"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."

"We were very pleased with A&D Exteriors. We got estimates from 3 potential roofers. A&D offered a lot of services and material for a very competitive price. Gene, our project manager, did not try to oversell us or scare us into more than we needed. He kept us apprised of steps in the process, especially when weather delayed our date. Excellent communication! We had checked out the ratings of the the 2 different shingle manufacturers they offered as well as a third offered by one of the other roofing companies. We found A & D offered high quality material. We easily made decisions about various options and signed the contract. They pulled the permits and our installation went very smoothly, taking only one day. No money was required until the project was completed. We were very impressed with the professionalism of the crew. They were extra careful with the plantings around the house, protecting everything, and meticulous in the clean-up. This was important to us because we just had some new landscaping put in. It couldn’t have gone better. We would certainly recommend A&D Exteriors."

"The roofing crew was very efficient, polite, and professional. The home genius team was amazing. Anthony, the sales rep, was very thorough throughout the sales process. Lauren, the production coordinator, was very good with communication and kept us updated about the start date. And the project manager made sure the install went smoothly. Overall very pleased with the new roof and very excited for them to do our gutters!"

"I have requested couple of different quotes to replace the roof on my garage. I decided to go with Infinity Exteriors. Logan Rezash worked with me who gave me the best deal. He was very professional and easy to talk to and explained in full details what they will provide me with my project. The materials and the warranty on the project that works for my budget. They kept me informed of the status of the project from the start to the finish. Their team that worked on the job was very polite and fast. They did an excellent job. They cleaned the yard and twice doubled checked for any loose nails around the garage. If you have a project to be done, I would recommend Infinity for your project. Dragica Miladinovic"

"As the saying goes you can only have 2 out of the following three: great work, fast completion, or a great price. Power does great work and they are efficient, completely replacing my roof in a day, but they are EXPENSIVE-- well above the average price. They do give a 50 year guarantee on their work and it is transferable. If they were 30% cheaper, I would use them again in a heartbeat."

"I highly recommend Ridge Top Exteriors. I worked with Eric Foster and Brian Baker. Both were extremely helpful and knowledgeable. Out of the bids I obtained they were the only company that offered to come back out and review the bid to make sure I understood it and to answer any questions I had. Eric the project manager was on sight when the roof work started and again when it finished. Their crew was fast and clean. They may of not been the lowest bid I received but was extremely happy I choose them based on service and quality of work. Being in service industry myself, I always say you get what you pay for. Thank You Ridge Top!"

"I cannot say enough wonderful things about Faithful Roofing and Masonry. Martino and his team did a remarkable job on my home. In just about four days, they replaced damaged wood on my roof, installed beautiful new shingles, and completed the siding on the front of my house. The materials are high quality and everything looks like it will last for many years to come. The craftsmanship truly speaks for itself. I am so thankful that Martino and I crossed paths. Martino was respectful, punctual, and completely true to his word. He explained every step of the process clearly and made sure I understood what was being done. I especially appreciated how he used drone technology to show me detailed before-and-after pictures — that level of transparency and professionalism meant so much. I am beyond pleased with the results and honestly left speechless. Please book him! If you are looking for roofing or masonry work, p"

"We hired then to replace 9 windows. It was a very pleasant and easy experience from the start. Everyone I dealt with there was kind and professional. The installers were courteous and did a great job cleaning up when they were done. Would give 6 stars if I could. Now we're saving up to have them do our roof and gutters!"

"I booked the roof repair job, and they were prompt to come out to first do a survey, provided a quote, and we were able to quickly schedule a time for repair. Repairs were done quickly, and there was great communication with the office."

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