"Our experience with A&D was excellent. After 5 quotes (A&D being the first) and reading through the contracts, not only was A&D's the most direct, but they were also the most honest. No hidden fees or language. Our representative was easy to talk to, made last-minute adjustments before the work started, and was available throughout the project. Each crew that came to complete the work were professional, kind, and had top notch skills. They were very tidy too- and cared about my three dogs’ safety. The project manager addressed all my questions and completed a thorough inspection with me post project. The warranty on work is best in class as well. I am going to use A&D for my future projects. We strongly recommend A&D. You will not be disappointed in price, quality, installation, warranty, or communication (verbal, email, text, and phone). Thank you A&D. PS. I love my dryer vent."

"While I've known Dustin for 20 years, I finally was in need of his services. He came out and inspected our roof, and patiently and nice went over everything. What I like is he gave us a timeline of when we might need to replace it and also gave a suggestion on something we might want to do in the meantime to maintain it. Top marks!"

"TTLC’s Chris Rojo went above and beyond my expectations. My original siding was damaged in a hail storm. Chris went to bat for me! Met with the insurance inspector. Walk through every bit of the house. He said he was negotiating for new siding for my house. I told him that I didn’t think it could be done. He proved me wrong! He got the funds and did the job. Now it feels like a brand new house! Thanks Chris!"

"Starting from when I began getting quotes from roofers, I was thoroughly impressed with Eugene and his company Estate Exteriors. He came to my house, inspected my roof, then sat down with me and explained the whole roofing process from beginning to end including the cost (no payment until the work was completed). He was never pushy but wanted to make sure all my questions were answered. When I finally made the decision to choose Estate Exteriors, Eugene helped me choose the shingle color and, again made sure any questions were answered. Once the crew arrived, they immediately got to work. If they found needed roof repair, phots were taken which Eugene shared with me. When the work was completed, clean-up was excellent, and Eugene returned the next day to inspect the work and do any extra clean-up. I am very happy with my new roof and know that I chose the right company. I would recommend it to anyone needing a new roof."

FAQs for wood shake or composite roofing installation and replacement projects in Aurora, IL

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.
