"Austion was fantastic! He explained the entire process from start to finish was able to get my entire roof paid for by insurance! It was super painless! He even had an option for my really high deductible that definitely relieved my stress. Highly recommend!"

From evaluation of roof condition and or damage, to working with the insurance adjuster to help determine replacement over repair options, Dunlop Roofing was top notch and did a wonderful job installing my new roof in just one day. An awesome company that I fell comfortable recommending."

"Gamaliel is very professional and does quality work. I was very pleased and satisfied with his work, hands down. I have girded him for a second project to refinish and paint my porch poles. Not only did he do an excellent job, he replaced one of the poles that was off centered by the builder! I would highly recommend Gamaliel for ALL of your home improvement needs."

"Pleasant to deal with: From the moment they stopped by to check out the project. Started measuring on the spot. I received an estimate within days. Once a date was scheduled, they promptly arrived. They removed cedar shake shingles, installed the vinyl, removed all debris--all in one day. I am very pleased with their work. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Elite Contracting."

"The crew from Workhorse was top notch. The crew came in on time everyday. They were polite, friendly, cleaned up the area and did a fantastic job. I had them replace two bathtubs and shower surrounds with hardware. I also had tile put in above the surrounds. I would absolutely call them again. Thank you Corey, Chris, Phil and Justin!"

Roofing questions, answered by experts

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.

Moving a chimney is possible, but it is a very complex process that requires professional expertise, knowledge of building codes, and safety protocols. Most homeowners find it easier to remove the fireplace and build a new fireplace and chimney in the new location of your home. Talk to your chimney pro about all your options, their costs, and pros and cons. 

Stripping existing shingles and installing a new shingle roof takes a professional one to two days, and sometimes up to three days for larger roofs. Additional safety measures necessary for steep roofs can extend the timeframe even further, as do added measures, like replacing roof decking or reinforcing your roof structure to support heavier materials like slate or clay.

Most traditional lenders will not loan against a house with a leaking roof, and some lenders won’t lend against a home with a roof near the end of its lifespan. If the roof on your new home is in poor condition, you may need to have the seller offer a credit for a roof replacement after closing, or you can opt for a renovation loan—also called a 203k loan—to bundle the house and the roof replacement into one loan.

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.
