"Steve and crew was awesome to work with. We had a major leak in an older home we purchased, two weeks in. They were punctual, professional, and informed us every step of the way. In particular, Steve educated on where the problem was, the shoddy work that had been done previously on the roof, and the steps they were taking to rectify the problem. Not only did they fix the leak, but they applied additional Mortar around the Chimney that was missing and touched it off with fresh paint. Much Appreciated!"

"Excellent!! Lon and Tip Top Roofing are fantastic! We were in business for over 30 years in South Florida and did not think that a good and honest company still existed here. From the first call with Olga to Lon and crew completing the job the work was flawless to where not even a nail was left to pick up. Lon and the entire staff at Tip Top Roofing will renew your faith that there are great companies still left. Go with Tip Top Roofing and you will not be sorry."

"This was a $70,000 metal roofing project with serious safety issues and no meaningful oversight from Neal Roofing.Before posting this,we contacted Neal Roofing directly to try to resolve the issues privately.No one ever called us back.The metal crew cut metal in 9?10 locations around our property with no tarps or containment,leaving nails and metal shards across our driveway,yard,and near the pool.It became unsafe to go outside or use our driveway unless we cleaned it ourselves daily.Over a two-week project,the project manager was on site only three times.We escalated to the PM,management,and the salesperson multiple times and nothing changed.Cleanup was promised for Friday.No one showed up,and Neal Roofing was willing to leave a large,uncontained pile of debris in our driveway all weekend.Actual damage occurred:roofing nails punctured our tire,requiring two new tires,and metal left in the pool caused rust stains.Concerns about damage were ignored. Still no response to this day. "

"Both Banes Roofing ( David and George), are the only family businesses in roofing that I could say "Get's the job done the right way!" Excellent customer service: Alex (rep), George(trouble shooter) among others. My experience with them goes back 40 years- I am in the same Townhome!"

"Mike from ROOFS TO GO INC. gave me the best quote and it wasn't just the best quote but also very professional and genuine work, explained very well what really makes sense and if I don't like and still want to do what I was expecting, they didn't had any problems, but always gave me what is best to be done."

FAQs for wood shake or composite roofing installation and replacement projects in Fort Lauderdale, FL

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.
