"It went incredibly well. I woke up one morning to a leak in my roof. I knew the roof was going to need to be replaced at some point, but I was hoping I'd get another year out of it. The roof was in bad shape when I bought the house. I immediately started calling all of the roofing companies I could find on Google. It was early so I was leaving voicemails. Kasey from James and Whitney was the first and only one to get back to me in a timely manner. He was incredibly helpful on the phone, walking me through how to put a tarp over the impacted area. He even swung by later THAT DAY to check and make sure it was installed properly and to assess the roof. I knew it needed to be replaced so we went right into talking about estimates. The estimate was within my budget but the new roof came with a FIFTY-YEAR WARRANTY for parts and labor. You just can't beat that kind of warranty on an asphalt roof. We were scheduled within a week and I had a brand new, perfectly installed roof within a month. Kasey and his team were super respectful during the installation. When the installation had finished, Kasey inspected every inch of my property to pick up any tiny bits of trash and leave our lawn spotless. The whole process was so easy and stress-free. 10/10 would recommend!"

"I highly recommend Octagon Cleaning and Restoration. We recently purchased a house on the water and discovered that we had a mold issue in our basement. Matt and his crew were professional, informed us what needed to be done and completely eliminated the mold and the musty smell. Matt was very responsive to my texts, answered all my questions and a great representative of Octagon."

"They didThis crew did an outstanding job clearing and removing several massive storm‑damaged trees from my property. These were huge, dangerous trees, and they handled everything with real skill, efficiency, and care. They worked safely, cleaned up thoroughly, and were professional and friendly the entire time. If you need big trees removed, this is the team you want. Highly recommended a great job on fallen monster sized trees"

When my grandfather started roofing, his philosophy of business was grounded in the highest standards and "old time" values: honesty, integrity, and pride. This was a time when these core values were the backbone of America. He knew that a good reputation was much harder to gain than a bad one and the respect and trust of his customers must be earned and re-earned every day. My grandfather’s values upon which Roof Restore was founded have now passed through Three generations. We hope we remain blessed and are fortunate enough to pass them down to future generations. They are the building block of a proud family tradition, the source of our inspiration and the reason for our success. Roof Restore is a family owned company, in operation since 1951. Over the last six decades, we have been serving the residential and commercial owners of Maine. Now, the business has developed from a small dad and son operation to one of the largest roofing companies in Maine .

"I had been looking to replace a leaky metal roof on an old barn my wife <br /> had converted to use as her art studio.  The existing roof was an <br /> exposed  fastener, reversed box rib pattern.  The roof support was open <br /> purlins on 2x6 rafters spaced 24 inches on center.  We liked and wanted to <br /> retain the metal roof feature of the building. <br /> Almost all the roofers I talked to wanted to install a standing seam or <br /> similar concealed fastener roof, which, in addition to being way more <br /> expensive, would have required installation of a solid deck, likely <br /> exceeding the design capacity of the existing rafters.  Few were <br /> experienced and familiar with the type of roof we wanted. <br /> Of the three estimates for an exposed fastener roof I was able to get, <br /> Chris' was the most reasonable.  In addition, he was prompt in getting <br /> out to look at the property and give an estimate, and personable and <br /> professional in demeanor.  He did the job exactly when he said he would, <br /> and the materials and workmanship were excellent.  Communicating with <br /> him throughout the project was easy. <br /> In summary, this was an outstanding experience with a professional and <br /> knowledgeable contractor.  I would not hesitate to call on his services <br /> again, or to recommend him to others. <br />"

"Technician came to the house and analyzed the problem. It was determined that the cost of repair was over the allowable Choice Home Warranty limit and it should be replaced. Choice Home Warranty issued their replacement cost. This cost was unacceptable and I challenged their figure. After some negotiation I was offered an increased settlement amount. I still balked at their offer but I was told to take it or repair my old microwave. I finally accepted their amount, even though it is still well below what it will cost me to replace the unit. I might add that the existing microwave has the convection feature and I want to replace with same features. The cost that I will receive also does not include any removal, disposal or installation costs. At this time I am debating whether I will continue with Choice Home Warranty or consider other options."

"Takes a while to get ahold of them to get in system. I found them to be fair in determining whether to make a repair or replace. Very fair and reasonable, They are clear on what is and isn’t covered."

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

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.
