"Actual roofing work well done but for Roofing Teamwork ethics need attention to get better rating. Roof work done during winter months with shorter days starts when warmer and makes for shorter work hours. Be ready to do self-tidy up around house after workers leave if not at a new building project. Company sales service is better than others but needs improvement in communications throughout with customer/client relations. Be specific about Roofing Team members using non-team equipment and/or moving non-team items without permission. Also clean-up of non-team items before roofing team leaves location. When lunch time arrives, ensure all roofing team members leave location to go and get lunch which includes using lunch facility restroom, if needed, before returning work site to continue roof work. Overall, Roofing Teams work was fast. Now to await results of the Inspection Department representative."

"David Keefe roofing far exceeded my expectations. Communication with David was easy and frequent. Very informative and provided information and wind mitigation upon completion. My roof needed several upgrades to maximize the insurance credits and David and his crew took care of all of them for me. Crew was very clean and efficient. They finished my roof in 2 1/2 days while dealing with afternoon rain storms. Kyle and Jason were great as well. What was quoted to me was the price of the roof. The roof looks great and I would highly recommend David Keefe Roofing."

"The contract session was with Stephan Boyer. He was very through and informative. We knew exactly what we were getting and what to expect. Chris Renda and his crew showed up as promised. They showed up with all materials and immediately started work. The crew took no breaks and barely took time for lunch.. Chris Renda kept us infomed of everything going on.He found that our dormers had not been wrapped or waterproofed so he removed all the siding and began wrapping and waterproofing the dormers for us! The crew took 5 days of hard nonstop work installing our beautiful new patina green metal roof. We are completely satisfied! !

"The representative responded to my request very quickly and gave me an estimate for replacing my roof that very day. He seemed very thorough and very knowledgeable and pleasant. I have not yet done the work. I have very favorable reviews from the friends that have used his services.

"10 ⭠︠Review When all seemed lost as a result of the devastating Hurricane Michael, my Knights in shining armor are Art⠠s Construction. Here are the three (3) reasons for this statement: 1. Hurricane Michael took the roofs of both condos in Panama City - There were many roofers that I contacted who were too busy to even answer my call or were quoting prices that were unaffordable. In fact, it cost $$$$$ just to ⠠tarp⠠the hole in the roof. At that point, I was ready to ⠠throw in the towel⠠. However, not one to give up too easily, I made one more call. That call was to Art⠠s Construction. Sheila Wambo answered and said, ⠠Art⠠s Construction, how can I help you⠠. The words I was hoping to hear and believe. So, long story short, both condos received a fabulous new roof for a very fair price within days of that phone call. My heroes! 3. As a landlord, I had to accept the repair priority of full-time families being number one, so I waited 2 1/2 years for the next extensive list of repairs. I hired many different contractors, all who made many promises but found ⠠difficulty⠠with keeping those promises. It was as if I were a Priest or Psychologist listening to all of their tales of woe. All while making payments hoping for some promised outcome, but never quite getting the results that were promised. Then, as I was, again, about to abandon any hope of providing a tenant a home this year, there was another storm. So, another roofing repair was needed for one of the condos. I contacted Art⠠s Construction. Sheila answered the phone and said, ⠠Art⠠s Construction, how can I help you⠠. Art⠠s Construction came through with the kind of exemplary response and performance. They repaired everything within a few days. This result prompted my question, Sheila, does your company handle any kind of repair/renovations? She responded with, ⠠yes, we do⠠. Music to my ears. 4. Waiting 2 1/2 years for repairs took its toll. Not to mention all the ⠠patchy⠠repair work completed by many different contractors. Art⠠s Construction stepped in and provided me the whole, honest truth. Sheila assigned David Barlup, as the Project Manager to address the ⠠challenges⠠. David and I hit it off right away. He gave me the confidence and trust that I craved. He outlined the whole repair plan and was very forthright and forthcoming with his ideas and recommended updates, repairs, renewal, and schedule for completion. Once we came to agreement, David assigned Mr Gerald Simmons to one of the major taskings, i.e., installing a brand new kitchen and replacing both bathroom vanities. Long story short, David and Mr Simmons took the bull by the horns and have accomplished everything on time and within budget. We went from ⠠Homeless shanty⠠to beautiful condo available for rent within two (2) weeks. Whatever your home improvement needs are call Art⠠s Construction! From a very satisfied and extremely happy client!"

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