"Found a spot of water on ceiling of my daughters room and called Jacob's roofing to repair roof. He showed up right away the next morning and took some tar on the roof and put it under a few shingles where the leak was and fixed the problem. He was on the roof approximately five minutes and charged $145 and only used a little bit of tar as far as materials were concerned. The bottom line is 5 minutes of labor and tar equaled $145 which I thought was a little steep although he did fix the problem.

"Jim Curry and Kevin were punctual and helpful. Price was a bit over what I think the job should have been done for, but to expedite the job prior to the rainy season, we had them do it, and it was done when they said they would. I can not vouch for the quality of the shingle job, but I assume they did it correctly- we shall see in the coming months of rains... the flat roof I was not happy with, though. The original quote was to pressure wash the roof, then install 3 coats of the rubberized coating. I saw the installer on the roof, and it was not pressure washed. Jim said that it was due to the fact that there were all these little pieces sticking up, which I assumed would be removed by the pressure washing. Jim said that they were part of the underlay, and to pressure wash them would be a problem; I agreed, but this should have been brought up prior to quoting the job so that we could have come up with another solution. Now I have a roof that may be waterproof, but will catch all the dirt in these little crevices that have been permanently imbedded in the rubber. Also, they were only going to put one coat on, when the quote said 3 coats; when I mentioned this, Kevin said that he would come back the next day, and put on a second coat, which he did. The third coat was not done- they assured me that only 1 coat was needed, but put the second coat on anyway, which is probably true. My only problem with them is the discrepancy between what they quoted and what was done, hence the B for quality and professionalism- time will tell if either roof leaks. I would definitely use them again, but would talk a bit more about what was to be done, and how they intended to do the job."

"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."

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