"Craig worked closely with my insurance company to replace a roof damaged by hail. His installers were professional and were very complete in clean up.The more impressive feature it that Craig has been out to my house a few times after installation to address minor adjustments. He has helped me figure out what happened after gutter guards were installed by another company. He has been very generous in his help and concern for my roof and proper drainage of water away from my home. I could not ask for a more concerned and honest business man."

"Zack and Rob were excellent contractors to work with. The crew they sent out did a great job installing the roof, and the cleanup during and after install was incredible. I highly recommend these guys."

"I got Tesson's name from my local insurance agent so I decided to get a bid from them. I was able to schedule an appointment to review the work pretty quickly and Shawn showed up as scheduled. We walked through the scope of work from the insurance estimate and then he took additional time to gather his measurements and details. A couple of days later I got a call from Shawn and another more experienced estimator from his company to discuss the bid that they were still working on. This felt like a very high pressure sales pitch in which they wanted me to sign a contract with them before I even saw their proposal so that they could negotiate directly with the insurance company to get more money from them. They were making claims that the insurance company left out significant portions of scope for the job, but when I asked them to detail those on the bid so that I could negotiate with the insurance company, they failed to follow through. I was extremely turned off by this high pressure tactic since I wasn't intimidated by working with the insurance company on the estimate as I had already been doing so. I already had other bids that were in line with the insurance estimate and was looking for 1 more to be sure all the bases were covered. If you are looking for a company to handle the job totally for you and you are happy to just sit on the sidelines and let someone else run the show and you don't have to get involved at all, they might be a good option. However, if you want to be involved in how your insurance claim is being handled then they don't seem to be a good choice. Once I eventually got their bid, it did exceed the insurance estimate, but they neglected to detail what line items they thought the insurance company missed. They only included the roof replacement and gutter repairs in their estimate. They neglected to even bid on the other parts of the insurance claim such as fascia and window screens."

"Lifetime was able to scope out our roof project, provide material options, and a quote faster than the other 4 local companies we considered for our 1,200 sq ft roof replacement were able to simply schedule a visit to / and examine our roof. The project manager (Tom B.) was unbelievably responsive, kept us fully informed through every step of the process, and made sure we had a full understanding of the services we'd be receiving. Besides the exceptionally fast and communicative project management, Lifetime was among the most affordable options we considered. I can't recommend them highly enough, and if you have a chance, ask to work with Tom B!"

"Perfect. They were upfront about cost and always let you know where project stood. They also cleaned work area up the only thing they left behind was a repaired roof and a nice looking fascia."

"It was a great experience. They were focused on customer service and not getting money for a job. They inspected our roof and was very transparent about the kind of damage we had, which wasn’t from hail. They also did a full inspection and told us the roof was still on very good shape and there was no need to replace it at this time. I will use them again for any services we need that they cover."

"From A to Z, Start to Finish (and beyond) this company and the people involved in my roof repair were nothing short of remarkable. Nathan Snyder was my sales rep and was Fantastic. Knowledgeable, kind, considerate, no hard pressure sales. He just simply stated facts easily to understand and was with me by follow up throughout the entire process. He sent a stand in to meet with the Insurance agent who was INCREDIBLE, Dillon. I really liked the was in which he spoke to and treated the insurance agent, very kind and very considerate. They worked in partnership easily. I also has the opportunity to meet the owner of the company this day--how great that he took the time to introduce himself. Dillon and Nathan went way beyond to find just the right type and color roofing that I wanted (not n their books, so they were able to obtain what I wanted) How many company's extend themself in this manner? The day of install was done by a very competent, efficient, and friendly crew--after they left you would never know they had been there, other than the wonderful new roof! (which neighbors have already raved about) Thanks to Blue Ladder Roofing.--I will be telling everybody THIS is the only company you should use."

FAQs for natural slate roofing installation and replacement projects in Maryland Heights, MO

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.
