"JD Hostetter is a great company! Tom the owner will come out personally to give an estimate and he is honest and trustworthy. We had our roof replaced, our homes exterior painted, some siding replaced as well as two exterior dormer windows replaced. My daughter has used this company as well for new gutters as well as exterior painting. The workers are always friendly , professional and experienced. They answer all questions that you may have and leave the job site spotless after the job is completed. The office staff is always helpful and friendly as well and promptly return calls. I highly recommend JD Hostetter. They are reasonable on their job quotes too. You will not be disappointed if you use this company!"

"Preferred Roofing did an EXCELLENT job!! Owner, Dave Zier, is a very professional, straight forward and HONEST contractor. He is one of the best we've dealt with over the years. The crew arrived as scheduled, covered up all landscaping and areas around our home, and everything was cleaned up after job completed. Very professional! We were amazed at their work, they tore off the layer of shingles and ALL the decking as well, our new roof was installed in ONE day, simply amazing! Our gutters were also replaced with the same professional manner as our roof, they look fantastic! Thanks to Preferred Roofing our home looks BEAUTIFUL. Highly Recommend Preferred Roofing for your next home improvement or new build."

"Russell Hill was the one bright spot of replacing my roof after storm damage. My insurance company dragged their feet for 6 months and initially refused to cover it's replacement or repair. After talking with different roofers, I went with Russell Hill because they were willing to help me through the process of "fighting" insurance. They helped me hire a public adjuster and would periodically check-in with me to assure me that I hadn't been forgotten and that the adjuster was still working on my case. Ultimately, they were right about the damage being covered by insurance and after a few months insurance agreed to cover it. Russell Hill quickly scheduled the replacement after confirmation and actual install of a ~1800 sq ft house roof replacement (including some roof element upgrades) took a day. Their staff was friendly, responsive, and helpful."

"Nick rang my doorbell and offered a free roof inspection noting that there had been hail damage on other homes in the area. He took detailed photos, reviewed them with me and offered to work with my insurance company to get a roof replacement approved. Everything Nick said and did was truthful and helpful. The roofing crew did a great job and took care to prevent damage or leave any trash or debris. I would highly recommend Roof It Forward to anyone. The only cost to me was my insurance deductible. Great job Nick and Roof It Forward!!!"

"I recently had the pleasure of working with Roof It Forward for a complete roof replacement, and I couldnâ t be more satisfied with the experience. From start to finish, the process was smooth, professional, and exceeded my expectations in every way. Our consultant, Isaac Campbell, was great from the very beginning. He patiently answered all our questions and made sure we fully understood the scope of the project. One of the aspects that impressed me the most was Isaacâ s commitment to transparency and communication. He kept us informed at every step of the process, from initial inspection to working with my insurance adjuster and coordinating the installation schedule. The installation team from Roof It Forward was equally impressive. They arrived on time, were courteous and the team worked efficiently and maintained a clean and organized worksite. Itâ s clear that they take great pride in their work, and our new roof looks fantastic! Isaac also went above and beyond to ensure that we were completely satisfied with the finished product. He conducted a final inspection to ensure everything was perfect and even followed up with us afterward to address any lingering questions or concerns. Overall, I highly recommend Roof It Forward and Isaac Campbell for any roofing needs. Their professionalism, expertise, and dedication to customer satisfaction are truly unparalleled. If youâ re looking for a reliable and trustworthy roofing company, look no further. Thank you, Roof It Forward and Isaac, for a job exceptionally well done!"

"Locke and Ladder went above and beyond from start to finish! On their very first visit, they not only walked the roof but also inspected our attic to make sure nothing was overlooked. Their detailed presentation and clear explanation of the entire project gave us complete confidence from the beginning. We went with Brava synthetic shake shingles and they had the expertise and experience to install these specialized shingles. They started exactly when promised and completed the entire job in just six days. Caleb was on-site every day making sure everything ran smoothly, and Jon checked in regularly to ensure we were happy with the progress. An added bonus—Locke and Ladder helped us secure thousands of dollars in insurance funds that we never would have pursued on our own. Their professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine care for their customers truly set them apart. This company is top shelf, and I highly recommend Locke and Ladder to anyone who needs roofing!"

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