How long does a slate roof last?

A high-quality natural slate roof can last between 75 to 100 years, and in some cases, even longer. It is often referred to as a 'forever roof' because it can outlast the building itself if properly maintained.

Is my house strong enough for a slate roof?

Natural slate is significantly heavier than asphalt shingles. Before installation, it is essential to have a structural assessment. If your home's framing isn't built to support the weight, we may recommend structural reinforcement or high-quality synthetic slate alternatives.

What is the difference between natural slate and synthetic slate?

Natural slate is quarried stone, offering unmatched longevity and beauty. Synthetic slate, made from engineered polymers or rubber, mimics the look of stone but is lighter, more impact-resistant, and often more affordable.

How much does a slate roof cost in Indianapolis?

Slate roofing is a premium investment. While costs vary based on the roof's complexity and the type of slate chosen, homeowners can generally expect to pay significantly more than traditional shingles due to the material's durability and specialized labor required.

Very professional, great communicators and overall great to work with.  Thanks to Austin who was our salesman, to Michael in production and the actual crew who did the roof for an exceptional experience.  Thanks too to the office staff who we were in contact with, pleasant, professional and caring.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We got several estimates. However, we wanted local roofers. We chose Rojas. We were not disappointed. These folks were phenomenal. Hard working, focused on detail and safety, these roofers impressed me.
I have a background in construction and know how difficult this job was. We have a 12-12 pitch roof with 4 valleys. Full tear off and clean up in 1 day.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I gave a 5 star review because Rojas the whole team was great from start to finish, they treated me like family starting with Larry the sales agent to Micheal the production Mananger and the owner who came out, who I met personally and Louise one of the production crew who said and I quote ( we want to do a good job for our customers) the team cleaned up after themselves and put everything back, I was really impressed, Larry your a good sales agent you didn’t give up on me when I was dragging my feet, good job. May God bless this company and I see great things ahead. Brian

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Rojas did my roof (including building a pyramidal hip roof on top of an existing flat roof), gutters, fiber cement siding, and painting. Everything was done very well and professionally and priced very well! Of course there were some minor hiccups along the way with some occasional miscommunications how I wanted things done, as is common with any large renovation project, but everything was taken care of in a timely fashion and the end product was exactly as I had envisioned it. Thanks team Rojas!!!
