"I had a great experience with Midwest Home Exteriors from start to finish! The owner, James, and the office staff were incredibly easy to work with during the entire process of getting a new roof and gutters. They worked closely with my insurance agent, the crews and I to make this process run very smoothly. The whole process was fast and hassle-free, and the finished roof and gutters look incredible. I highly recommend them to anyone needing quality work done on their home!"

"I saw their notice regarding free estimate for attic insulation at the  Home/Garden show.  I left my information and they contacted me about a week or two later.  We scheduled an appointment.   Jason came out and inspected everything, we discussed options and he gave me estimates for both.  I was going to be out of town for a while and he said he would extend the home show discount until after i got back.  I scheduled the installation with Tina - she checked back with me (both email and phone).   John and Nick showed up a little late on the install day, as their previous job ran longer than expected.  Both Nick and John were very professional and personable.  They explained what they were going to do and let me view the work in progress, as i was curious.  They answered all my questions and did a great job in cleanup - even vacuuming the grass :).   I am pleased with the work and am looking forward to the savings the added insulation will provide."

"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"

"Due to the age of my roof, I decided to be proactive by seeking bids from contractors through Angie's List/Home Advisor. Guardian contacted me, and I set an appt. with the rep, Sonny Shah. He inspected the roof and told me that I did not need a new roof, that there were very serviceable years left. He offered his advice on keeping or replacement of rain gutters & leaf-guards, and general comments on treating tree sap on the shingles. I was certainly pleasantly surprised by his comments, and absolutely impressed with his honest appraisal, even while recognizing that this would eliminate my immediate roofing purchase. So, although I did not use this business at this time, I will certainly give Guardian/ Sonny Shah a call as soon as the need does arise!"

"Israel is very friendly and customer service oriented. He makes sure that you are in the loop throughout the process from decision-making to final satisfaction. The roofing job of a full two-story house and separate garage, as well as replacement of some rotted wood boards, was completed in just one day. The roof looks great and the company was responsive, punctual, and efficient. I had one concern that I found a few weeks after the install, and they were happy to come back and fix it for me quickly, at no charge! I would definitely hire again."

"On Saturday I noticed a leak in my home and assumed it was from a leak in my roof because I could not find the source for the water anywhere.  I left a me a message on their machine and received a call back within an hour.  Ken scheduled an appointment with me at 3:00 p.m. the very next day.  Ken arrived a few minutes early, inspected my roof and asked to see the leak in my home.  Upon inspection Ken was able to see that the water was coming from a crack in the grout line in a shower.  Ken felt my roof was in good shape but could use a cleaning to remove moss as well as having a few cedar shingles nailed down.  He gave me the names of reputable people to call and was on his way.  No charge! Based on the other reviews for Lefever I will not hesitate to call them when I have a real roof issue.

FAQs for natural slate roofing installation and replacement projects in Wauwatosa, WI

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.
