"We scheduled 4 estimates through Home Advisor to have our roof replaced. We decided to hire Clay from Bulldog Roofing, and couldn't be happier with our decision. Our roof looks amazing and it cost much less than some other companies we received estimates from. We even upgraded to a level 4 shingle, and had the ridge vent installed. Clay was available to us by phone, text, and email throughout the entire process. His customer service skills are outstanding and he is transparent and honest! Amazingly, the crew was able to scrape 3 LAYERS of old roofing materials off and completely install the roof in one (very long) day! (About 14 hours of HARD work!) The cleanup process was fantastic as well. They layed down tarps around the entire perimeter of our home and when they strategically rolled them up, the crew left nothing behind. We have found 1 stray nail in our yard. We are 100% satisfied with our entire experience with Bulldog Roofing, and would recommend them to anyone who is interested in getting a new roof, with a great warranty and a very fair price."

My house looks even more adorable now! They also replaced my old, broke down gutters last year. I highly recommend A2 for roofs and gutters!"

FAQs for wood shake or composite roofing installation and replacement projects in Firth, NE

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.
