"In June, 2017 Perfection Roofing took a day and half to remove our 30 year old roof and replace it new, beautiful blue and gray asphalt singles on both the home and garage. A rubber roof was replaced on the back of the home, too. Also, they installed an anti-bird guard on the chimney and replace the base of chimney flashing. The experienced and knowledgeable owner was a pleasure to work with and the onsite workers did a professional job."

"We hired the boys to replace 3 skylights and our metal roof. the old Marvin skylights are no longer produced so they replaced them with Velux skylights of a different size. this, of course, required a retrimming of the interior opening. when I asked about this the boss, Paul, replied: we do not do trim carpentry. you will have to get someone else to do that. needless to say that I was irate. not only does the job look like hell, in one case I cannot even open it. the overall job was excellent but, if you plan to get skylights replaced, be sure that you have the internal trim work figured out beforehand. I would recommend a written contract."

"Stephen, first came to clean my gutters and then I asked him what, if anything, could be done to fix the gutters to prevent the clogging from happening in the future. He suggested some repitching of the gutters, a few leak repairs and the installation of shur Flo gutter guards. I asked about a few other items that had been suggested to me over the years by other contractors and instead of simply trying to upsell me on something that didn't make sense, he saved me a ton of money through honestly going through the options and explaining the most effective solution for my situation. I then researched the shur Flo product and found it to be of extremely high quality. The installation went smoothly, Stephen showed up on time, walked me through the install and patiently answered all of my questions. I would absolutely recommend 1st Choice General Contracting to friends and family and have already passed this information on to my parents who need gutter work done as well. Thank you Stephen for your honesty and professionalism!"

"I originally had my gutter screens installed Feb 2021. Recently I had a new roof installed. The roofing company removed the screens in order to do job. I made one call to Eddie and he was there next week and reinstalled screens. He also made sure that the new installation was done correctly to insure it would not void the roofing warranty. It’s always better to use a local in lieu of national contractors like leaf filters. You get better personal communication and satisfaction. In this case Eddies Company Capital Gutters is a Veteran owned family business. You best bet is to hire the vet!"

"The process was supposed to take 3 days, it was finally done in 8 days. The trash removal was sloppy. Because the roof was not properly covered and secured, there was a big roof leak. As a result my ceiling got damaged. I am still waiting for contractor to change wet insulation in attic and fix damage ceiling. Will follow up when the damages are fix."

"

I was very happy with the seamless rain gutter work done by PPF. They responded promptly to my request for an estimate and their price was consistent with the other three rain gutter contractors I called. They came when they said they would and the installation went smoothly. The PPF workers were friendly and were working the entire time they were on site. The results were great. The rain gutters have easily handled the heavy rain we?ve been having and have moved the rain water well away from the house.

Of particular note, PPF was the only contractor to come up with a solution for a problem that caused one contractor to pass on the job. Specifically, 80 year old crown molding at the edge of the roof line covered the fascia that the rain gutter would be attached to. As a result, there was no way to know how solid the fascia was beneath the crown molding or how complete it was. If the rain gutter was attached to the crown molding and it and the fascia beneath it were in poor shape, the rain gutter would not have adequate support. Given the age of the crown molding, I went with their plan and it was the right thing to do. After 80 years, most of the crown molding had deteriorated and the fascia beneath it did not completely cover the rafter ends. It was the right way to go. PPF attached 2X6's to the rafter ends with lag screws (ensuring the rain gutter had a solid surface to attach to) and then they custom fabricated sheets of painted aluminum on site to completely and precisely cover the fascia. The fascia looked fantastic. And it is now solid, completely sealed and maintenance free. While it was an additional charge, it is exactly what was needed. They did a first rate job all around.

FAQs for wood shake or composite roofing installation and replacement projects in Guilderland, NY

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.
