"Craftsman Roofing was highly recommended from a friend and surpassed expectations. They showed me roofing options that would match my siding and helped me through the entire process. The crew was excellent to work with and did a fantastic job. They respected my property, as well as my neighbors. I would highly recommend if you are searching for a roofing contractor."

"We requested quotes from contractors for the replacement of our home's original asphalt roof (three tab standard). Bachmans was very competitive. We appreciated their approach to inspection of the roof, discussion of details in the roof line and practices and features they use to provide a quality roof replacement. Chris Jameson worked with us on a second bid when we decided we wanted a different shingle than first proposed. Bachman's installs the major manufacturers and is certified as a quality installer for CertainTeed and GAF (perhaps others). We selected a CertainTeed Landmark Pro product with extended warranty. They use best practices such as site-fabricated soldered copper flashing. They gave us a couple days notice of the install date and arrived at 7AM and departed by around 5 PM. They did a fine job protecting foundation plantings and the house during construction and a very good job cleaning up (we have had roofs done on three houses and they did probably the best job in picking up). We had a small issue regarding the manufacturer of the ice and water shield underlayment material - Bachman's installed a non-CertainTeed product due to availability issues. Chris and his management contacted CertainTeed during the day of installation to provide us email documentation that the alternate product was acceptable. The chimney painting was with a high quality Sherwin Williams product - they came to clean it one day and back to paint the next. All the work looks good and after a couple rainstorms appears to be solid, as expected. As noted, we would consider using Bachman for other work based on this experience."

"Long Roofing went above and beyond when installing our roof and gutter. The job turned out more difficult than we thought it would be but Long Roofing made me feel comfortable and reassured that they would fix everything. Everyone involved from the salesperson to customer service listened to our needs and treated me with respect. The roof looks amazing. I don't want to get into price, but even though you may get someone less expensive, using Log Roofing was well worth a little extra cost"

Roofing questions, answered by experts

Building code allows 24-inch on-center spacing for roof trusses. However, you can install them on 12- or 16-inch centers to handle large loads or other exceptional circumstances. In cases such as covering a wide span or supporting alternative roofing materials, where a structural engineer needs to evaluate or create a design for your trusses, the plans will indicate the spacing. 

Before hiring a roofing contractor, it's wise to ask several key questions. Inquire if they are licensed for roof replacement and repair and if they hold any special certifications. Ask if they will be completing all the work themselves or subcontracting parts of it. It's also important to understand the project timeline, whether they will remove the old roof or place new shingles on top, and how they will handle cleanup after the project is complete. Finally, ask about warranties for both work and materials, what recourse you have if issues like leaks arise, and if they can provide customer references.

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.

Wood shake roofs are durable, energy-efficient, and offer a natural aesthetic. Composite options provide similar looks with less maintenance.

Look for certified local roofing contractors with plenty of experience working with cedar. There are also several important roofing questions to ask before choosing a roofer, including whether they are licensed, bonded, and insured. Once you’ve rounded up a few good candidates, compare estimates and hire whoever gives you the best bang for your buck.
