"Joe Lombardo/ NML Roofing did an excellent job replacing our roof. His price was better than the other 3 companies that quoted the project but most importantly, he and his crew did a high quality job! I liked the fact that Joe, the owner of the company, personally quoted the project and then was on site when his crew performed the work. There was no miscommunication or forgotten contractual items. The crew worked incredibly hard and had the old roof torn off and re-shingled in one long day. They also did a very thorough cleanup when done. I don't think I found one nail on the ground anywhere in the weeks following their work. Joe was super easy to deal with and delivered on every promise made. Here is an example of the kind of guy Joe is: While doing a final walkdown I noticed a downspout elbow between my first and second floor roof was missing. Joe's crew searched for it but could not find it. Joe committed to replacing it. Now, I assumed that would not actually happen and it's like a $3 item at Lowes so I just replaced it myself the next day. Sure enough, a day or two later Joe called to tell me he was ready to send his crew over to replace the elbow that evening. That just confirmed for me that I made the right choice by having NML do my roof replacement."

"Superbly! Excellent responsiveness via phone and email to arrange a small leak repair 1 year ago and installation of a new metal roof recently. Meticulous attention to detail for the new installation; hard-working, very pleasant crew for the multi-day project."

"I recently had David replace the roof on my sunroom, shed, and wood storage, and I couldnâ t be happier with the results. My sunroom had a leak, and David responded promptly with a very reasonable quote. He not only replaced all the shingles but also installed brand-new gutters and guards. What impressed me most was the attention to detail. He made sure to protect my deck and chimney cap throughout the process and cleaned up all the debris afterward. The communication was excellentâ David was always quick to respond to any questions I had. I highly recommend his services if youâ re looking for quality work at a great price!"

"In June, 2017 Perfection Roofing took a day and half to remove our 30 year old roof and replace it new, beautiful blue and gray asphalt singles on both the home and garage. A rubber roof was replaced on the back of the home, too. Also, they installed an anti-bird guard on the chimney and replace the base of chimney flashing. The experienced and knowledgeable owner was a pleasure to work with and the onsite workers did a professional job."

"This company is owned and operated by an elder brother assisted by two younger brothers. Paul, Vlad and Dan's work is outstanding! Three nicer young men you will never meet. They were respectful, well mannered and friendly. They were always on time. They worked quietly and dilegently throughout, until project completion. The project was to remove and replace rotted wood and insulation underneath the cedar of my entire chimney, the walls on both sides of the chimney and on the roof where rotted cedar butted against the roof. I suspect they ran into some unexpected challenges, but they never waivered, showed frustration or complained. They were genuine professionals. Paul, always answered or returned my calls right away. They all took pride in their work and it showed. And, the cost was very fair. I am an absolute fan. I give every aspect of the Elite company high praise."

"They installed a gorgeous new roof for us. The whole crew was very professional and courteous. Having once worked for a roofing company, I checked the quality of the installation and I can say that I couldn't find anything that wasn't done exactly how it should have been done! Highly recommend this roofing company in Albany NY."

FAQs for wood shake or composite roofing installation and replacement projects in Albany, NY

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.
