"The company installed a membrane roof on the low-slope sunroom addition and a shingle roof on the addition with a pitched roof. They did an excellent job. The sunroom stays very cool in the summer because it is so well insulated and the white membrane reflects the heat of the sun. Both roofs look great and very professionally installed."

"We are brand new to the Bloomington area, and Help Restoration Inc came to us highly recommended by our seasoned realtor. We trusted his suggestion, and are so glad we went with Ernie and the crew at Help Restoration. The process for getting our new roof and gutters installed was easy and painless (even a little enjoyable thanks to Ernie's expert input and great sample books to choose from!). Ernie and the crew were willing to talk us through the process and address any questions or concerns we had, and I would highly recommend their service."

"Very professional and very quick. I recently bought a house knowing that something was wrong with the roof but during COVID and housing pressure I went for it. I had JC roofing come and look at the roof and they found a hole where I could see a leek had been in the house and gave the option to fix or replace the entire roof. I went with an entire roof replacement because the house was 20yrs old. JC Gave me all the Info I needed to Insure my roof through the materials manufacturer and came out to my house multiple times to ensure the color and material was what I desired. Very good company. They also did the roof on schedule with no price changes and cleaned up after themselves. He even let me throw away some old furniture in the dumpster he rented for the roof material. All in all I was very pleased. And In twenty years I will come back to have do again"

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