"Friendly and knowledgeable, but I did feel like my job was very low on their list. I hired them to replace a leaking skylight; he came out and gave me a bid, which I accepted, for a custom size to fit the existing space. It was clear that the work would be scheduled when the unit had been received. All well and good, but when it actually arrived the issues started. Long story short, evidently the unit got misplaced or something and they had to order it again! I had to wait nearly three months for the install to finally happen. On the plus side, when I called to express concern at the weight of the water building up between the layers of the old one, they did come out and drill through the top layer to release the pressure, at no additional cost. So four stars - great customer service but lacking a level of organization. Who loses a skylight?"

FAQs for wood shake or composite roofing installation and replacement projects in Arlington, WA

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.
