"So far only Earhart Roofing has submitted a proposal. The other never answered, and Earhart wanted $5000 which I would like to get a couple more proposals cause I think they are pretty expensive. Can you recommend a couple more for me to check out please?"

"I would highly recommend Greener Shingles. The owner (David) was very responsive in submitting a bid. His price was more than reasonable. We settled on a date and the crew showed up on time. The job took a bit longer than initially anticipated due to some extra work needed to replace some lost shingles near the crown. Even though the job took a little longer than initially anticipated, David stood by his original quote. He also went above and beyond expectations by picking up shingle scraps scattered around the lawn from the winter's windstorms. I highly recommend Greener Shingles for their responsiveness, quality of work, sticking to their quoted price, and the extra service in cleaning up when done. I would not hesitate to use them again."

"Technician came to the house and analyzed the problem. It was determined that the cost of repair was over the allowable Choice Home Warranty limit and it should be replaced. Choice Home Warranty issued their replacement cost. This cost was unacceptable and I challenged their figure. After some negotiation I was offered an increased settlement amount. I still balked at their offer but I was told to take it or repair my old microwave. I finally accepted their amount, even though it is still well below what it will cost me to replace the unit. I might add that the existing microwave has the convection feature and I want to replace with same features. The cost that I will receive also does not include any removal, disposal or installation costs. At this time I am debating whether I will continue with Choice Home Warranty or consider other options."

FAQs for wood shake or composite roofing installation and replacement projects in Whittier, AK

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.
