"They did the job as requested originally and stopped the leak, yes. Super Nice people, however charged me $500 just to come out from 2 hours away in a emergency. After realizing it was needed to open up the plastic of course it was all wet ( the insulation) I requested it all to be removed and replaced with new installation. And taped back up. They did not remove the old insulation they did however use some of my 2 inch foam and tape to basically hold it in place. So all in all a $8.99 piece cost me $600 for the whole job they did. I'm not impressed, but I'm glad the leak stopped. I will still have to go under there and fix the insulation the right way. When it's warm enough."

FAQs for wood shake or composite roofing installation and replacement projects in Winn, ME

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.
