"OUTSTANDING!!! I would hire this time again. I have a very large house (4200 sq feet). The Team started at 0630 and finished at 1630. By looking at my yard you cannot tell that I had a roof replaced. None of my landscaping was damaged. All roofing debris and roofing nails were removed."

"Empire Roofing and Remodeling did such a wonderful job! Tim, the owner is very attentive to what you are looking for and made himself available continuously for any questions or concerns that I had. His crew is very courteous and hard-working. All debris was cleaned up after the job and the house looks amazing. I have recommended Empire Roofing and Remodeling to several family members and friends. I will definitely use him for my next remodeling project or roof replacement when that time comes"

"Very thorough roof inspection. Nick is very friendly with an easy manner. He took a lot of pictures of my roof to show good, bad, and ugly. He also encouraged me to ask for help through my insurance company because there is visible hail damage."

FAQs for wood shake or composite roofing installation and replacement projects in Folly Beach, SC

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.
