"It was around $15,000, plus or minus $1,000. We give them an ?A?, that?s why we are using them again. I wasn?t in the bidding process, but we were okay with it. I don?t remember if there were any issues. There was probably about 10 people in their crew over the course of the project. It took about a week.

They explained everything, there were no surprises and they did the job with some good quality. Left the area spotless. I didn?t really come into contact with the workers, they were up on the roof. I think they gave us an Angie?s List discount too. We got $500 off the last one and we?re getting $500 off the next one. That also helps too."

"Rick came over and addressed each and every issue that had been raised by the other contractor. He said none of these concerns interfered with the safety or integrity of our roof, and explained everything in a way that a layperson such as me would understand. In short, Rick said our roof is in great shape and doesn’t need to have anything done at all. He could have simply agreed with the other contractor and racked up more business for himself if he had wanted to do so; instead he didn’t charge me a cent for his time and effort although I would have been very happy to pay for the peace of mind he gave me. I’m happy to recommend RC Roofing for anyone who needs to get an honest expert opinion."

"I dealt with Leon De Anda for my roof work. Leon was honest and professional and very informative about what could be done with my roof. He offered me a few options and also asked me if there were anything specific I wanted done. I basically described what I wanted and he curtailed his bid to what I was looking for at the best price. I liked the fact that he was honest and straight forward without playing any games or try and screw me over. In the end, I decided to get a whole new roof, down to even getting all new plywood. The men who came to work on the roof were competent and professional. They went to great lengths to only bother me when it was necessary. Everyday they made a mess but at the end of the day they would always clean it up. I thought they were very professional. Leon was not at my house everyday but he was always just a phone call away. He was very accessible. Once the work was completed, Leon and myself walked around the property and inspected the work. He made sure that I was completed satisfied before everything was finalized. Protecta Roofing made a big impression on me based on the way they started and completed this job. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to get some roof work done or even some general contracting work done."

"Better than perfect! If you want a perfectly installed new roof, at a reasonable rate, Cal Roof, Inc. is your best option. Doug Barry, the company's owner, is a terrific person and very honest. You could go elsewhere, but why would you? I make this review as someone who is a perfectionist himself, and rarely writes good reviews for anyone."

Customers say: True professional

"I live in a mobile home so I had to get prk approval and also the permit is issued by the state not the city. Exclusively roofing took care of the permits for me and was extremely efficient. They showed up on time we’re very efficient and had the job done quickly. Not only that but when they were done they used a magnet on my lawn to make sure no nails were left behind. The price was very reasonable and the job done was great. Kendall keep me apprised in every step. I would highly recommend to any one needing their roof worked on."

FAQs for wood shake or composite roofing installation and replacement projects in San Diego, CA

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.
