"Honest Review of Faithful Roofing & Masonry I want to share my honest experience with Faithful Roofing & Masonry. From the very first conversation to the moment the job was done, Martino and his wife, Victoria, made me feel like I truly mattered — not just another customer or profit. Martino was professional and genuine from the start. He told me their top priority is their clients, making sure they get the best experience possible. He also said it’s not about the money for him — it’s about helping people. Both Martino and Victoria are very spiritual and believe they’re here to do God’s work, and I could really feel that in how they treated me. Things have been tough lately, and they personally reached out to assure me not to worry. They worked with me to make sure my home would be protected before the winter. I had a new roof put on a year ago but needed new gutters because water was seeping into my house. They helped me stay within my budget and still get quality work done — they truly saved my home! Their team was friendly, professional, and always on time. The finished work looks amazing — the pictures speak for themselves. Other companies I spoke with made me feel like just another job, but Faithful Roofing & Masonry treated me with compassion and respect. I highly recommend them for any roofing, siding, masonry, or window/door work. They treat your home like it’s their own, and that kind of care is hard to find these days. Thank you, Martino and Victoria, for making this such a positive and stress-free experience! I’ll definitely be calling you again soon for more work."

"As the saying goes you can only have 2 out of the following three: great work, fast completion, or a great price. Power does great work and they are efficient, completely replacing my roof in a day, but they are EXPENSIVE-- well above the average price. They do give a 50 year guarantee on their work and it is transferable. If they were 30% cheaper, I would use them again in a heartbeat."

They provided a clear estimate, answered all my questions thoroughly, and kept me updated throughout the project. They used high quality materials and paid attention to everything detail. The crew arrived on time each day and completed the work within the projected One of the things that impressed me most was how well they cleaned up after the job.

"I really could not have asked for better administrative and management service. The actual work and the carpenter himself was equally as great. The carpenter was creative in delivering a great product. I would like to assume that some carpenter would have charged a bit less, but it would not have been worth the savings to either get inferior service, a headache, or a questionable product."

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