"PRO's 1) Returned my call same day as inquiry. 2) Visited my property next day. 3) Called me from my property with quote. 4) Roof was installed two days later. 5) Was willing to take over when another roofing contractor left us high-and-dry. CON's 1) I have to dig deep for a con. The price for labor was higher than we had anticipated, but we needed the roof installed before the first snowstorm hit. We were really happy with the service we received from Mike and we would gladly recommend them to our friends & family."

"We contacted Severin to see if he could do a bid and he came to our place, some distance away, the next day. He gave us an estimate for all the work we needed which was not unreasonable. Two of our outbuildings are on a steep hill at lake level. He said "no problem". He put us on his schedule for mid August. The last week of July we received a call saying he would start the following week. They completed the job in 3 days. The new metal roofs are beautiful. They cleaned up and removed every bit of mess!"

"Could not be happier. Greg and Eddie were knowledgeable and professional and courteous. Eddie handled all the liaison with my recalcitrant insurer. The workers were courteous, prompt, reliable and professional. All in all, a stress free project as soon as Chismar came on board. Looking forward to working with them on any future projects!"

FAQs for wood shake or composite roofing installation and replacement projects in Aitkin, MN

Cedar shakes and wood shingles might seem similar, but they have some important differences. Cedar shakes are hand-split, giving them a unique, textured appearance that adds rustic charm to your roof. They're great for homeowners who want a distinctive look. Wood shingles, conversely, are machine-made, providing a smooth, uniform appearance for a more modern look. Shakes tend to be more expensive due to the craftsmanship involved but offer exceptional beauty and resilience.

A well-maintained cedar shake roof can last up to 60 years. However, factors like severe weather and improper ventilation can reduce its lifespan. You should consider replacing your roof if you notice persistent leaks, visible water damage, curling or splitting shakes, moss growth, rot, or missing shakes. Regular inspections can help you determine when it's time for a replacement.

When hiring a roofing contractor for your cedar shake roof, asking the right questions is important. Make sure they are fully certified and have extensive experience with cedar installations. Verify that their team is licensed, bonded, and insured. Ask for details about the materials they use, such as the type of underlayment and fasteners, and how they ensure proper ventilation. Getting multiple written estimates can help you compare options and choose a contractor who offers quality workmanship at a fair price.
