"I had a great experience with Midwest Home Exteriors from start to finish! The owner, James, and the office staff were incredibly easy to work with during the entire process of getting a new roof and gutters. They worked closely with my insurance agent, the crews and I to make this process run very smoothly. The whole process was fast and hassle-free, and the finished roof and gutters look incredible. I highly recommend them to anyone needing quality work done on their home!"

"This is who you want to do your roof! We had a full replacement, and I knew right away that I wanted Immortal Exteriors after consulting with Mark! He was so knowledgeable about the whole process! Very transparent, fair pricing, and went above and beyond! Repaired a gutter as well for me, that my dog ripped off after a chipmunk, as well as repaired a soffit! Really, an all around good human, who takes great pride in his company’s work! Oh and the whole process was SO fast! Clean up as well! I was worried about that with 3 dogs, but not a spec left on the lawn! HIGHLY recommend!"

"The new roof they installed had to be ripped off and replaced in several areas they installed shingles that were missing corners and had huge divots in them. The metal valleys were all dented up and had scratches all over them to replace them they had to remove new roofing as well and replace, some of the plywood that needed to be replaced was never done and roof still had soft spots, after repairs were made again water was leaking inside the soffits and has continued to still leak, the gutters leaked on the ends as well. They claim there waiting for Owen?s Corning to come look at the roof but it?s poor install that has lead up too the roof still leaking. I hired weather pro exteriors based on the sales guy explaining the process and trusting him stating they don?t use subcontractors but turned out they actually had subcontractors doing my roof and gutters leading to a hurry hurry work ethic because that?s how subcontractors get paid they have to hurry to make a buck. Do Not hire them"

"Was extremely pleased with the work done on my roof. Shingles were replaced and repaired a racoon hole where one was entering the attic! (Racoon had been humanely removed by other professionals.) Allied Construction & Roofing was very professional. Kept me updated on the work progress and provided pictures. Would highly recommend."

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