"Bo Saunders had helped me with a small repair project on a metal roof, so I called him when I needed a new roof on our home. He is friendly and quick. I did end up getting two other prices which were very competitive, but decided on Quality Roofing at a slightly higher price due to their reputation and Bo's approach. My interaction with customer service before installation day went well. I needed to fill out some paperwork to get things started and to support the building permit. Everyone I dealt with was friendly and helpful. Prior to material's delivery, I received a text message and an email letting me know when to expect the materials. There was some little supplier issue, so the day needed to be moved, but I received a phone call first to make sure it was not a problem. The delivery a day later was still a couple of days before the day the roof was to be replaced. On roof replacement day, the team arrived just when I expected them. They first brought the trailer which would be used to haul off the old roofing materials. Before parking it, they checked with me to make sure the location was good. Once the crew started they were very fast and efficient. While I was watching outside, one member of the team spoke to me to make sure I did not have any questions. Very polite young man. Our house is small, so there were easily able to finish in one day. They removed the coverings they had placed around the house to catch debris and cleaned up all little pieces of shingle and paper around the yard. They used a blower to blow off the decks. Overall, the clean up ended up being much more complete than I expected. Replacing a roof produces a lot of trash. They went above and beyond to return our yard to its previous condition, perhaps even cleaner. The roof itself looks great. We are very pleased with the color we selected, but the installation job is also excellent. They replaced the drip flashing around the house and it is nice and smooth with clean seams. I could not be more pleased with the services provided by Quality Roofing."

"February 5, 2019 - I can not say enough about how honest and thorough this company has been while replacing my roof. They made the process as painless as possible for me as a homeowner. Their work was impeccable, going above and beyond what was required to just replace my roof. While replacing my roof, these guys took extra time to make sure that a complicated area of my roof was properly sealed and flashed to eliminate any future issues. I can only attest to my experience with H. E. Roberts Roofing but would recommend that if you want quality work, honest people to deal with, and the least amount of stress in replacing or repairing your roof, call them. Their crew did a better job then the original roofers did when the house was built."

"Liz was very good personable and took care of us. I was not getting answers from the insurance agent or the adjusters and was like a lost kid in the crowd. Liz was able to break down how everything worked and made a complicated process easy. She took care of my family and home. She was fantastic no matter what arose."

"Everything that Local Roofing Company did on roofing and gutters deserves an Excellent rating! I am so fortunate to have learned about this company and to have had them take care of my roof repairs and replace my gutters. I was so impressed with everything in the process from the start with discussing the work needed to the end with their completion of the work. Everyone was very professional and hard working, from the owner, Sam, to all his employees. I have a great comfort level and complete trust in their workmanship and have great appreciation for the work they did. I will call on Local Roofing Company again and I highly recommend them should anyone have similar needs. I can’t say enough about how happy I am to have learned about this company and I can confidently very highly recommend their services."

"They did a very good job with the roof and the addition that came off the house and covered the deck. The only reason I gave them a B rating for quality instead of an A has to do with the finishing touches on the addition. All around the house the soffit fascia is covered in white sheet metal. When they finished the addition, which follows the roof line of the back of the house. They left it with bare, untreated wood. They don't use treated lumber because it reacts with the metal roofing and some corrosion may result. That's fine, but they should have at least covered it so that it tied in with the rest of the roof line. As we did our final inspection, I asked about the wood being treated and he explained why they don't use it. I said " so I guess I'll have to cover it?" He said that I would. I was leaving town on business in a couple days and had a lot going on, so I guess I just didn't think to put my foot down and insist they do it. Here in Mobile, Alabama we are the wettest city in the nation. We get more annual rainfall than Seattle, and it's humid. Wood rot happens.I went and bought some Thompson's Water Seal, and some sheet metal and took care of it myself. I have some pictures, but I don't see how to post them on this review page. The workers were very polite and cleaned up very well each day.

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