Welcome to Key Exteriors, Inc., Fort Wayne's leading residential replacement contractor. Bill Kesterkey started Key Exteriors in 2003 for one reason: Integrity. Having worked in the business for a large national company with little control over the finished product, he wanted to start a company that focused on providing customers with the highest quality products, installation and service after the sale, in the industry. Our goal was not to be the cheapest nor the most expensive, but simply the best value bar none. We focus on giving the most convenient terms possible at the best value possible.

"I had such a great experience with Key. I originally wanted some gutters but found during their survey a hole in my roof that could have been very much more costly. I got my roof and gutters done in 2 weeks for a better price than I could have dreamed for for the size of my home. They also entered me into the $60,000 home Makeover giveaway with the drawing next month at their crazy fun open house I keep hearing about from some of my neighbors that have been to it last couple of years that is on May 20. I hope I win. That is the only way they could do better. "

"It went great. There was one snafu because a subcontractor’s extruding and bending machine was on the fritz. However buckeye construction got it done in one day on a very tight schedule—that is before the next big storm supposedly arriving early tomorrow morning. They even went the extra mile and attached a chimney a previous contractor left unattached, and put several screws in the roofing on corners at opposite ends of the house a previous roofing company failed to install even though there were holes already there."

FAQs for natural slate roofing installation and replacement projects in Ossian, IN

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.
