"Look no further for a reliable, honest and fair priced roofing company! We had a total roof replacement including repairs to our old roof (uneven and weak decking, leaking around the chimney and in a valley and problems with ice dams and water stains as a result of those dams). Edwin addressed all these concerns by replacing bad decking, using specialized rubberized roofing underlayment, properly installing flashing along the chimney and adding adequate ventilation to our roof. The architectural shingles look amazing and have transformed the look of our house. Edwin was very professional and kept us informed of our timetable and progress. In addition, Edwin is a great communicator! He promptly responded to all our calls and texts. O’Franco Roofing is a small business and the work crew are all company employees invested in quality work and service – not sub-contractors like most of the large roofing companies use. This was a very important aspect for us as it assured proper supervision and superior work. The job was done quickly and professionally with the crew taking great care to avoid damage to gutters, our deck or landscaping. The cleanup was outstanding, leaving no trace that such a major project was undertaken. When the job was complete, Edwin visited to do a final inspection and make sure we had no questions or concerns about the job. We will recommend Edwin and his crew to our friends and are looking forward to having O’Franco Roofing help us with a second project, our shop building roof."

"Finish Line did a great job on our roof. They had to replace the whole roof including plywood. Bradley was very easy to work with and very straightforward. His workers were good workers who were quick and very clean. I would recommend them to others."

"They did a fabulous job. They completely removed and disposed of the old roof. Repaired decking and replaced with new roof. The crew did a great job. They cleaned up everything and were able to finish in one day. I would definitely use them again and highly recommend them to anyone with roofing needs."

"At first I was kind of skeptical about just the whole idea simply because it’s something I’m not familiar with. But, like a lot of great things in life, you have step out of your comfort zone to really find things that’ll benefit you and make you happier in the end. I’m happy with my product and Roy’s service, he didn’t treat me like a dollar sign, he treated me like a friend and his personality and charisma is the main reason aside from this being a genius idea for me to pick Roy or someone else. I definitely recommend Gr8r Than Energy to anyone looking to get Solar Panels."

"Community Builders did a great job on my roof. They also did siding and windows on my home. It has been a few years now, and I have had no issues with the product or the installation. My home energy costs are now very low as well. They offer extensive warranties on their products beyond what the manufacturer offers, and they stand by them."

FAQs for wood shake or composite roofing installation and replacement projects in Fort Smith, AR

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.
