"On or about 11/3/2021 I entered into and executed a contract with Clyde Johnson Contracting & Roofing, Inc., to install a new roof on my 91 year old mother's home. The first installment was paid on 11/15/21 to Clyde Johnson Contracting & Roofing, Inc. They begin working on the roof on 2/8/22 and advised the work was completed 2 days later on 2/10/22. Upon my inspection of the completed work the job was not completed correctly per the contract. They also forged her signature on documents to obtain a completed inspection from the inspectors for the City of South Bay. Which is now preventing my now 93 year old mother from ascertaining homeowners insurance. I reached out to advise the work was not completed per the contract entered into. I spoke to both Tim and Titus Johnson to resolve this issue. At that time both agreed to fix the roof correctly per the contract, to date nothing has been done to correct their breach of contract. No one has reached out to me since to correct this, however I am receiving bills from them. I even filed a Complaint with DBPR to resolve this matter and this company lied and said the job was completed correctly, when in actuality it was not. This company took advantage of a 93 year old woman and refuses to correct their wrong doing. Her home is unable to be insured at this time due to their lack of professionalism. I have reached out through other resources to try and get this resolved without court action, however I have been unsuccessful. This company needs to finish the job correctly per the contract, so that my mother can obtain homeowners insurance."

"My mother hired Comfort Cover Systems to replace the roof on her home in Sarasota after Hurricane Milton. While the roof replacement itself was completed, their workers caused significant damage to the lanai carport roof by walking on it, which resulted in buckling and structural issues. Instead of taking responsibility for their actions, the company has repeatedly tried to downplay the damage and shift the cost of repairs onto my mother, a senior citizen. Despite multiple follow-ups and visits from their representatives, their proposed "solution" is completely inadequate. They cut off protruding screws and offered to paint over the damage, but this does nothing to fix the underlying structural issues or the buckling they caused. To make matters worse, their response tried to blame the lanai’s condition on pre-existing wear and tear from the hurricane, even though the damage was clearly caused by their workers during installation. This attempt to avoid accountability is both insulting and unprofessional. When we informed them that we would withhold the final $12,000 payment until the damage was resolved, they responded with vague promises but no real action plan to repair the roof. They also made communication unnecessarily difficult by asking who the "decision-maker" was, despite being told multiple times that all correspondence would go through me and my mother. A reputable company would stand behind their work and resolve such issues promptly, but that has not been the case here. I strongly urge anyone considering Comfort Cover Systems Inc. to look elsewhere. If they damage your property, you can expect excuses, deflection, and an unwillingness to take responsibility. My family is now left with no choice but to escalate this matter to the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation and the Florida Roofing and Sheet Metal Contractors Association. Save yourself the frustration and find a company that values its customers and takes pride in doing the right thing."

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