"So grateful to Clearview Roofing and Kristine for helping my husband and I with our roofing project. We were definitely in need of a replacement especially with this random weather we’re having here in LA. She was very easy to contact and get ahold of, and more importantly was willing to help with any questions we had. Never once felt like a rushed phone call or any aggression. She was very professional and thorough with it all. I Highly recommend Clearview Roofing!"

"Contracted Federal Building and Roofing with Richard and his team after Listening to Richard's suggestions during the estimate. Had bad water damage to many Rafter Tails as well as a severe leak in the garage, Had several Contractors out for estimates some wanting to go a much more expensive route to repair the damaged wood on the Rafters as well as suggesting a complete Torch down on the entire roof which was not needed, which came with a less than desirable Warranty along with higher costs. Richard gave me peace of mind with his knowledge and suggestions which in turn provided a much longer Warranty and cheaper more effective route to repairing the damaged Rafter tails,all at a very reasonable price compared to other estimates. Any Contractor should have been able to provide me with these suggestions and alternatives but failed to do so. Richard and his team were Professional, polite,cleaned up thoroughly each and every day and completed the job on time as scheduled."

"Excellent communication from the first meeting to look at the roof, through establishing the contract, scheduling, and completing the work. There was unexpected additional action required at the end of the project and, Rene, the Superintendent, followed up and had that completed ASAP. I also want to comment that the roof replacement was done on my parents' home in S.Calif. I live in the Seattle area. I had hoped to be there during the roof replacement but the timing was such that I could not be. Rene was accessible to me by phone or email if I had questions or was working through details on behalf of my parents. He always responded in a timely manner. Rene also went above and beyond by taking pictures of each stage of the project, emailing them to me with updates. My parents asked me to be on point so much of the communication came to me, yet Rene also kept my parents' updated. Jordan Roofing is professional, timely, and clean up was thorough. Excellent customer service and high quality work. Even the city roof inspector commented that Jordan Roofing Company does excellent work. I highly recommend Jordan Roofing Company."

"Roofing Angels exceeded all my expectations! Jonathan and his crew were professional, polite, and extremely knowledgeable. From the initial inspection to the final clean-up, everything was handled seamlessly. Jonathan kept me updated throughout the entire process, ensuring there were no surprises. The work was completed right on schedule, and the craftsmanship is top-notch. I was especially impressed with how clean they kept the worksite—no nails or debris left behind, which was a big deal for us since we have kids and pets. Their pricing was competitive, and the quality of materials they used was excellent. Overall, a stress-free experience with a fantastic outcome. I highly recommend Roofing Angels for anyone in need of a roof replacement."

"I called around to a bunch of companies, and most made things sound complicated or too pricey. Green Ladder Roofing was the complete opposite. They handled everything, from financing to cleanup, and kept me in the loop the entire time. The roof came out so clean and well done that it feels like a brand-new house"

"We needed someone to inspect our roof, we had the solar guys breaking a few tiles when they installed the solar system. So we called the roof patch guy, he replaced 5-6 tiles, good we had some extra available , he resealed and painted the pipes and the vents. Reasonable pricing, fast and reliable service. I would recommend him."

FAQs for wood shake or composite roofing installation and replacement projects in South Pasadena, 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.
