"I had siding replaced and very displeased with the entire process. The crew did a poor job for what I paid and have already had to be back out here 3 times in a month to fix their mistakes. Crew cheif never checked the work to determine if the quality was up to the company standard. The crew left the property a mess with my belongings scattered around the yard. They had leftover pieces scattered as well. The craftsmanship and quality was aubpar for the price. No care for the property. Damaged driveway, roof, windows, and garden bed. Chalking already cracking. Large gaps in the siding. Siding already buckeling. Seams not together. Asked to speak to a manager or supervisor multiple times and still no response. I was promised certain tasks at point of sale that company will not follow up on. Over all this company treats their customers as money and gets in and out with little oversight or quality check. I am very displeased with the product I got for the money I paid. Will never recommend."

"I was looking to have an awning installed on the back of my house after we acquired it in Sept 2021. October, I called to ask High West Siding at 20 Mount View Ln Colorado Springs, CO to come give me an estimate. On Oct 25 2021, I had Logan come out and get measurements and sign a contract. Not knowing any better, I asked when I could expect for this project to be completed. Logan said that they are generally busy, but said that the timeframe I could expect would be 3 to 6 months. I NEVER asked for this in writing and now I'm seriously regretting it. After applying for a loan with Green Sky, a home improvement loan company that High West Siding referred, I was approved for $36k which was used to start the process. Toni Kurtz was the individual who would oversee my project. Now, after not dealing with or worrying about this business dragging their feet due to high reviews/ratings, I end up calling in May and August of 2022 talking to Toni to find out that they did exactly what I was not worried about, which was dragging their feet with not filing the permits, sending the measurements to their factory to cut my awning, and pulling money out of the loan from Green Sky (which only stays open for 6 months before they close the account). After threatening to cancel the contract because of just how long they were taking I asked Toni that I wanted to cancel the contract and get a full refund. She explained that I could not cancel the contract without forfeiting what I paid into it and an estimated $8K+ more to "cancel" satisfactorily on their end. I quickly changed her tone when I said that I'd hire an attorney. Toni offered me to pay off loan herself because she is a single mother and she really needed her job and could not take the hit for me cancelling. She said that she was severely swamped and had to clean up other employee's messes which played a part on why my awning wasn't already built. She promised me 1,500 off to keep the project going. I reluctently accepted after hearing her sob story and I really did want that awning built. After all this, I didn't hear anything from High West Siding or Toni until November or December of 2022. Andrew [Name Redacted], Toni's replacement informed me that my awning was ready to be installed. During this call, I asked him that after this awning was installed, would I owe anything out of pocket? He said no. I then agreed on a date in Jan 2023 to have the work done to install the awning. I had a great experience with the installers/contractors who came over and did the work, which was amazing! I honestly can't praise them enough. The problem I had after it was completed was when Andrew [Name Redacted] came over to complete the paperwork and AMBUSH me with a final payment of $29,751.04. I was shocked because I specifically asked him if I would have any out of pocket expenses AFTER the completion which he said no, there wouldn't be any surprises. He told me that I need to reapply for another loan with Green Sky, have my wife take out a loan, or ask family because they/High West Siding does not accept monthly payments (which after hiring an attorney, Andrew contacted me to try and do just that/set up payments). He countlessly threatened me with placing a lien against our home for their mistakes, because Green Sky, their lending partner, only kept the accounts open for 6 months unless I called to have my loan extended for another 6 month, which High West knew about, but I didn't. After exhausting all means with Green Sky on reopening my loan with Green Sky with no success, trying to set up some form of payment plan until my wife got back to work, and trying to get help from family, we were left with no other alternative, but to hire an attorney and ask for a payoff settlement. They won't even agree to that and want full payment or face foreclosure. We have offered up a settlement on this, but High West Siding has rejected every single one and refuse to accept their own mistakes. BEWARE!!! Their contracts are basic/general and ONLY benefit them! From Oct 25, 2021 when the initial contract was signed, til Jan 28, 2023 when the awning was completed, took 460 days or 1 year 3 months and 3 days."

FAQs for natural slate roofing installation and replacement projects in Rush, CO

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.
