"This is who you want to do your roof! We had a full replacement, and I knew right away that I wanted Immortal Exteriors after consulting with Mark! He was so knowledgeable about the whole process! Very transparent, fair pricing, and went above and beyond! Repaired a gutter as well for me, that my dog ripped off after a chipmunk, as well as repaired a soffit! Really, an all around good human, who takes great pride in his company’s work! Oh and the whole process was SO fast! Clean up as well! I was worried about that with 3 dogs, but not a spec left on the lawn! HIGHLY recommend!"

"The new roof they installed had to be ripped off and replaced in several areas they installed shingles that were missing corners and had huge divots in them. The metal valleys were all dented up and had scratches all over them to replace them they had to remove new roofing as well and replace, some of the plywood that needed to be replaced was never done and roof still had soft spots, after repairs were made again water was leaking inside the soffits and has continued to still leak, the gutters leaked on the ends as well. They claim there waiting for Owen?s Corning to come look at the roof but it?s poor install that has lead up too the roof still leaking. I hired weather pro exteriors based on the sales guy explaining the process and trusting him stating they don?t use subcontractors but turned out they actually had subcontractors doing my roof and gutters leading to a hurry hurry work ethic because that?s how subcontractors get paid they have to hurry to make a buck. Do Not hire them"

FAQs for wood shake or composite roofing installation and replacement projects in Wauwatosa, WI

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.
