"Franos Roofing did fantastic job from start to finish. I have replaced roof siding and gutters. His crew did great job, attention to details of installing and cleaning after themselves. We highly recommend Franco’s roofing and his team. Thank you Arek."

"We just had our roof replaced by Berg, and the crew did a fantastic job. Complete tear-off of the old roof, some decking replaced, all new flashing, new vents, new attic fan. Professional crew, clean-up was thorough. Nick was our representative, he oversaw the entire project and kept us informed of what the crew was doing. I would absolutely recommend Berg Great company, great product, great installation process. We're very pleased!"

"I hired Titan Construction two years ago to install new siding and a new roof. Work was done to my satisfaction. The area around the house was cleaned at the end of the work day. Less than a year later a wind storm took off two of the siding panels. I called Tim Niles, the general manager, and workers were there within a week to replace the damaged panels. However, the stand-out is that while having my gutters cleaned this year from another company, the workman pulled up on the shingles and broke several. I called Tim Niles and he sent his men out and they replaced the broken shingles at no cost to me. I highly recommend Titan Construction."

"Very happy with the outcome. We were dreading this job as we have extensive plantings around the entire perimeter of our home. A tear-off and roof replacement is by definition a very messy job. The crew did a great job protecting and respecting our numerous plantings -- thus we had minimal damage. They spent significant extra effort to haul all the debris across the roof to small landing spot in front. Not the cheapest bid but we are happy we went with this boutique roofing -- quality materials and crew"

"My husband and I hired Danny with MDD Exteriors to replace the roof at our Arlington Heights home. Danny and the crew were on time, professional and clean. They did a great job on our roof and we will definitely recommend MDD to our friends and family."

"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!"

"Working with RK Roofing was a very good experience. The owner, Jerry is very responsive and respectful. Returned all the phone calls promptly. Asked only for a small deposit on a roof replacement and once the contract was signed and deposit was given we were given a project start date. The start date was only missed by one day due to weather. The owner has his own employees. He does not sub contracts the work. The workers were very diligent and professional. Work was done in 2 days. No issues so far. Nothing blew away. No leaks. The workers have a great working relationship, it is a father and son-in-law team. They take pride in their work. There were couple things that were not planned for such as a few new vents and a new chimney, but we are glad we decided to follow the recommendations because if you decide to invest in a new roof, you should do it right so you don't have to worry about replacing a chimney or ventilation later. What we really enjoyed is the service, quality of workmanship and quality of materials. Our reason for choosing rk roofing were all the positive reviews on angie's list and we were not disappointed. We also enjoyed the fact that we received an invoice electronically and were not hassled to make the payment right away. We paid the bill in full promptly, but it was nice to have that extra breathing room to think about the job and look at everything."

"The project went well from the beginning. John (owner) sat down with us, provided background about himself and the business as well as product details and options. The roof was completed in one day, gutters another. The site was cleaned up very well. We're happy with the work and would recommend EDI to others."

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