"We had a damaged roof and siding from high winds. J Cwanger was fabulous! Jeff explained everything and helped us choose the right siding and color roof. His workers were courteous and fast. Cleanup was perfect. Everything was exactly how he described. I would highly recommend this company without hesitation."

"This experience was second to none! EVERYONE on the team was respectful, and professional throughout the entire project. The sales rep. and project manager carefully listened, and helped us decide on a roofing system that was right for our home. All materials were delivered on time, and before the project began, as promised. The supervisor arrived well before the roofing technicians. The lead technician, and technicians arrived on time, made the introductions, and immediately began the work. My home, and property were protected from the removal of roofing materials, at all times. There are often unforeseen issues that arise with construction projects, and I was consulted every step of the way, BEFORE any action was taken! My roof was completed on time. The technicians took pride in their craft, and their mastery was evident in the beauty of our new roof. The yard was left free of all roofing debris, it was if no one was ever there. My recommendation is an enthusiastic YES!"

Roofing questions, answered by experts

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.

Yes, shingles should overhang the drip edge, typically between 1/2-inch and 3/4-inch. An overhang shorter than 1/2-inch can allow wind-driven rain to get under the shingles and damage the roof deck or fascia. Conversely, an overhang longer than 3/4-inch increases the risk of shingles getting caught by strong winds, which can lead to roof uplift. Always check your local building code for exact overhang requirements in your area.

Yes, roof ridge caps are a necessary part of your roof system. Your roof ridge cap is at the peak of your roof, where two slopes of your roof meet. Roof ridge caps seal the seam and help protect your roof from water and debris, and because they’re pre-bent and thicker, they’re more suited to the job than regular roof shingles, which can break when bent.

Roof work is dangerous and exacting, and a misstep could lead to even more costly repairs, so we do not recommend DIYing. If you are dead set on giving it a go, practice safety measures. Wear a harness, only work during mild weather, and have a partner to help. Potentially DIY-friendly jobs include patching up small leaks, sealing areas around the chimney, and replacing a few shingles.

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.
