"Everyone from the salesperson Ramona to office staff and the guys working on the roof were very accommodating and friendly. I had quotes from other companies that were less money. We felt that the service and warranty from Middle Creek Roofing was far superior to the other companies. They had our roof done in one day! Great Job to all involved!!!"

"I hired Home Run Roofing to replace by roof and gutters, and I could not be more satisfied with the overall experience. They offered multiple options for my project, all of which were affordable and competitive. Reviewing and selecting a work estimate and applying for financing was a 2025 customer service experience (as opposed to a CS experience expected 10, 15, or 25 years ago), which in part distinguished them from other companies I met with. When I had any questions during the project it was very easy to reach my my contact at Home Run Roofing to answer my question. The crew assigned to the job were outstanding. The work was completed within two days (one day for the roof, the second for the gutters) and everything was thoroughly cleaned up afterwards. Since the project's completion I have received multiple compliments about how beautiful the new roof and gutters look. "

"I've hired them twice, first for the roof, second for siding. They weren't the absolute cheapest, but I'm more inclined to trust Amish owned businesses. Charge was exactly = to estimates. Roofing job, Amos actually moved up the scheduled date when a slot opened in his schedule so that was cool. Siding job there was a problem with the parts order, so I was going to have to wait 2 weeks for them to finish, but it bugged Amos so much that he drove to Maryland (I think? that, or Virginia) to get what he needed, and they finished the job the next day. Honored the workmanship warranty when I had to call one thing in. Communication isn't always the best, but it wasn't an issue."

FAQs for wood shake or composite roofing installation and replacement projects in Reading, PA

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.
