"Russ Dal Bianco came to my home and provided me with an estimate. He explained everything his crew would be doing in detail. Now I received 3 others estimates from contractors off Angie's List. As was the case with this company, they also had the Superior Service Award distinction. Not only did Dal Bianco Roofing have the best price, but I wasn't charged for some extras the other companies wanted to charge me for. For deteriorated or rotted wood, the other companies were going to charge either a specified amount per foot or per sheet. Russ did not. 2 of the other 3 companies were going to charge a 3% surcharge for using a credit card. Russ did not. Russ also took the initiative to install some new additional vents where needed. The biggest seller for me though was I forgot to tell Russ (prior to him giving me the estimate ) I was an Angie's List member so that I could receive the Angie's List discount. When I later called to inform him of this, he could have very well told me it was already included in the estimated price. He did not. He told me he would take it off when I made the payment. He did. That spoke to his character, and that was all that I needed. The roof looks great. Everything went perfect. The crew was punctual. They cleaned up everything when they finished. I have no complaints at all."

"Juan C Upon finding a few shingles on the ground near my home caused by strong prevailing wind, I contacted Roger's Roofing. The estimating person Brogan, visited and thoroughly inspected my entire roof. Brogan reviewed his inspection and assisted in showing me the issues he discovered. He also recommended a roof replacement that would last much longer than a repair. He provided some samples of roofing materials. We discussed some options to serve my needs as well as some financing choices. In summary I am counting on and looking forward to having Roger's Roofing solve my roofing requirements."

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