"Very short version: I'd use WadeCo again. Newly completed work appears to have been done well, professionally and competently. Of course, the real test is how the roof will stand up in future years, and from the work done I do not expect any issues - in any case, I have confidence that if issues come up, they will be resolved. Replacing a roof (1) costs a lot of money (2) can be a surprising upheaval given the potential for mess, nails and noise, and - most important - (3) can be an expensive disaster for your house if not done right, so it is worth doing a little homework. I started by asking for recommendations from friends, as well as looking here on Angie’s List. I obtained several bids, seeking the best value not necessarily the lowest price, and checked references. Using a local company was important to me as it keeps money in our community and you know where to find the local business if there’s a problem. Pricing was agreed, tile grade & color chosen, insurance papers provided, and a schedule set. The crew arrived on time, with all needed supplies, everything checked out by the supervisor. The old roofing tiles etc were removed, the new installed, with no surprises, no damage, no drama, at a reasonable pace – pleased that no-one was rushing MY job to get a the next one. Some errors in the previous roof installation were pointed out, and the problems rectified. Clean up was excellent, the work site left very tidy, no trash, nothing left behind. The payment process was made easy. Throughout the process, the site supervisor kept me informed which I appreciated. Tip: no matter how carefully the crew cleans, there will be some nails left behind. Borrow, or buy a cheap, magnetic sweep, especially if you have kids or pets."

"After insurance was finally in agreement everything went pretty smooth. We had a somewhat complicated type of labor installation required for our storm damaged sheathing on the roof(bitumen torch down for flat roof most of the cost for roof) and we also required shingles needing replaced on main part of home. They were persistent keeping to the insurance requirements and dealing with them for quotes. We noticed a few parts of flashing off centered bit Michael made sure were quick to get this fixed. Michael was great to work with handled everything very professionally. He even tried hard to help us get the trees still standing paid to us for lumber vs out of pocket as we got on tree removal mode with the close calls we had.Note to others with wood siding hunter green looks extremely great for shingle color!!!! Would definitely hire again!"

"Red Stick Roofing employees arrived timely and went straight to work. They worked tirelessly in this heat with no complaints and come to me quickly with any issues that arose. They were also ready to answer me with any questions that I may have had. They quickly cleaned up any mess they made during the replacement of my roof. The roofing contractor, Lee, was more than helpful. He explained things to me for anything I didn’t understand (first time getting new roof not withstanding a hurricane). He led me through the claims process as well as answered all questions I had regarding payment. I would refer them to others and would not hesitate to hire them again."

"(Job was started around Jan. 7th) My roof looks good but the chimney looks horrible! If you are looking for a roofer that is punctual, efficient, and completes the job in a timely manner, then Bear's Cajun Roofing is not the company for the job. In all fairness, we had lots of cold and rainy weather that interfered with the installation, but even on the days that weather permitted we never knew if or what time the workers would show up. It took a month for work to be completed, which was very frustrating. Needless to say the job isn’t completed, where they left the trash til this day it’s still in same spot where it was left. Also some of the tin isn’t screwed in certain spots. After numerous times being lied to about coming back I’ve decided to have someone else to come finish the job!"

FAQs for wood shake or composite roofing installation and replacement projects in Carencro, LA

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.
