"OUTSTANDING!!! I would hire this time again. I have a very large house (4200 sq feet). The Team started at 0630 and finished at 1630. By looking at my yard you cannot tell that I had a roof replaced. None of my landscaping was damaged. All roofing debris and roofing nails were removed."

"A huge appreciation to Tim Gentry and his teams at Empire Roofing and Remodeling! Let me emphasize, nobody anticipates having their siding replaced, absolutely nobody. However, Tim and his teams effortlessly turned what I dreaded into a smooth and rapid transition, seamlessly swapping out the old siding for the new James Hardie ColorPlus® Technology. Their work was truly exceptional from beginning to end. Initially, Tim steered us toward ColorPlus® Technology, which is James Hardie’s pre-painted plank siding. This remarkable finish boasts a 15-year limited warranty covering both paint and labor, guarding against peeling, cracking, and chipping. I was unaware of this option before, but the prospect of no painting for 15 years was immensely appealing. Tim's teams worked with impressive speed, professionalism, and meticulous attention to detail, maintaining an impeccably clean job site throughout the entire process. We cannot speak highly enough of Tim and Empire Roofing and Remodeling. Their service exceeded our expectations!"

"To anyone who is considering working with ?Charleston Roofing & Exteriors?;

                I am the president of an HOA in Mt Pleasant.  We are a small community with only 1 very old building (14 individual
condo?s and 1 townhouse) which was built way back in the 1970?s.   Our building has five different roof sections; divided by four ?fire-walls? of cement cinder-blocks which has concrete poured over them for ?cosmetic appearance?. 

                After years of doing patchwork on our old roof the HOA finally decided it was time to stop the bleeding and get a brand new roof.
                I myself took on this job of finding the best company for our small community.

                I personally spent many hours researching different roofing companies in the Charleston area.  I ended up calling 12
different companies (which had great reputations & reviews).    I left a voice message for ALL 12 companies (telling them I had a big potential project for them replacing a new roof for a multi-family building); I had only 6 companies call me back, I had only 4
companies that took the time to come out and inspect the property?.these 4 companies finally supplied me a quote.

                I won?t get into details about cost between the 4 companies?all four companies were almost in the same ball-park of each other.   Mike and his team stood out because of what they were offering and the impression I got from him.  

           The other roofing contractors gave me the impression that they would only be doing ?patch-work? but on a larger scale.   They only wanted to quote and replace SOME damaged sheathing on the roof and keep some of the original old ones.   If I am going to
spend THOUSANDS of dollars on a new roof?.I want to make sure I have a brand NEW roof?..not a roof which is half new & half old.

                Plus, the other roofing guys did not give me the warm ?fuzzies? about how to handle the flashing on our building.   Our
building is unique in the fact that our fire-walls are cinderblocks with concrete poured over it.   Some of the other contractors (once again) wanted to take the ?short-cut? and just add flashing OVER the existing flashing?.again this is just more ?patch-work? in my
opinion.

                Mike and his team gave our community ALL new sheathing, ALL new flashing, proper drip edges, 30 year shingles AND as an added upgrade we added ADDITIONAL water protection to our roof by COMPLETELY covering the roof with a product called ?Ice-&-Water Shield? (look it up).

                Mike and his team were able to tackle the ?unexpected? (which should always be expected on any large scale job)?.we had evidence of wood rot which was found out after the removal of the sheathing (the other contracting companies would have missed
this).  Mike and his team fixed these issue. 

                Mike and his team (2 crews with a total of ~12-15 guys per day) were able to complete the job in 72 hours.      I am now confident that we have a BRAND NEW roof (not a half new/half old roof) with has been properly installed and should protect our small community for years to come. 

                Finally, every day I was on-site to oversee this project.   I got up on the roof and took over 400+ pictures of this project (so I could show any homeowner who might have questions about how the roof was constructed).   I wanted to share pics with you but it appears Angieslist does not allow this (or at least I don't see where to upload pics).   I had 17 key pictures for you which I felt would help show the progress and overview of this large project.

"I couldn’t be happier with the siding work Ideal Siding did. The crew was polite, respectful, and clearly knew what they were doing. The whole thing was handled professionally, and everything was wrapped up quickly. I’d absolutely recommend them to anyone thinking about new siding."

"It went great! Jerry diagnosed the problem right away. When the roof was reshingled 10 years ago, there was a portion of the roof where the roofers used too much pressure with the nail gun. This portion started to leak. Jerry recommended we just replace this one portion and his roofers could blend it all together. They came and did the work and now it's fixed! In fact, they showed me the rusty nails they pulled from this portion of the roof. The original company I used is no longer in business. I am so glad that Jerry could repair this without me having to replace the whole roof!"

"I purchased the Big Deal for roof maintenance, but Larry informed me that my roof was too damaged to qualify. It is very very old and has a major leak. Instead, he gave me a quote for repair or for a new roof. I appreciated that he did not waste my time in performing the maintenance included in the package, which would not have been helpful for my situation. He seemed very knowledgeable and straight-forward and did not talk down to me. He spent his time evaluating the roof and showing me exactly what he was talking about, despite the intense heat."

"Professional, were at job site when they said they would be, honest; Jeff showed us throughout the job, what damage there was and what they were planning to do. Very helpful with alternate suggestions. Gave us choices and prices of materials so we could choose what we wanted. We would definitely recommend and use TipTop Roofing and Home Improvement again. Try them; you won’t be sorry!"

FAQs for wood shake or composite roofing installation and replacement projects in North Charleston, SC

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.
