Customers say: Terrific value

"I contacted Brad in a slight panic because we had an unexpected hole in our roof from a tree branch that had pierced it and through to our upstairs bathroom. He answered and after a brief conversation, told me that he could fix it the SAME day! He gave us a very reasonable quote, and within a few hours his team had shown up, assessed the damage, and repaired it! He kept in contact throughout the job, even sending us pictures. His team was fast! His proposal included everything, including a 10-yr guarantee. He personally showed up to our home to hand deliver the paperwork following the job. He also recommended an area contractor to do the inside work. "

"Chanler and his crew did an outstanding job. He explained everything that was going to be done and the completed the work flawlessly. They cleaned up after the job with nothing left on the ground. He used the highest quality material and made sure everything was done up to or above code. I would definitely hire them again and highly recommend Chandler and Almighty Construction for any job, not just roofing. "

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