"Chris Sheets and the team at JD Hostetter did a full roof replacement and siding repair at our house after a storm in 2020. Then they did a full exterior paint job and added shutters in 2022. Both jobs were first rate and we couldn't have been happier with the service and the workmanship. I highly recommend them exterior house work."

"We were in need of having our gutters, downspouts, and roof valleys cleaned out. They arrived within a week of our initial contact. The job was completed quickly and they let us know exactly what they found and resolved. I would recommend this company."

"As they were fixing warping/wood rot I could see, they found that the entire porch needed replaced due to the builder's poor choice of un-pressure treated wood. I agreed for them to do so, they gave me a fair quote and were able to proceed."

"Nick rang my doorbell and offered a free roof inspection noting that there had been hail damage on other homes in the area. He took detailed photos, reviewed them with me and offered to work with my insurance company to get a roof replacement approved. Everything Nick said and did was truthful and helpful. The roofing crew did a great job and took care to prevent damage or leave any trash or debris. I would highly recommend Roof It Forward to anyone. The only cost to me was my insurance deductible. Great job Nick and Roof It Forward!!!"

"Russell Hill was the one bright spot of replacing my roof after storm damage. My insurance company dragged their feet for 6 months and initially refused to cover it's replacement or repair. After talking with different roofers, I went with Russell Hill because they were willing to help me through the process of "fighting" insurance. They helped me hire a public adjuster and would periodically check-in with me to assure me that I hadn't been forgotten and that the adjuster was still working on my case. Ultimately, they were right about the damage being covered by insurance and after a few months insurance agreed to cover it. Russell Hill quickly scheduled the replacement after confirmation and actual install of a ~1800 sq ft house roof replacement (including some roof element upgrades) took a day. Their staff was friendly, responsive, and helpful."

"Repair went very well. Mitch and Kevin came out on the same day we called them (Tuesday) and did a temporary patch around a leaking vent on the roof. Their repair team out the following Thursday with a new vent, shingles, and repair items and performed the repair within an hour. We are very satisfied with their responsiveness and attention to our roof problem."

"Eads gave us a solution that another company could not. Our roof didn't need replacing, which is what the other company wanted to do, but it did need the water leak repaired and I wanted to improve ventilation in another area of the roof. The initial response was very good and Chase rearranged his schedule to meet with me right away and discuss my problems. The work was high quality, in my opinion, and I'm confident we made the right choice going with Eads Roofing. There were some delays in communication on occasion but the work was done in a reasonable amount of time and everyone was great to work with."

"I have 11 years experience, in my youth, installing shingles and needed my roof replaced. All-American Restoration Inc is by far the best company I have ever witnessed install shingles. From the initial contact to the end of the cleanup, this company exceeded all roofers that I have seen or worked with. I would recommend All American Restoration Inc to anyone that needs a roof replaced."

"It has been an absolute pleasure working with Ryan and the guys at blue ladder. We knew we were gonna need repairs and had talked to a place or two beforehand, and we're getting absolutely nowhere, and a little desperate if I'm being honest. One day, out of the blue, Ryan showed up and offered to take a look. Within just a few weeks, we had a new roof. And throughout all this winter they have fought with the insurance to make sure we got all our siding replaced. They really came through, and I cannot recommend them enough. Please give these guys a call!"

FAQs for wood shake or composite roofing installation and replacement projects in Indianapolis, IN

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.
