"From the initial visit to scope the work required, through the delivery of the quote, and the scheduling and performance of the work, this was arguably one of the smoothest, easiest major home repair projects I've had to get done. The estimator arrived exactly on time, which was important to me, because I live about two hours from the worksite, my son's house. He did a thorough inspection, then provided a detailed breakdown of the work required and the materials and costs involved. He also took the time to explain the advances in roofing systems since the existing roof was installed during construction of the home over thirty years ago. The proposal was delivered the next day, with an additional, lower cost option, which included an explanation of the sources of the cost reductions. This is one of the key reasons I can unhesitatingly recommend Peak Roofing. They provided sound technical reasons for the system I selected for the house, while also explaining, without trying to "upsell," some advantages of their higher grade offerings, AND the tradeoffs associated with their lower tier systems. They proposed a system that would deliver excellent performance and longevity and that was priced appropriately for the property. The proposal delivery and invoicing processes were seamless, and the office staff was exceedingly helpful. This is not the first roof I've had to get replaced, and it can be a very disruptive process. The Peak Roofing installation crew was the best I've worked with. Showed up on time, went right to work and, even though there were some surprises - seven sheets of sheathing that clearly needed replacement - they had the old roof off, the sheathing replaced and the new system installed in a little under six hours. On previous jobs, I've had to walk around the house and pick up remnants of the old roof after the crew had left. Not this time. In fact, I think the area around the house was cleaner when they left than when they arrived. I was truly amazed that the only evidence of their having been at the house was the beautiful new roof. Cannot recommend these folks highly enough. Terrific customer service and truly outstanding workmanship."

"Installer was right on time, and the installation went well, although hampered by the weather -off and on showers. This took some extra time, but the installer was pleasant and he worked through it with no anxiety. He pointed out some useful information with regard to the attic, and went through the warranty with us. No mess was left!"

"We had Marshall Roofing do an extensive replacement of our 40 year old house exterior. They replaced aluminum siding, soffits and fascia, plastic window trim and door wood trim with Hardie Plank products. In addition, they installed a new roof and gutters. Their work was impressive-they provided an accurate and comprehensive cost proposal, detailed schedule for product delivery and installation and completed the work as planned. The house looks great and should not require further exterior maintenance for years. Their cost was competitive with other proposals, but their responsiveness to our initial inquiry, thorough pre-proposal inspection and recommendations convinced us to chose them. Strong recommendation."

"We had this company come and replace our roof. The finished product looks better than I could have ever imagined. They were very easy to communicate with through the job, and they were extremely sensitive to any problems that they thought might come up, so they would talk with us several times a week to just let us know what was going on and what we could expect during the roof insulation. The price was great! We received many estimates and their metal roof estimate was half the cost of our other estimates. The installation went great, and the service was awesome. I could not be any happier with our choice to use this company!!!"

"We had the roof on our 2640 square-foot house replaced with an architectural-style one in Williamsburg Slate, grey tones with subtle red tones. We are very satisfied with the roof. The guttering and fascia repair will be done soon. Emily Rinaldo, the HCR marketing rep., gave a thorough and lengthy (3 hours) presentation on every aspect of the roof. She is personable, professional, and knowledgeable. The well-manned roofing team arrived on the day stated and completed most of the roofing in one day. The roofers had been trained by HCR and were not day-laborers or sub-contractors. They returned early the next morning and completed their work in a couple hours. No unpleasant surprises here! Financing is available."

"Excellent experience! I cannot say enough great things about working with Zach and team on replacing our roof. Zach came out to our home and took his time going over and looking at the entire roof to ensure he had a clear picture of what needed to be done. He gave us a detailed quote including revising the quote and breaking it down several ways for us showing pricing differences for various shingles and even splitting up the roof into different sections. We were not ready to make the commitment right away and Zach did a great job checking in every so often, but not being an "over bearing sales guy" or completely "ghosting" us either. Once we decided to move forward with them we also had them quote and replace a portion of wood siding on our home with vinyl to match the rest of the house. Scheduling and communication throughout the project was excellent. The crew that came out was very hard working, respected our home and property, and were extremely professional. The roof and siding look fantastic! I would highly recommend Exterior Medics!"

"<p>Getting the estimate was a breeze.  Todd, the owner, showed up as expected and provided me with his vision for correcting the leaking front porch.  He was extremely pleasant to deal with and told me I would have a written estimate within a couple of days.  He asked how I heard about his company and I told him Angie's List.  The estimate arrived as planned and I agreed to the terms.  Now the problems start..... I had to pester the front office to get a start date.  I had several other projects being planned and was hoping that Amanda and/or Kim from the front office of Pierpoint could give me a start date.  All I got was they were busy and they would have to talk with Todd to figure out where they could fill me in.  I was told that they would keep in touch and let me know a start date.  I was driving to work a couple of weeks later and received an email from Amanda at Pierpoint which stated the work would be done on my house that day at 11:00 AM.... What business contacts the customer the day of the install?  This was unsat and I called to reschedule as this date conflicted with another project.  When asked about another date, I was told the owner was out of town until 10 July and that the front office could not schedule me until the owner returned.  At this point, I told the front office to pencil me in for August and if they could not accommodate, I would take my business elsewhere.  I was asked to provide them dates of my projects so they could work around my schedule... The problem was I need a scheduling date from them so I could set up my many other projects.  I was returning from vacation on 18 July when I received a phone call from Amanda, she stated the work could be done on 21 and 22 July.  Finally!!!!  I agreed and the crew showed up on 21 July.  </p> <p>My wife stayed home on 21 July to pay the 50% deposit for the work.  The workers had no idea how much money they were to collect and called the front office to obtain the amount.  The workers reported to my wife that the front office would call us and let us know how much we were to pay.  The call never happened..... As a matter of fact, it was an email that came after the workers had left for the day.  </p> <p>The work performed was not bad, but I was not there to see what was actually done, if wood or the structure had to be replaced or not.  And, I never received info on this topic as well.  When I came home after the work was completed, there was debris in my driveway, nails in my landscaping, sharp shards of metal on the sidewalk, and cigarette butts on the ground around the job cite.  When they removed the crushed stone/rock from the old roof, they tossed it in my woods rather than pack it up and remove it.  I was not pleased with the professionalism.  I instantly complained and Todd the owner came out to clean up the mess.  He did remove the rocks and some debris, but my wife and I filled a small trashcan with debris in the landscaping.  </p> <p>In closing, Todd was a pleasure to work with.  The front office staff, scheduling, and professionalism of the workers needs much improvement.  I will not use this company again, nor will I recommend to friends or neighbors.</p> <br />"

FAQs for wood shake or composite roofing installation and replacement projects in Fredericksburg, VA

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.
