"We were given complete information and written material about what would be done. The crew was efficient and careful in removing old shingles, putting on new shingles and cleaning up afterward. AJ's were also recommended by our insurance claims adjuster."

"I cannot rave enough about Blue Ladder! Everyone from Austin to Ryan to the work crew were extremely professional and very responsive! We had storm damage that caused us to have a portion of our roof replaced AND siding and downspouts replaced. Ryan sat with me while I contacted the insurance company and helped me through the process. He and the team handled a lot of the back and forth with the insurance company and the mortgage company. Ryan even stopped by a few times to check that the temporary covers were still protecting our house, so we had coffee together! Oh and their selection of shingles and siding are great! They have so many options at great prices! If you need help repairing or updating the look of your home, you HAVE to give them a call! Thank you Blue Ladder!!!"

"Mr. Reynolds came out the SAME DAY that I called, a Saturday.  It was a day of heavy rain and flooding (and therefore the leaks in the roof revealed themselves).  He had to drive far out of his way to get to me because of the flooding in his rural area, but he made it.  I was very grateful because my home was on the market, and I was fretting over the time and cost of roof repairs.  Mr. Reynolds checked out the roof and gave me a reasonable estimate that day; he honored the Angie's List coupon I had.  
I owned half a duplex, and he looked at my neighbors' side as well.  Their side also had soil pipes that needed to be replaced.  The neighbors half was also on the market.  Mr. Reynolds felt an inspector would cite the need for repairs.  I was able to let my neighbor know of the situation so he could check for leaks and not have an unpleasant surprise in his house during showings.
The repairs were completed a few days later.  PSR made the extremely inconvenient and untimely situation as painless as possible.

"**UPDATE: Just yesterday (a day or two after I submitted the review below), we noticed that Barrier had come out and replaced the trim with the correct color. I don't know when they came to do this, as we received no notifications that they were coming/had been there. We're pleased that this finally got done and hope that any possible future projects with Barrier go smoother. 

The work on the window replacement was fine, but they put the wrong color trim on the exterior window framing. The install crew didn't bother to let my husband know (who was home at the time of the work) that they were finished, and rather than letting him know so he could check their work and make sure it was done correctly, they just left. We contacted Neil Masten a couple of days later via phone to let him know that the trim color was wrong, and he indicated they'd have to special order the correct color trim. He indicated it would take a few weeks but as soon as it came in, they'd send someone out to fix it. Well it's been a few months, and after one follow up call initiated by myself that was answered (I was told they were still waiting on the trim to be delivered) and another call that was again initiated by me and has now gone unanswered for 2 weeks, we are still waiting for the trim to get fixed. They have our money already because we bought the services through the Angies List Big Deal, so getting paid is not a motivating factor for them to complete the work."

"My satisfaction with Thermal Window and Siding began with a quote provided by George at the time of our initial consultation. We had received estimates from several highly rated Angie's List window and siding companies for a Pella Proline 3-light casement window. In addition to the new window, we were interested in having siding replaced on the front of the house. The other window companies quoted a fixed/open/fixed window configuration as any additional open windows would incur an extra fee for the requisite hardware. The Thermal Window & Siding estimate included an open/fixed/open window configuration and was cheaper than any of the other estimates (more than a thousand dollars cheaper than one of the estimates)! Similarly, the siding work was more affordable than any of the other estimates.
Shortly after engaging TW&S for the work, we discovered an ant colony residing in the existing window. As part of the ant colony removal process, my husband decided to open up the window seat beneath the window to check for any moisture therein. Oh what an unpleasant surprise! Rotted 2 x 4s and flooring! Nick (the window installer expert) came over and provided an estimate to repair the window seat for $625. Not bad for the amount of reconstruction that was required.
When the new window arrived, Nick and his father installed the window AND repaired the window seat all in one day! The work area was left in excellent condition with the window seat and window trim installed beautifully. My only disappointment with the new window was that the exterior trim didn't match the style of our existing windows. At no extra cost, TW&S purchased brick window trim and the window crew returned to install the molding being careful to get everything sealed back up as it had been before.
A separate crew came out another day to do the siding work. Our job included what I'm told is 3rd story work along with many angled cuts due to the location of the siding replacement. The 3 person crew worked all day replacing cedar bird boxes and removing damaged cedar and replacing it with Hardy board. They were careful to make sure the corner where the replaced boards met existing cedar boards lined up. Our original cedar siding was resting directly on the roof which increased the weathering of the boards. The new installation was done with the siding off of the roof with an attractive trim piece added. I am SO pleased with both the window and siding work! I will definitely call upon TW&S when I need another window and/or siding job!"

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