"We needed our roofing shingles torn off and replaced, and we were not disappointed with the work that Balke’s did. From the initial consult to discussing an estimate and finally getting the work done, the whole experience was seamless and painless. They were quick and thorough, and left the house so much better than they found it. We would absolutely hire Balke’s again, and plan to recommend them to any and all of our friends with roofing needs."

"C&J construction has remodeled our whole house. They were in step with us from the very beginning. They helped in our final design before the remodeling started. C&J made recommendations that maximizes space by suggestion wall placement, moving doors, and windows in in the planning phase. Not only did they create space but it didn’t add to the final bill. During the construction their workers were professional and they have become part of our extended family. When we build our horse barn they will be the first and only call we make!"

FAQs for wood shake or composite roofing installation and replacement projects in Montgomery, AL

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.
