"They certainly exceeded my expectations. After they power washed the buildings, they meticulously covered all the windows, and taped/covered any vent or object protruding from the buildings. They even removed all the downspouts. While replacing some wood was part of the job, they identified, and replaced wood that I didn't know was bad. When they were done the only things left were a sparkling house and barn; no other indication that they were there. They should be the first company that you call."

"We were in need of having our gutters, downspouts, and roof valleys cleaned out. They arrived within a week of our initial contact. The job was completed quickly and they let us know exactly what they found and resolved. I would recommend this company."

"Okay. No complaint; however, had a different contractor replace the back gutter at the same time. APEX price, gutter only, was $277. This was for half the gutter, which included multiple seams, plus there was an additional charge for cleanup. Other contractor replaced the entire back gutter, no seams, for $249, and there was no additional charge for cleanup. I report; you decide."

"Quoted a roof repair, was professional and in line with other bids. Ended up going with someone else who saw roof and siding hail damage - and the insurance adjuster agreed. There was just more to it than a roof repair which wasnâ t caught in the drone footage."

"All-American Restoration is hands-down the best company I have ever used for roofing. Brad is an amazing person and treats his customers with respect. We used him a few years ago to roof our house when we were selling it and found out in the inspection it had hail damage. The timing for the work was critical because were also moving to a new house and needed it done fast. His crew was out literally the next day and had it done the same day. We also used him to repair our existing roof due to some wind damage. He worked me in the schedule and fixed it before rain was expected. If it would have rained before the repair, it would have been catastrophic. His prices are very competitive. He is a good person and will treat you right! I HIGHLY recommend him."

"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!!!"

"Perfect. It was a 90’ plus day so they started at 6am. David showed up 30 min before his crew with a large case of Gatorade for them. His crew never stopped working. Very polite. My insurance only replaced what needed fixed for hail damage. He went above and beyond and upgraded my roof to ridge vents and replaced as many deck boards as I needed with my insurance check. David was a very polite and professional through the whole process. The clean up was unbelievable. My yard and landscape was a mess. By the time they were done, I couldn’t find a single roofing nail!! I plan on building a house in the near future and I want him installing the roof. Extremely happy with choosing Indy Legacy Builders. I will refer them to everyone I know."

"Indy Rooftops were fantastic through the entire process of replacing my roof, skylight, gutters and refacing my chimney. The were professional, transparent, friendly and produced a great finished product. They worked with my insurance company so I didn't have to go through that headache. I will be using them for all of my projects going forward. Good people and great work."

"I am very satisfied with the final product - the roof looks great! The customer service was excellent also - there was some minor landscaping damage that occurred during the tear-off of the old roof that Cornett was able to resolve to my satisfaction. I would absolutely recommend Cornett Roofing Systems."

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