"We needed a roof replacement and were looking for a company we could trust. Berg Roofing did a great job on our roof from start to finish They delivered exactly what was promised at the price quoted, with no high-pressure sales tactics. We also appreciated that they provided a list of local homes with the shingle colors we were considering, which made the decision much easier. Working with Nick made the process simple and stress-free. He was responsive, kept us informed about scheduling, and clearly explained our options and pricing. On installation day, the crew arrived right on time, worked efficiently, and left the property spotless when they were done. Their workmanship was impressive. We?re extremely happy with the results and would confidently recommend Berg Roofing to anyone seeking reliable, high-quality service."

"Fast work. Great communication up until trying to communicate with project manager. Was told everything would be completed within two days. The roof was done in one which was awesome, but I am still waiting on gutters a week later and won't be given a day/time for them. Just keep being told "early next week" or "tomorrow". Sales portion and inspection went great. Fantastic everything up until the install."

"From start to finish, everything was prompt, professional , timely, and done with care. Any questions and each step along the way were answered and provided by Zach and his team, making sure we felt comfortable and secure the entire way through the process. Roof exceeds all expectations, and as someone with a commercial construction background of over 15+ years, this has been one of the best experiences I’ve had. Heilmanns Roofing LLC, took a stressful experience after a storm and dealing with insurance, into one that I knew I did not have to worry about. If you are looking to support a locally and family owned business, this is the one!"

"We used NextWave Construction for our new front door and storm door. From start to finish, the process could not have been better. Dave arrived at our house and went over options, walking us through the entire process. After selecting what we wanted, Dave handled HOA approval, and maintained contact with us while waiting for the door. Install was perfect. The crew was extremely professional and did a fantastic job. Dave followed up again to ensure we were happy with the outcome. I highly recommend NextWave Construction. Outstanding customer service, high quality products, and perfect installation. Not much more you could ask for in a company."

"Christos from ASI Contruction was my contact from the beginning to the end of the installation of my new roof. His crew tore off the old roof, replaced any damaged wood and shingled everything within one day. Also, the crew cleaned up any items that were in the lawn. They even used a magnet to find any stray nails that might be in the lawn. Beautiful work and highly recommend ASI"

They took the time to do my roof correctly, and yet the job was done very efficiently. This crew was always on schedule and made me feel comfortable throughout the entire process. I can't imagine I will need to call them again soon considering the quality of my roof, but when I do I will easily be calling this company time and time again."

The installation was completed with precision and attention to detail, ensuring that the ring devices were properly aligned and securely fastened. The end result was exactly what I wanted - bright, well-placed flood lights that added both functionality and aesthetic appeal to my property. I would highly recommend Jacob for any electrical needs.

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