that put the roof on were very professional and thorough in their prep, installation and cleanup. Caleb was at the worksite every day and when we had the final walkthrough, the one small issue (not related to the roof but a previous gutter issue) was addressed and will be completed. The finished product looks fantastic! I highly recommend Locke and Ladder!"

"Josh and his team @ JW are the BEST! He took the time to walk through the entire insurance replacement process with us step by step and made sure we were informed as to what was going on and what to expect during the process as well. I would definitely have Josh and JW Restores back to my home or my families homes for any repairs. Josh is a straight shooter, honest and dependable. A+ quality of company and workmanship!"

"Brent Ludlow provided a free appraisal of our roof as he was in the neighborhood replacing 3 of our neighbor's roofs damaged by a Summer hail storm. He worked with our insurance appraiser to ensure all damages were repaired, including a couple of skylights and our gutters. His crew quickly removed the old roof and installed shingles with a lifetime warranty. And cleaned our property from all roofing debris. A 2nd crew came out later that afternoon to install the new gutters, working past 8:30 in the evening to complete the install. I giggly recommend Roof It Forrward."

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