"We have just replaced all the windows in our home using Power Home Remodeling to replace 15 year old windows with Pella Symphony Series windows. Our experience from the sales and information meeting, pre-installation, installation, and final review and inspection were excellent and informative. All of our questions were answered and demonstration of window use were great."

"Elite roofing was very responsive, punctual, professional and went above and beyond when replacing our roof. They removed 2 layers of shingles and installed our new GAF architectural shingles. It looks great! They cleaned up after themselves and removed and reinstalled the gutter guards in the process too."

FAQs for wood shake or composite roofing installation and replacement projects in Locust, NC

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.
