"Paul gave me a very detailed estimate and explained the difference between all of the materials he works with, never trying to push me towards the more expensive ones. I have a Victorian house with different roof pitches, a turret and a wraparound porch. Also a garage with a carport and they replaced the roof on everything. He brought a crew of 7 who worked 12 hour days for 2 days and then finished up and installed gutters on a 3rd day. They were very professional and thorough. It was obvious they took pride in their work. They cleaned absolutely everything up when they were finished and my lawn looked better than before they started. I would highly recommend Perfection Roofing."

"We hired the boys to replace 3 skylights and our metal roof. the old Marvin skylights are no longer produced so they replaced them with Velux skylights of a different size. this, of course, required a retrimming of the interior opening. when I asked about this the boss, Paul, replied: we do not do trim carpentry. you will have to get someone else to do that. needless to say that I was irate. not only does the job look like hell, in one case I cannot even open it. the overall job was excellent but, if you plan to get skylights replaced, be sure that you have the internal trim work figured out beforehand. I would recommend a written contract."

"I spoke with Stephen who gave me an estimate for gutter cleaning and gutter guard installation. The cost was fair, and Stephen was able to arrange for the work to be done the same day. The job was done quickly and professionally. It was a pleasure dealing with this company, the process was as hassle free as it gets. I can recommend 1st Choice General Contracting without reservation, and look forward to using them on future projects."

"Those guys are true professionals. They were very responsive. They returned my initial inquiry call quickly and provided all the information that I was interested in. They quickly arrived for an estimate and did not pest me with emails or phone calls during the period of time while I was still shopping around. Their estimate was the best (I surveyed 3 different companies). At the end of the day I did not pay a penny extra from what they estimated. That is, they did not try to sell anything additional or play dumb (as others do) by saying.. "or there will be extra for this, extra for that...it is more expensive but worth it, etc...)The actual work was done exactly as I asked them to do. They were focused on what they were doing, they were quick but not rash, they didn't do any small talk they just did the job. That's it. We had a strong rainfall the same evening. It was the difference like a night and day.....In short, if you live in Capital region and need roof gutters installed - look no further. They are your company. I highly recommend them and certainly will use them again if need arises."

"The process was supposed to take 3 days, it was finally done in 8 days. The trash removal was sloppy. Because the roof was not properly covered and secured, there was a big roof leak. As a result my ceiling got damaged. I am still waiting for contractor to change wet insulation in attic and fix damage ceiling. Will follow up when the damages are fix."

FAQs for wood shake or composite roofing installation and replacement projects in Schenectady, NY

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.
