"Roof was 25 years old and was due for replacement. I also had old LP fiberboard siding that needed replacing in some sections mainly the chimneys. The rest was ok and I couldn't see spending the money to replace it all. George Keller did a terrific job on the roof and worked with me to match the LP siding using James Hardie siding. Carl the estimator took his time gave me a detailed estimate with pictures showing all the sections of siding that would be replaced. George Keller had done other houses in our neighborhood and one neighbor, an architect, used them, so that speaks to their reputation. I would highly recommend them. They are very efficient and neat and will finish your job in a day or two."

"My issue was water running down between the exterior and interior wall.  The contractor diagnosed the cause as frost getting in under old roof shingles that needed to be replaced.  Old roof was less than 20 years old and was only one layer deep.  The other part of the issue was poor insulation in the attic.  The recommended solution was to replace the roof on house and install an air vent and blow insulation into the attic.  Replace the roof on the garage was incidental since they were going to be there anyway but was not considered a part of our problem or our solution for the water.    
The steps were:
  •  - Remove the entire shingled roof and a portion of the plywood that got wet.
  •  - Blow insulation into the attic through the opening created by removing the plywood to avoid having to go through the house.
  •  - Install new state of the art roof with barrier and shingles.
  •  - Replace garage roof
  •  - Replace trim around house and garage.
faction to heart. Workers showed up on time every day.
All the work went as planned for the insulation, house roof, vent and trim.
The garage roof presented more challenges.  The trim was put on in two pieces, because "they did not have the right trim cutter to use on piece".  Nails were placed all over the trim and looked very unprofessional.  House walk around also showed issues with the finishing touches on the main roof but mostly the garage.  That was a bit frustrating since we only did the garage because they were there anyway, arrugghh.
One call to the Company and our Salesman was back at the house, reviewed our photos and did a walk around as well.  Within one week all the issues were resolved.  I was pleasantly surprised that the issues were addressed so quickly and completely.  Good company that clearly takes customer satisfaction to heart.  I believe that any contractor will have issues with customer expectation compared to work performed.  The real test of a quality contractor is how they mitigate those issues.  Acorn did a very good job in this regard.  I would recommend them to anyone looking for work on their roof or insulation.

"Alexander contacted me within minutes of submitting my request on Angi. He quoted me a price, I hired him and he came out the next day to do the required work. The gutters are perfectly cleaned and he cleaned up any debris that was created. Alexander showed me an area that needs repair and made a couple of valid recommendations. Finish Line Roofing and Contractor will be the company i use for all of my future gutter and roofing needs."

"The salesman, Bill Percy, was very friendly and knowledgeable. He explained the whole roofing process in detail. It sounded so good that we thought the price would be higher. But it ended up to be a very reasonable price for very high quality materials and work. All work was completed in one long day. Everyone was safe and professional. The yard looked spotless afterwards and the roof looks great. Another person came to inspect the next day, in case we had any problems or issues, which we did not. Would highly recommend this company."

"Responded quickly to all my inquiries, detailed estimate and warranty. Explained everything in detail, not just brief overview of what would be done as the other four estimates I got. It was a big job ripping everything to the beams, added plywood and GAF shingles and gutters. Repaired anything that may have been damaged by accident."

"I went to Angi trying to find a reputable company to change my siding, roof, and gutters. I trusted my gut to go with Home Genius because of their reviews not only on Angi but on google as well. I reached out to Home Genius and they were extremely quick to respond which was a great sign to me. Breanna was the one to respond ON HER HONEYMOON. I got a kick out of that ð . At the time of the sale, I was blown away by what Tre had presented to me. For each project, there was an incredible amount of knowledge thrown my way from both him, before I signed the dotted line, and Taylor the project manager when it came time to execute. Tre wasnâ t pushy or high pressure like a lot of other companies. When it came time to install the roof,siding, and gutters the crews did a most excellent job from start to finish and the clean up was unbelievable. Not a nail, not a piece of anything left behind. Each crew specialized in what they were there to install. Taylor would call me and visit every so often to check in and update me on progress with all of my projects. As Iâ m writing this, I canâ t help but thank everyone involved in making this outcome possible. Just look at my house! Itâ s BEAUTIFUL."

"We had our roof replaced in June. Carl's did an excellent job and the roof looks great! The workers were all great and they cleaned up the job perfect. Eric, the overseeing person at the job daily, was so knowledgeable. It was comforting knowing someone like him was there for the two days to visually overlook the job and inform us of what was going on. Our sales person, Will, was great as well. There were many calls and text that went back and forth before we decided to move forward and he answered all our questions. I highly recommend them."

FAQs for wood shake or composite roofing installation and replacement projects in Summit, NJ

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.
