"Very professional. All workers did a good job. Property was much cleaner when they left. Couldn't ask for more. My expectations were met. The roofers especially were incredible. They had a great system of installing the new roof. It was a 10/10 experience for me."

"Lev is an excellent craftsman. He and his crew addressed all the issues with the repair and replacement of new sheathing and new asphalt shingles on my home and garage. Also, Natia was so helpful and patient answering all my questions and explaining the different shingle manufacturers and providing samples. Thank you Levs Construction! A+ looks awesome!"

"Acorn was great. As a first time homeowner, I appreciated the recommendations they made for replacing the old insulation in our attic and getting the largest bang for our buck. At the same time, they didn't try to upsell us on things other contractors recommended. Overall, the price was competitive and the work quality was high."

"American Home replaced my roof and siding, porch windows and some add-on exterior lighting. One of the reasons I chose AHR was not just due to the best price, they came in line with other estimates I received, but because they included things with their final price that similar companies had as add-ons at an extra cost such as the dumpster and gutter system. I did not know what to expect as this was the first time I've had these things replaced. My rep John was awesome, he was professional, friendly and accommodating, and was able to work with me on the spot vs. "I have to check back to the owners" which I got from other companies. John was readily available by phone, text, and in person. He walked me through all the steps, timelines, and the whole process. After the crew finished, he took my list of 'nit-pick' things and made sure they were addressed. Overall I am satisfied with the job, In fact, we recommended them to our neighbors who hired them to do their siding this Spring."

"Perfect! I was in need of someone to certify the condition of my Mom’s roof for insurance purposes. I found A1’s information on Angi’s list and as soon as I hit the enter button for a quote I received a phone call from A1. I told them what needed to be done and he arranged for it to be happen the same day within a few hours of my call. I didn’t expect it because of the bad weather but he was true to his word. He was on time and completed the task and answered all questions I had. He was very courteous and professional and I would definitely use them for future needs!"

FAQs for wood shake or composite roofing installation and replacement projects in Livingston, NJ

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.
