"It was amazing customer service, and extremely honest service. I had Steve come out to check my roof out initially to see if I needed to have a new roof or if just replacing the shingles would be fine. He explained everything as plain as day, so that I would understand exactly what he was saying. He was extremely honest with the situation of my roof and in no way was trying to be a salesman. Steve is very knowledgeable and very personable, he made me feel like he really cared about my house and the situation I was in. I will without question be using Solar Plus USA for all of my roofing needs in the future and will be sure to pass his information along to anyone I know who is having roofing issues."

"Miguel's Roofing and Masonry were very easy to work with. They did a great job at our place, replacing a very long seamless gutter, sealing several glass blocks in the roof, and correcting some masonry work as well (that they brought up as a potential issue in the future). With heavy rains there was water leaking into the house and that is fixed now! Very happy overall with them and Sunny was great to work with."

"When Tristan met with me to review and provide a quote on roof replacement for our single family home in Evergreen Park, I knew I was in the hands of an artist of the trade.  Tristan had recommendations on color and type of shingles, color and type of flashing, color and type of gutters, and a new color for the exterior wood of the home, and his quote was highly competitive.  After reviewing his recommendations and his quote, my wife and I decided to go with all of those recommendations and with Carrington.  The result is gorgeous and Tristan's artist-like impression was confirmed.  Tristan and his team performed the job working around the weather and our schedule without any inconveniences for us.  We live one and a half hours drive from the property, so daily oversight while the work was being performed was not possible.  No matter, Tristan even took the time to communicate in person with our tenants and our neighbors so that they would be aware of the day-to-day schedule details and any potential inconveniences the work might pose for them.  The finished result was within budget and exceeded our expectations in quality, craftsmanship, and aesthetic appeal.  We recommend Carrington Roofing Company passionately.  In fact, you can save yourself the time and trouble of securing additional quotes for comparison.

"We had S & E Roofing replace our roof four years ago, in 2013. To match the shingles on our upper roof, he used IKO brand shingles. The shingles turned out to be defective. After three years they began curling badly, most likely because they never sealed. I contacted Tim Cone and requested he come out and take a look. He did and agreed they had failed. Tim submitted the warranty claim for us, with samples and photographs, and said he would honor the warranty regardless of IKO's decision. Last week he completely replaced the roof, tearing off the defective shingles and replacing everything. The roofers were professional, courteous, and took their time to do the job correctly. Clean up was thorough. We are still waiting to hear from IKO. If you're re-roofing your house and you want someone who has integrity and honors their promises, S & E Roofing is your best bet."

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