"Devon was very polite and took care of needs in a very timely manner. Never pushy, giving different options for our needs. I had sone idea of costs and this company gave me the right quotes. They should be placing the roof soon."

"The price came under the quote. They came exactly when they said they would and they kept the area clean and came back twice to pick up roofing nails that landed in the grass. Everyone was polite and cleaned up after having lunch. I was so happy to find someone so honest and hardworking I called him to repair a tile on my house.

"Jackie and Dave were great to work with throughout the process. Leading up to getting the new roof installed, we had a crazy storm rip through. I reached out to Jackie and she rallied the troops (while she was on vacation!!) and got someone from her team to rush over and caulk a compromised spot on the roof, which kept us dry until the new roof was put on. I can’t say enough great things about the whole team!"

"Gary, was very helpful and pointed me on the right direction after I had discussed my concerns. Had he been able to help me I would have gladly hired him. My system ended up being under warranty and he suggested I contact the manufacture as to not void my warranty."

"We just bought the house and we needed some yard clean up. The trees hadn't been trimmed in a long time and we couldn't mow the lawn without hitting our head so we decided to hire Lawn and Order to clean them up along with shaping our over grown holly hedges. There was also a small bush/tree in the middle of my back yard that I had no idea what it was. When they came, he told me what the bush likely was and we discussed removing it. They did a fantastic job, the trees look great and the bush was removed - I can barely tell it was even there! They took the branches and things they trimmed and did a very good clean-up job where they had worked. Very professional....I would highly recommend them to anyone!"

"I received a prompt call back after contacting Whittle's. Eric came and checked out the issue... and gave me the bad news. With all the shingles that would need to be replaced, in the worst case, we were looking at ~$1,000. I gave him the go-ahead. Two days later the repair guy, Bobby, called me and set up an appointment. Only the weather delayed the work from being done the same week. He showed up on time, explained what he was doing, and after taking off some siding to better understand the issue gave me the news. There was a drainage issue, the damage was minimal, and the fix required no new shingles. He fashioned and installed a diverter to eliminate the problem."

FAQs for wood shake or composite roofing installation and replacement projects in Gainesville, 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.
