"Rep. checked entire system. He found several wires not connected properly and fixed this. He also made recommendations regarding the attachment of the panels to the rood that would provide more stability and leakproofing. The representative appeared to know what he was doing - much better than others, including the representative who was engaged by the roofer (who replaced our rood due to hail damage) to disconnect/connect the panels."

"10 ⭠︠Review When all seemed lost as a result of the devastating Hurricane Michael, my Knights in shining armor are Art⠠s Construction. Here are the three (3) reasons for this statement: 1. Hurricane Michael took the roofs of both condos in Panama City - There were many roofers that I contacted who were too busy to even answer my call or were quoting prices that were unaffordable. In fact, it cost $$$$$ just to ⠠tarp⠠the hole in the roof. At that point, I was ready to ⠠throw in the towel⠠. However, not one to give up too easily, I made one more call. That call was to Art⠠s Construction. Sheila Wambo answered and said, ⠠Art⠠s Construction, how can I help you⠠. The words I was hoping to hear and believe. So, long story short, both condos received a fabulous new roof for a very fair price within days of that phone call. My heroes! 3. As a landlord, I had to accept the repair priority of full-time families being number one, so I waited 2 1/2 years for the next extensive list of repairs. I hired many different contractors, all who made many promises but found ⠠difficulty⠠with keeping those promises. It was as if I were a Priest or Psychologist listening to all of their tales of woe. All while making payments hoping for some promised outcome, but never quite getting the results that were promised. Then, as I was, again, about to abandon any hope of providing a tenant a home this year, there was another storm. So, another roofing repair was needed for one of the condos. I contacted Art⠠s Construction. Sheila answered the phone and said, ⠠Art⠠s Construction, how can I help you⠠. Art⠠s Construction came through with the kind of exemplary response and performance. They repaired everything within a few days. This result prompted my question, Sheila, does your company handle any kind of repair/renovations? She responded with, ⠠yes, we do⠠. Music to my ears. 4. Waiting 2 1/2 years for repairs took its toll. Not to mention all the ⠠patchy⠠repair work completed by many different contractors. Art⠠s Construction stepped in and provided me the whole, honest truth. Sheila assigned David Barlup, as the Project Manager to address the ⠠challenges⠠. David and I hit it off right away. He gave me the confidence and trust that I craved. He outlined the whole repair plan and was very forthright and forthcoming with his ideas and recommended updates, repairs, renewal, and schedule for completion. Once we came to agreement, David assigned Mr Gerald Simmons to one of the major taskings, i.e., installing a brand new kitchen and replacing both bathroom vanities. Long story short, David and Mr Simmons took the bull by the horns and have accomplished everything on time and within budget. We went from ⠠Homeless shanty⠠to beautiful condo available for rent within two (2) weeks. Whatever your home improvement needs are call Art⠠s Construction! From a very satisfied and extremely happy client!"

FAQs for natural slate roofing installation and replacement projects in Alford, FL

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.
