"1. Our old wood siding was cracking and peeling in several spots, so we finally decided it was time to upgrade. We went with James Hardie plank siding through Imperia Roofing & Exteriors. Julian managed the project and made everything pretty straightforward. They replaced the siding, handled the window trim work, and finished with fresh exterior paint. Big improvement overall and the place feels much more updated now."

"Great company. Workers were professional & pleasant to have around. They were recommended by a friend and I would recommend them to a friend. Almost a year later and I am very happy I went with these guys.
Bruce didn't respond within 24 hours; however, he bothered to address my
many questions and was very knowledgeable ( unlike most roof companies I talked to).
Roof looks great.

"David and his crew are amazing! They really know their "stuff". We have a 10 unit condo complex surrounded by lots of trees. Last year they did dry rot repairs, fixed or replaced gutters throughout the complex. It was quite the project! In the fall, we hired them again and they did a gutter cleaning. They really did an outstanding job on both projects. Recently, they cleaned our gutters again and fixed 27 end caps. David's team did an excellent job and even cleared away the leaves in the complex. They take pride in their work, which is a rare thing today. We really appreciate the wonderful customer service and personal touches through phone calls, texting and emails. They are quick to respond, professional and friendly. All the residents were very impressed with the work they did. Because of the fair prices, easy to work with, and always doing a fantastic job we would not hesitate to use them again. Within 5-7 years we will be looking to them for new roofs and to install the GutterHelmet System. As the treasurer of our HOA, along with the other officers, we highly recommend this company."

"I have only positive things to say about Rhinos Roofing, Miguel and his crew. Miguel is very easy to work with and professional. The price was reasonable. His crew worked tirelessly and did a great job on my very steep roof. Miguel also put insulation and an attic fan in the attic, which makes such a difference in the temperature upstairs! They were on time, pleasant, neat and always closed the gate to my backyard so my dogs wouldn't get out. I got quotes from other roofing companies, some that were more expensive and did not pay attention to details like that. I highly recommend Rhinos Roofing."

"We had a partially flat roof that had a known issue with a leak where it met a vertical wall. On inspection we learned the old tar and gravel surface as a whole generally had issues requiring attention, as did the nonexistent or inadequate flashings. Looking for a roofer, we found Lifetime had the best price and high reviews. When Tony and Dylan came out to look at the situation and discuss fixes, we found that they listened well and came up with great solutions to the parts of our roof that needed repair and did not try to oversell us to fix the parts of our roof that were in good repair. Lifetime pulled the permit and got the team to work right away under the supervision of project manager Tony. He ably supervised the team and communicated progress daily in person or by email/text or both. He answered our questions and made sure the crew cleaned up, including ensuring they honored the city’s restriction on gas-powered blowers. All in all a job well done for a reasonable price. Thank you, Tony and team!"

"I have a sloped roof, my last contractor installed flat-roof shingles. I had no idea until I noticed a leak in my house. Called Journey Builders, George took his time explaining me the process. They were right on schedule, and extremely professional. Thank You!"

"I hired this roofing company for a full roof replacement. Overall, the experience was very positive. The crew showed up on time each day and kept me updated throughout the process. They explained the materials they were using and answered all my questions clearly. The job was completed in two days, and the cleanup was thorough, no nails or debris left behind. The price was in line with other quotes I received, and there were no surprise charges. The only issue was a slight delay in starting due to weather, but they communicated that ahead of time. I’d definitely recommend them to anyone needing roofing work and would use them again."

"Apollo Roofing was an amazing company to work with. I needed to have my roof replaced recently and did not know anything about what materials were best or what I should look for. Matthew took the time to walk me through every step of our estimate and explain to me why this was necessary, the most patient guy I know. I will recommend Apollo for peace of mind to all of my Friends and family"

FAQs for wood shake or composite roofing installation and replacement projects in Lagunitas-Forest Knolls, CA

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.
