"A leak during the last storm made it clear our flat roof in San Francisco needed more than another repair. Sean from Imperia Roofing & Exteriors came out, explained everything clearly, and helped us make the call. He stayed responsive the whole time and the job moved quickly. No issues since."

"Rhinos Roofing exceeded my expectations. Miguel was able to realistically assess the job and provide me with a detailed quote. His team executed the work flawlessly. I purposely waited until the bulk of this winters rain had past before posting a review. Clearly a successful roofing job. He is also a really nice person and I have no doubt that he would be a very reasonable person to work with had any issue come up. My new roof is fantastic and it looks nice too. Pricing was reasonably as well. God Bless Rhinos Roofing! "

"My wife and I realized we needed to replace a portion of our roof , a spanish tile. We contacted NewHaus roofing and construction company and were warmly greeted by Joseph one of their representatives. He helped us negotiate a great price along with the advice from his supervisor Gregory. We chose a beautiful terra cotta replacement and the work was diligently completed in two days thanks to the craftsmanship of Pedro and his crew. We are thankful for Joseph who was with us through our project from start to finish. We would recommend this company to anyone considering a roof replacement."

FAQs for wood shake or composite roofing installation and replacement projects in San Rafael, 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.
