"Initia interactions with Quality Builders and Remodelers (QB&R) were favorable. Communication was good, showed up on time, work looked good etc. (Job was to install vinyl siding and vinyl shake shingles) After crew left I started finding nails and waste in yard. Still not a big deal. 6 months after the vinyl was installed, I started to see bulging in the siding, almost looked like the vinyl was expanding under heat. Called and left a message with QB&R to advise them of the bulging and asked if they would take a look to see if anything could be done. Never heard from them, Six more months went by and a significant wind storm blew shake shingles off a dormer, and loosened a number of other shingles on a gable end. This time I called three contractors to price the job, including QB&R. Two of the contractors thought it had been installed incorrectly. QB&R suggested they were busy, but would take a look and get back to me. That was ~ 6 weeks ago and I've yet to hear from them. "

FAQs for wood shake or composite roofing installation and replacement projects in Llewellyn, PA

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.
