"My wife and I went with them because they were professional, no salesy, and were quick on updates and responses. We had multiple quotes on synthetic cedar shake and ended up deciding to go with designer shingles and windows instead. Jan and Joe are a great team and I've sent them a few referrals already. Thank you, Mack"

"Robert was a pleasure to work with and gave me a great deal compared to two other competitors. His team did a great job too, against adversity, and finished the job in just two days as promised. First, they discovered that my sheathing was rotting due to high moisture and poor ventilation in the attic of my 26yr old home. They successfully replaced 55 sheets of 1/2" plywood, without hesitation, after my approval, to keep the job on track. Better even yet, they resolved the sources of the moisture and lack of ventilation to ensure that it doesn't happen again. Second, at the start of the 2nd day, their ladder hoist broke down, which I expected to halt work (not getting heavy packages of shingles to the roof). But, instead of a delay, the team members just carried them up the ladder manually to get the job done on time. You don't see that kind of commitment very often in this new world order. I would highly recommend them for your next roofing job. Thank you, R Celeste Construction!"

Udo's effective communication skills were not only evident by his interactions with us, but also in his regular conversations with senior members of his team. His easy-going, non-argumentative style proved to be an effective way to communicate in a fast-paced, intense industry. Above all, Udo proved himself to be an individual with a strong moral and ethical character. He is a driven, self motivated individual, and any organization would be fortunate to have him on their team. Excellent work all around and highly recommended! All of our neighbors even commented on how excellent the whole process went and they were also especially impressed with the clean-up! Excellent work - they went above and beyond!"

FAQs for wood shake or composite roofing installation and replacement projects in Melrose Park, IL

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.
