"The Weather Tamer team did an outstanding job replacing my roof and railings due to wind damage. Michael quoted the job and followed up regularly on the progress, Luther led the roofing team that worked hard, did an excellent job in difficult conditions and were very friendly, and I'm sorry that I don't remember the name of the railing team that also worked hard, did excellent work and were very friendly. Both teams were very conscientious of clean-up and left my property in great condition. I plan to do some additional railing and deck work and will hire Weather Tamer to do the work. I am extremely satisfied and would recommend Weather Tamer to friends. In addition, the cost was less than the insurance estimate."

FAQs for wood shake or composite roofing installation and replacement projects in Greeneville, TN

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.
