Q: How long does a cedar shake roof last?

• <div><p>When installed and maintained properly, a cedar shake roof should last up to 60 years. Severe weather and <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/10-things-check-your-roof-after-high-winds.htm">high winds will damage your roof</a>, reducing its life span. Expect a shorter life span if the roofer didn't use top-grade material, didn&rsquo;t have cedar shake expertise, didn&rsquo;t create the proper ventilation, or didn&rsquo;t use the correct fasteners. Keeping up with maintenance will help it last longer. It&rsquo;s also a good idea to get roof inspections on a regular basis to help spot repairs before they become major issues.</p></div>

Q: What’s the difference between wood shakes and shingles?

• <div><p>While the terms are often used interchangeably, wood shakes and wood shingles have notable differences, primarily in their manufacturing and appearance. Wood shingles are machine-cut on both sides, resulting in a smooth, thin, and uniform product. In contrast, wood shakes are typically hand-split or sawed on only one side, giving them a more textured, natural, and rustic appearance. Due to these manufacturing differences, shakes are generally thicker, heavier, and less uniform than shingles. They are also more expensive. Homeowners seeking a more rustic aesthetic often choose shakes, while those preferring a more uniform look may opt for shingles. Both are installed in an overlapping pattern to create a durable, weather-resistant roof.</p></div>

Q: What temperature is too cold to replace a roof?

• <div><p>In most cases, below 40 degrees Fahrenheit is too cold to replace a roof. The cold affects the shingles, making it more difficult to adhere them to your roof. It also becomes dangerous for contractors to get up on your roof in the cold weather, as there can be ice and slush causing surfaces to become slippery.</p></div>

Q: Can I hang rafters without a birdsmouth cut?

• <div><p>Some people prefer to use connectors consisting of galvanized metal to replace the birdsmouth cuts on the rafter board. Common names for these metal pieces include hurricane ties and variable-pitch connectors. Making birdsmouth cuts is more cost-effective than purchasing these connectors for each rafter. However, because making large birdsmouth cuts to accommodate extra-wide exterior walls can weaken the rafter, a connector may be the better option in some cases.</p></div>

"The contract session was with Stephan Boyer. He was very through and informative. We knew exactly what we were getting and what to expect. Chris Renda and his crew showed up as promised. They showed up with all materials and immediately started work. The crew took no breaks and barely took time for lunch.. Chris Renda kept us infomed of everything going on.He found that our dormers had not been wrapped or waterproofed so he removed all the siding and began wrapping and waterproofing the dormers for us! The crew took 5 days of hard nonstop work installing our beautiful new patina green metal roof. We are completely satisfied! !
