"I had roof damage along the eves from heavy snow last winter. My home is in McCall. I called several local roofers, and they appeared to be too busy to call me back. I used Angi's list for the first time and E&H contacted me. They added my repairs to other jobs they had in McCall. They kept me informed and got the job done. E&H honored their estimate and did an excellent job. They will be my first call for any roofing needs in the future."
"ID Roofing responded within a few hours after discovering a leak in our dining room ceiling. The water was a result of an area on the roof where an eave had been improperly installed years earlier. Our was a minor job from a cost perspective to other major roof repairs, but they did the work in a professional manner and in the time frame they proposed. They also came in at the estimated amount. If needed, will use them again."
"They were here when they said. Finished the roofing on time. The cleanup was excellent. Would highly recommend them. I have the nicest roof in the neighborhood!"
"Cobex did a great job replacing my old roof from the initial call to final cleanup. They were very responsive in getting all of the details right Ahead of time, and were prepared for every question."
"The DaBella representative Donald Davidson came to my house and inspected my roof. He showed me actual photos of the damage and explained how the new roof is constructed and how it functions with the vent system. Which is really an amazing system. I will recommend this company as I find Donald Davidson and this company very professional and innovative."
"Significantly better price than competitor without the sales pressure. Very fast completion of project and the installers were quiet and courteous around the house. Definitely recommend Straightline Design for roofing needs."

While you technically can add a roof over shakes or shingles, it’s not a good idea. Roofing over existing roofing creates a moisture barrier underneath the new roof and since the trapped material is wood, you can expect a moisture problem. While you could get away with installing a new roof over asphalt or steel, wooden roofs should be removed, new underlayment installed, and the new roof installed over that. Also, the extra weight would add strain to your roof structure.
The average cost to winterize a house is about $250, but it can range from $65 to $1,000 depending on the type of work that needs to be done. For homeowners that are experienced DIYers, it can save quite a bit on costs. However, you shouldn’t attempt tasks you aren’t familiar with or are potentially dangerous.
The short answer is, yes, cedar shakes do last longer than asphalt shingles. But the long answer is, it depends on maintenance. Asphalt shingles last about 20 years, while cedar shingles typically last about 30 years with proper maintenance. If they are very well maintained and installed in an area with a mild, drier climate, they can last up to 50 years.
Depending on the condition of your roof, you may be able to add flashing to it. If you’re looking for a way to maintain its integrity while saving some money, you should ask a roofing pro if this is an option. Keep in mind that if your roof is in poor shape, a full replacement may be necessary before flashing is installed.
A square of shingles covers 100 square feet and usually ranges from 150 to 240 pounds. It all depends on the material and type of shingle.
