"Estimate provided was excellent. Estimator even went so far as to check house to insure that no leaks were present - thus, there was no immediate hurry to re-roof. Roof crew was great and worked so hard that re-roofing was completed in 3 days. (My home is about 2300 sg ft which includes 2 attached garages - one at each end of house.) Job included replacement of 6 damaged plywood roof panels plus construction of cricket to divert rain water from damaged roof area just behind fireplace chimney. Roofers also caulked small holes in fascia and reinstalled some sagging soffit. No extra charge was incurred for cricket, caulking, and soffit work. As per the contract, 2 roof panels were included. Thus, I had to pay for 4 of the panels at $65/each. Very fair! After re-roofing, new gutters, downspouts, and perforated aluminum gutter screens were installed. Web search served to indicate that perforated aluminum gutter screens are the best and longest-lasting. Thus, in my estimation, I got a top quality job at a very fair price and, consequently, would highly recommend Worthmann Roofing to anyone. In fact, owing to this, a nearby friend has already opted to employ Worthmann for roof work."

"They repaired damage to our roof caused by Hurricane Michael. As you can imagine it was a busy time for them. They did an excellent job and inspected it after the recent heavy rains. The owner, Don Johnson inspected how the repairs were working and took photos of the repairs. He saw some unrelated issues with a seal in our air conditioning system. He then fixed that free of charge. The price was very reasonable and they were very responsive."

"Jackie and Dave were great to work with throughout the process. Leading up to getting the new roof installed, we had a crazy storm rip through. I reached out to Jackie and she rallied the troops (while she was on vacation!!) and got someone from her team to rush over and caulk a compromised spot on the roof, which kept us dry until the new roof was put on. I can’t say enough great things about the whole team!"

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