"From start to finish, everything was stellar and affordable. Ross was super cool, it's always nice to have an enjoyable salesperson come to you. Our windows look stellar and I can already feel the difference from how drafty it was in my office to right after this install."

I had Mr. Hickman replace some damaged baseboards on the interior of my home, he offered a great price and solution to my problem. Professional, experienced, and made sure I liked the finished project before he left. Would hire again"

"Our 1955 Ranch-style home with 28-year old asphalt shingles was experiencing leaks in the attic with every storm. (Plus the fascia boards on the windward side were about half rotted, as were corner sections of the old wooden soffits.) Even the gutters (bent in places from falling branches) had leaks. Bluebird brought everything up to code. After removing the old shingles and applying new tar-paper, they decked the entire roof (which already had sturdy 1X6 decking) with reflective half-inch paneling -- before topping these panels with architectural-grade 4-tab shingles. (Before laying the decking they had cut off the obsolete dormer-style louvered vents, replacing them with up-to-date ridge vents.) They finished this work, plus roofing our 12 X 12 storage shed and removing their trash in a day and a half total. Bluebird then sent in their gutter crew, headed up by Elder Alvarado. New 1 X 8 fascia boards replaced the rotting 1 X 6's, backed around the entire house by straight 2 X 6 lumber nailed to the rafter ends. The fascia boards were then wrapped in aluminum that tucked up under the aluminum drip edge under the shingles. We were blown away by the results of this upgrade. Next the old wooden soffits were cut out and replaced by breathable vinyl panels. All new aluminum gutters, downspouts, and screwed-down leaf guards completed the job. (Now I can rest a ladder anywhere against this integrated structure and the gutter simply does not budge.) The gutters, fascia boards, and soffits were a huge challenge, and because of frequent thunderstorms took nearly five days, but Elder's crew immediately fixed whatever slightest complaint I had, plus cleaned up their mess at the end of each workday. At first I was hesitant to go for all new gutters, but the results speak for themselves."

FAQs for wood shake or composite roofing installation and replacement projects in Columbia, TN

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.
