"Let me save you some time! I recommend John Scott Roofing 100% hands I asked 10 roofing contractors to come out and give me a price on Owens Coring Duration Designer with peel/stick water barrier. 1-John Scott does his own estimates and goes over all the points needed for a successful roof replacement, prep, warranty and answers all questions, no pressure. ***THIS INCLUDES the signed statement he has paid for materials. WHAT THIS MEANS you will not get a lien on the products installed if the roof company fails to pay for their materials. 2-No down payment and uses their own license and the installers were professional, and cleaned up every nail. 3-Price was the lowest even with a premium product. JS did not charge extra for the premium product either. 10 estimates: John Scott was the lowest, the second closest came in $600 more. The rest $3000-$9,000 MORE FOR THE SAME PRODUCT Be patient, he is booked! The office team was incredible! I cannot say enough about John Scott Roofing!"

"We worked with Roman Roofing in 2019 when they installed a new metal roof on our house on Fort Myers Beach, Florida. They were excellent to work with, very attentive and helpful, and we were extremely satisfied with the final results and the fair price. A large project like that has its challenges, but they worked hard to meet them to our satisfaction. I would not hesitate to hire them again or recommend them to others."

"I can’t say enough positive things about my experience with Total Home Roofing. In January I found out that my Wind Storm coverage would be dropped unless I installed a new flat roof on my back porch by April 1. I researched on Angie’s List, Yelp, etc. and found several companies that were highly recommended, including Total Home Roofing. I ended up getting a few quotes that were similar to the quote I received from Total Home, but the reason I chose them was their professionalism. Several of these ‘highly recommended’ roofers never returned phone calls or emails, another cancelled his first appointment then was a no show for a second, and yet another never called back with an estimate, despite a very lengthy and professional initial phone call. Total Home Roofing, on the other hand, was incredibly professional from the start. They immediately returned texts and phone calls, and all of their in-person appointments were scheduled for specific times, not “I’ll be there sometime between 1 PM and 5 PM.” They were always on time and called a few hours in advance to confirm appointments. It was this professionalism that tilted my decision in their favor, and boy did it pay off. My roof was scheduled to be installed on March 30, but Florida began shutting down non-essential services due to Covid-19 the week of March 23. My anxiety about meeting the April 1 deadline shot through the roof. But the team at Total Home Roofing went out of their way to help me with this time crunch. They sent out extra workers to speed up the install and worked diligently with my local inspectors to make sure they signed off on each day’s work so they could proceed to the next step. In the end Total Home met these deadlines, the inspectors came out and approved on time, and my Wind Storm policy was renewed. I had a great experience with Total Home Roofing, from my first phone call to the final interactions with local inspectors, all while Florida was under incredible stress from the beginning of the Coronavirus outbreak. Craig, Carlos, Gibrand and all the ladies in the office (sorry, I forgot to get their names) went above and beyond. They went out of their way to be kind, helpful and professional. I can’t thank them enough and highly recommend them."

Jim Hernandez, the owner came and gave me the estimate and was also present to supervise the job during the two days it took to complete. That was an important factor that I wanted, to insure a good job, and not leave the details to his workers.  Jim was very friendly and presented himself in a professional manner.  It was a pleasure working with him. He even came to the house on a Sunday to work out the details of the contract.  He was also very concerned with the weather and kept us posted of the conditions as to when he should start the job.  

I wanted to make sure that the roofing contractor that I used was fully insured including workers compensation on his employees, and Good Neighbor Roofing had all that.  I would highly recommend this company to anyone that wanted a good job at a fair price.

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