"The process up to the QA Inspection was excellent. People were friendly and knowledgeable. Austin was excellent at giving honest answers to all our questions. When I asked him one he couldn’t answer he didn’t try to BS his way through, he simply said he didn’t know and then proceeded to make calls until he got an answer. At the Pre-install inspection we were told the install crew would arrive between 8-10. The install crew chief was very surprised to hear that when he arrived at 7. The installation was also excellent. Done and dusted by 4PM. The QA inspection cost you an excellent rating. It was little more than a high pressure sales pitch to replace my aluminum siding with vinyl. I just spent $20K on a new roof and he pressured us to spend another $40K on something that doesn’t need to be replaced. Not cool. I would definitely recommend Power, but with a caveat on the QA inspection."

"Great. John Krause was professional, timely and willing to provide advice, even when we weren't going to use him for a task. We do plan to have him back to install new gutters, under-floor insulation and, perhaps, raise the house by a foot. Highly recommended."

"Sam stopped by my house one day and mentioned that there was an issue with my roof and that Priceless Home Improvement would help be with the entire process to replace it at no cost to me. At this time, I had so many other obligations going on that did not have the time or energy to take on another thing. He was so persusaive that I went ahead that signed up to have the roof replaced. Priceless took it from there. They handled everything from meeting the inspector from the insurance company to the final replacement of the roof. the work was outstanding and this whole process was painless with Priceless Home Improvement. I would recommend Sam and Priceless Home Improvement to anyone interested in going with a reliable company to replace their roof."

FAQs for wood shake or composite roofing installation and replacement projects in Patuxent River, MD

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.
