"Working with Capital Palmetto Builders on the construction of vinyl siding, soffit, and fascia on my West Columbia, South Carolina home was a delight lately. My house has undergone a whole makeover from its days as a worn-out wood paneling and carpenter bee damage victim. My home looks more current and updated thanks to Alex and his crew, who also helped to ease my condition. The crew was really courteous to my property, on time, and very professional. They made sure everything was done to my liking and cleaned up the area after they finished. The whole look of my house has been much improved by the attention to detail, particularly around the soffits and fascia. The endeavor was made much more valuable by the substantial discount they provided. I am really happy with the outcome and heartily suggest Capital Palmetto Builders to anybody in need of excellent home remodeling services. Many thanks to Capital Palmetto Builders for completely remodeling my house! Visit Capital Palmetto Builders for further information about their staff and services."

"After Hurricane Helene the pressed board siding around our fireplace chimney was in bad shape. Adding to that was the fact the roofers who replaced our roof afterwards did not install proper flashing on our garage (which contacts the chimney) and it exacerbated the situation. Pressed board was peeling away from the structure, warped, and expanded from water intrusion and a number of areas. We wanted to replace the entire exterior of the chimney with Hardie Board and have any of the water damaged under layers replaced with OSB and have the entire structure wrapped. We received a number of competitive estimates, but the estimate from Umbrella was by far the lowest and included more work than the others. The owner, Eduardo, is knowledgeable, experienced, and very professional. He assured us that he could have all of the work done to proper standard and completed within 48 hours. We were not disappointed. His team of workers were quick, efficient, and hard-working. Thanks Umbrella!"

FAQs for wood shake or composite roofing installation and replacement projects in Columbia, SC

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.
