"We contacted Home Genius Exteriors in Streetsboro, OH as a recommended PRO on Angi. Their sales consultant, Dan, came to our home and did an exemplary job from inspecting our roof, inspecting the attic and then explaining the entire process to us. Dan is very knowledgeable and we appreciated the thorough explanation he gave us and everything he recommended that should be done. Dan is not your "typical" pushy salesperson; he truly wanted us to make an informed decision on this roofing project. We ended up contracting our new roof with Home Genius in large part because of Dan! We were also very happy that Home Genius was able to quickly fit us into their work schedule. The entire roofing project was amazingly seamless. The work crew (10 workers) worked tirelessly for 12 hours to complete a very large tear-off and roofing installation. I'd highly recommend Home Genius Exteriors as we were EXTREMELY pleased with everyone and everything involved in this project from start to finish!"

FAQs for wood shake or composite roofing installation and replacement projects in Independence, OH

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.
