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’t have cedar shake expertise, didn’t create the proper ventilation, or didn’t use the correct fasteners. Keeping up with maintenance will help it last longer. It’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: Is a cool roof worth it?

• <div><p>A cool roof can be worth it in the right climate. Cool roofs are excellent at reflecting solar heat away from your home, so if you live in a warm or hot climate, they can be a great roofing choice. Some cool roofing materials are even eligible for tax credits. However, they cost more than traditional roofing and don&rsquo;t retain heat as well as traditional roofing, so they&rsquo;re not ideal if you live in a cold climate.</p></div>

Q: How long should a shed roof last?

• <div><p>Most shed roofs can last between 15 and 30 years, although some roofing materials like slate and clay tile can last for 50 to 100 years. Choosing durable, waterproof roofing materials that can stand up to weather and the elements will help your shed roof last for years to come. Besides the noticeable signs that your shed roof needs to be replaced, it might also be worth replacing if it&rsquo;s near the end of its life span.</p></div>

Q: Do cedar shakes last longer than asphalt shingles?

• <div><p>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.</p></div>

Q: Can the shingles on the roof be repaired?

• <div><p>Depending on the type of damage your roof shingles have, you may be able to simply repair them without having to replace them. However, if there are more than a few to repair, replacement is likely the easier option. You may only need to replace a few of them. Repair shingles by applying roofing sealant directly under the shingle's damage and then directly over it. </p></div>

Tommy Rains was fantastic in his prompt response to our call, and his effective and humane removal of squirrels from our chimney. He did an excellent job repairing the chimney top where it was damaged. We really appreciated his knowledge and service, and whole-heartedly recommend him!

As expected, they did an excellent job. They were prompt, dependable, worked efficiently, and were knowledgeable about fireplace construction. They thoroughly cleaned the fireplace and chimney and made sure to clean behind the damper. We will definitely have them clean our fireplace again.
