"At the suggestion of the estimator, the wood was replaced with PVC boards to avoid a recurrence of the rotting. The workman stained/painted the replacement boards in both locations to match the original wood. The results look excellent. All work was completed within one day, as estimated, and within the estimated cost."

"Aiden Soofi made the job not only priceless, but painless. We had wind damage to our roof which required a complete replacement. Aiden worked through all of the red tape with the insurance company, and had us scheduled for the work in a very reasonable period of time. He is very communicative and easy to work with. The workmen did a great job of replacing the roof with high quality materials - it looks great, and I expect it to last a long time. Well done Priceless!"

"S&K Roofing is the best! Their professionalism, workmanship, customer service, and commitment to quality is excellent. We replaced a roof and had new shutters installed. Both look fantastic. We've used S&K several times over the last 20 years, and have been impressed with them every time."

FAQs for wood shake or composite roofing installation and replacement projects in Helen, MD

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.
