"The experience from beginning to end was very professional. Russell came by to look at my roof and then sat down with me to go over what he saw, what he recommended and next steps. I've never had my roof replaced before, so that's why I gave 4 stars on price because I don't know what is expensive or inexpensive for roofing. Infinity Exteriors was in between the other two companies that provided me a quote, but the professionalism and communication is what did it for me. Once I signed the paperwork, I was later assigned a project manager who would give me updates and call me to let me know when I would be expecting materials and a dumpster to arrive at the house. The project manager showed up the day of the project and followed up with me after completion to do a walk through before final payment. Overall, they did an amazing job. No complaints here!"

"Chad and his crew were absolutely amazing. From the first sales call, until the last nail of completion, I knew we could count on him. He had been referred, and we immediately felt comfortable with Chad, as he patiently explained the value in a significant undertaking - this roof will be there another 200 years, the quality is just that good! The work was on-time, professional, and the crew did a great job of cleaning up when they are done. We plan to use Metal Roofs Direct for other roofs when the time comes!"

"We'd used Diaz on a rental home in Janesville 1-1/2 years ago and were impressed with their work. Still, when it was time for a new roof on our own home, we called them, along with three or four other roofers, for estimates. One of the other four never showed up and while the others had good reviews, neither could beat out Diaz on the price and timeliness of the installation.
We'd had a skylight that had started leaking at just the right time, so we ordered a new one. I 'd already had a quote from Diaz and when I informed them that I would need the new skylight involved they said they would do it for me at no extra charge - and they did. The skylight was shipped to us a week behind schedule and I called Diaz immediately to let them know I needed to change the installation date. No problem. We reschedule for a week later. The skylight came in ... finally.  
The next morning the Diaz crew arrived exactly when they said they would and went to work. They said they would have the skylight and roof installed the same day and the eaves and gutters two days after. By four o'clock that afternoon, the new roof and skylight were installed and looked fantastic. Two days later, the aluminum crew arrived, right on time, as they said they would and less than 3 hours later, we had all new eaves and downspouts. The house looks fantastic.
All work was done on time, as promised, as well as cleanup each day (the entire crew walked around the house in staggered intervals and picked up and debris they could find ... two of them swept the edges of the lawn around the house with magnets).
We would definitely use them again ... and again ... and again!

"Scaduto solutions was very helpful in our home repairs. They were very efficient with us needing the work done quickly as we are expecting a baby this year. Justin guaranteed the work to be done within two weeks of signing the contract. He was very reasonable in price. He kept the line of communication open during this entire remodel of the roof and gutters. Our roof was replaced poorly only a few years prior and he made sure that wasn’t going to happen again. He arrived with the crew when they start demo and went to get more supplies as he noticed more damage throughout the year off process. I am so thankful I could trust another company to install the roof properly and efficiently. Justin was very professional and didn’t just act like a salesman to get commission for a new roof. He actually cares about his customers and wants to do everything he can to make sure they are satisfied."

"I personally sought out L.I.C. General roofing solutions after seeing his work the previous year in my neighborhood and neighbors giving great verbal reviews regarding roofing done after last year’s storms. Israel communicated well regarding work to be done and estimate prior to hire .The crew was well mannered and ensured decent clean up during the process of tearing off and replacing my roof so we could enter/leave my home as needed. Hardest working crew I have ever seen!! They stayed extremely long hours over 2 days due to a shift in Mother Natures forecast , completing my three tiers of roofing over 3000 ft sq house and 3 car garage - WOW! Israel personally checked in with me several times during the process and again the day after completing the roof — terrific customer service !! The day after completion Mother Nature delivered her forecaster rain for 2 days then snow with no issues with my new roofing . Thanks ? Israel ….. I look forward to working with you again !"

"It went very well. We had some issues with our roof leaking and couldn't find the source or correct the problem. It is an older roof with a few layers of shingles, but we can't afford to replace it quite yet. The owner and one of his employees stopped by and did a thorough inspection of the roof for us and found the main problem. They suggested a quick and dirty fix to immediately remedy the problem until we could afford to replace the roofing. Overall, helpful advice and a great job finding the issue.

"Again, this is in reference to the quote process. We have gone with another vendor for the roof replacement. Salesman was knowledgeable, prompt, and courteous. I think the information he gave about his product to be correct, and I believe his product is very good. The only information I might question is that he claimed his aluminum shingles have the highest fire rating, but this usually isn't the case since aluminum softens starting about 400F. None-the-less, I'm certain it is much more fire resistant than any conventional shingle. But the sales was low-key, high pressure. Very slick presentation. Stressed all the things wrong with the roof (said it needed replacement very soon and had lots of problems) as well as being complex. Multiple times talked about how heavy the existing shingles were (as if the roof wasn't designed for asphalt shingles). Gave a quote of about $60+K, but immediately offered 10% off if we maintain a sign on our front lawn for several weeks and another 10% if they could do the roof at their convenience, bring the cost to $50+K. If decking needed to be replaced, they'd do it for $75 per sheet in addition to the contract price. Finally, said the discounts were only good about 3 days. Seems like the $50K price is the real price, with a 10% extra for rush jobs. The salesman job seems to want to make an offer and try to get you to commit quick. At the beginning of the presentation, he even asked if we had already talked to other companies (we hadn't). Possibly if we had, he might have taken a different tact. Their web site has a "Sign up for a chance for a free roof". People that buy a roof from this company, are not only paying for their own roof, but for the company's PR as well. Bringing in other companies for quotes, we were told the roof is in good shape (should be replaced in the next few years), and that it would be simple installation. Other quotes came in at the $29K to $31K. Decking sheets were priced at $45 to $60. I seriously think Metal Roofing Systems will provide a good product, and professional installation. But be certain to do your own research and get a few quotes for your job."

FAQs for natural slate roofing installation and replacement projects in Madison, WI

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.
