"The service was very quick to completion, lasting maybe a day. The owner and some of the crew did have to return twice to clean up roofing nails in the yard due as we have two dogs and one ended up with a nail in his leg while we were playing. The owner was very apologetic and covered the vet visit via a reduction in the cost of the roofing service. The roof looks great and the owner, Paulo, was very professional, nice, and dedicated to customer service."

"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."

"Dan& sons installed a pitched metal burgundy roof, porch roofs & matching carport, on my 150 year old Fort Plain home. I have also left a previous review of their residential stainless steel siding job. Included is a photo of the original house when we bought it in 2008. Dan & sons Levi, David, & Junior, have not just transformed the house, but saved it. They work with the highest integrity and their work is outstanding. Their prices are affordable and competitive. I can recommend them with no hesitation."

"Paul, Vlad, and his team did an excellent job on my garage roof. They fixed the pitch, installed ice and water shield throughout, and installed a beautiful standing seam metal roof. They were all a pleasure to do business with. Would hire them again. They also did a beautiful job on the roof of my daughter, combination asphalt and metal on the porch, etc. and also, they worked very quickly with the good cleanup."

"I spoke with Stephen who gave me an estimate for gutter cleaning and gutter guard installation. The cost was fair, and Stephen was able to arrange for the work to be done the same day. The job was done quickly and professionally. It was a pleasure dealing with this company, the process was as hassle free as it gets. I can recommend 1st Choice General Contracting without reservation, and look forward to using them on future projects."

"Those guys are true professionals. They were very responsive. They returned my initial inquiry call quickly and provided all the information that I was interested in. They quickly arrived for an estimate and did not pest me with emails or phone calls during the period of time while I was still shopping around. Their estimate was the best (I surveyed 3 different companies). At the end of the day I did not pay a penny extra from what they estimated. That is, they did not try to sell anything additional or play dumb (as others do) by saying.. "or there will be extra for this, extra for that...it is more expensive but worth it, etc...)The actual work was done exactly as I asked them to do. They were focused on what they were doing, they were quick but not rash, they didn't do any small talk they just did the job. That's it. We had a strong rainfall the same evening. It was the difference like a night and day.....In short, if you live in Capital region and need roof gutters installed - look no further. They are your company. I highly recommend them and certainly will use them again if need arises."

"Very well. I met with 6 contractors over the course of one year- searching for someone with a decent price and who seemed trustworthy. I signed with Tim to replace my roof and siding the day we met. As with many home projects, things came and the cost grew. I believe Tim was extremely fair in pricing. He and his team worked all winter to complete the siding and roof- both look beautiful!"

"It was fixed in a couple of days! While they were there, they noticed problems with my roof. Jacob came and showed me photos and explained what was happening with my aging shingles and not so professional roofing job that was done on my addition. He was professional and was in no rush to get out the door, allowing me to ask questions and giving me options. Needless to say, he gained my confidence in his company, and is now scheduling the replacement of my roof."

FAQs for wood shake or composite roofing installation and replacement projects in Amsterdam, 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.
