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>

Is a roof replacement just shingles?

• <div><p>A roof replacement will usually include removal of your old roof, shingle replacement, and a new roof underlayment, but it may only include adding new shingles if you’re <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/problems-with-two-layer-shingles.htm">layering new shingles over the old shingles</a>. If you have signs of roof leaks or your roofer finds water damage to the roof decking underneath your old roof, it can also include replacement of the OSB or plywood decking that lays over your rafters and supports the roofing material above. </p></div>

Q: Does a solar roof replace an existing roof?

• <div><p>A solar roof can replace an existing roof. Solar panels fit on top of traditional roofs. In contrast, solar roofs that contain photovoltaic (PV) materials, like solar shingles and solar tiles, are standalone roofing systems installed as a main roof. In some cases, installers can place them on existing roofs and as part of new construction. Carefully assess and choose the right type of solar roof replacement for your home and needs.</p></div>

Q: What are the benefits of using natural slate for roofing?

• <div><p>Natural slate offers durability, fire resistance, low maintenance, and an unrivaled aesthetic, so it is often favored for premium architectural roofing designs.</p></div>

Q: Does a tile roof increase home value?

• <div><p>Yes, a tile roof will increase the value of your home more than an asphalt shingle roof. Not only do tile roofs look nicer and add more to your curb appeal, but buyers will understand that roof tiles last longer than most other materials, so they can expect minimal maintenance and a long roof lifespan after closing, which often means they&rsquo;ll be willing to pay more for a home with this roof option.</p></div>

Mr.Proctor and team were thorough, professional, and courteous. They did an amazing job of removing our chimney/fireplace, cleaned up, and protected our hardwood floors!

Chris was awesome. He was on time, friendly, and knowledgeable. His work was very clean. He cleaned and inspected the chimney. He explained what he was doing and then showed us how to use the fireplace when he was done. We will definitely call them again to have our chimney cleaned. Thank you

Went well. Ron explained everything, my chimney did not need to be swept and he offered various chimney cap options - I chose one that I felt would do the best job for my large double flue chimney. The scheduling was efficient and helpful, they were on time for both visits and the entire team...

The dryer was taking multiple cycles to dry. I anticipated having to purchase a new dryer, fortunately that was not the case. Matthew cleaned the vent (which is quite long), replaced the vent cap and cleaned out the dryer itself. My dryer is like new again!

Job was done on time for the quoted amount. They also recommended a good roofer to repair around where the chimney was removed. Overall, I was very satisfied with the work and would not hesitate to use them again for future projects.

Very thorough, very professional. Ran a number of tests to see what was causing the coolant to leak, and replaced the radiator cap (I know little about cars). They tested it further, but only charged me for cost of parts and labor. I will definitely use them again!

Called to confirm prior to arrival. Arrived early. Very professional. Protected floors, etc. Cleaned up after. Did not overly push extras like chimney caps. Explained how to build a better fire. Showed pictures before and after. Very pleased.

It is over a year since he did the repairs (and I took his suggestion repairing the cap) and everything is fine. I am very happy with his work. (He has a very dry sense of humor, but he is delightful, resourceful and very professional.)
