"Chris Sheets and the team at JD Hostetter did a full roof replacement and siding repair at our house after a storm in 2020. Then they did a full exterior paint job and added shutters in 2022. Both jobs were first rate and we couldn't have been happier with the service and the workmanship. I highly recommend them exterior house work."

"The old roof had more layers on it than it should have, so it had to be removed. After it was removed, the decking underneath it had holes and looked like Marion County roads. They replaced the decking that needed it and installed the new roof, gutters and gutter covers. They covered the bushes around the house and cleaned up very well as they went. I am very satisfied with the quality of work that was done. My neighbors on both sides were as well and are planning on contacting him when they're ready for a new roof also."

"Eads gave us a solution that another company could not. Our roof didn't need replacing, which is what the other company wanted to do, but it did need the water leak repaired and I wanted to improve ventilation in another area of the roof. The initial response was very good and Chase rearranged his schedule to meet with me right away and discuss my problems. The work was high quality, in my opinion, and I'm confident we made the right choice going with Eads Roofing. There were some delays in communication on occasion but the work was done in a reasonable amount of time and everyone was great to work with."

"The original slate roof on our 150-year-old Church needed replacements and repairs; additionally, we have an area that was formerly rubberized. Cornett replaced the rubberized area with copper. Their work on the slate and copper were completed timely and the customer service contacts and workmanship were great. We would recommend them and especially for a specialized type roof."

"Locke and Ladder went above and beyond from start to finish! On their very first visit, they not only walked the roof but also inspected our attic to make sure nothing was overlooked. Their detailed presentation and clear explanation of the entire project gave us complete confidence from the beginning. We went with Brava synthetic shake shingles and they had the expertise and experience to install these specialized shingles. They started exactly when promised and completed the entire job in just six days. Caleb was on-site every day making sure everything ran smoothly, and Jon checked in regularly to ensure we were happy with the progress. An added bonus—Locke and Ladder helped us secure thousands of dollars in insurance funds that we never would have pursued on our own. Their professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine care for their customers truly set them apart. This company is top shelf, and I highly recommend Locke and Ladder to anyone who needs roofing!"

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