"We had water stains on the living room ceiling, close to where the ceiling meets the wall. They identified that the sky lights were likely the cause, and gave us an estimate to "patch" it, or to replace the skylights, thus giving us a choice in what would fit with our budget. They replaced our skylights quickly, and within the estimate. Ten months later, and no leaks!!"

"Had our roof replaced, looks like a clean install. Trey was easy to talk to and was very assuring. We'll see how the roof holds up against this weekend's snowstorm or whatever's coming our way. Yes I copy pasted my own review from Google Reviews."

"Completed Exteriors, LLC exceeded my expectations of a superior job replacing my roof. They even replaced 7 areas of my rotting roof and replaced it with new boards. They are licensed, insured and completely legitimate. In my personal opinion they gave me honest competitive estimates without trying to take advantage of me. My only advice that I can give you is to get at least 5 or 6 estimates before you choose. Complete Exteriors gave me about the same bid as 2 others companies. Don t sign any contracts until you received all your bids plus written estimates, plus have the actual funds available. I chose Complete Exteriors because there was no sales pressure, they seemed better prepared and gave more than one option to choose from the cheapest to the a better quality shingle on my house. I choose option 2 which was a better warranty, better quality shingle. The other 2 companies only gave me one option, too much sales pressure and too eager to push me to sign a binding contract after 3 business days. These two companies were just way too hungry to get my business and that gave me red flags to hold off. I checked out Complete Exteriors and found out that this company would sponsor and donate money for school sports events so kids can have the right equipment to play sports is okay is in my book. They gave back to the community and I like that."

"ExteriorMax provides exceptional work at a reasonable price. Their staff is communicative and easy to work with - explaining the work that needs to be done every step of the way. The crew on site for the roof installation was on time, courteous, and professional. The final product was beautiful, craftsmanship was excellent, and (importantly) cleanup was very well done. Replacing a roof can be a stressful project for a homeowner, but ExteriorMax made the process simple and ensured I felt well taken care of. I highly recommend ExteriorMax to anyone looking for a quality roof job done by exceptional people!"

"HCR did a great job with replacing our roof. The materials are high quality and the work (removing original roof, laying down new roof and cleaning up) was done efficiently and with great detail. HCR also offers an excellent warranty and was very thorough in explaining options and setting up the work. We would highly recommend!"

"Dan Wold of Roof Guy Inc. was fantastic. Overall I would say this was one of the most positive experiences I have EVER had with someone working on my house!! He is friendly, prompt, and really interested in helping you out, not just getting the job done. The estimate was very reasonable, partly because he was willing to let us (the homeowners) do a lot of the finishing work -- which a lot of larger firms won't do. He brought two more workmen who were equally competent and pleasant to work with. They worked with me to determine and adjust the best location for the skylight, and got it put in that day. Highly recommended."

FAQs for wood shake or composite roofing installation and replacement projects in Saint James, 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.
