Em What are the average maintenance costs?

Why do nothing and wait for your roof to leak before installing a new roof? Give your shake roof proper maintenance every 5 years, and pay the fraction of the cost of a new roof! This all depends on the pitch, manufacturer, length of time between services, as well as the installation quality. A ballpark figure would be between $100 and $400 per year. Do you require our services? Our simple DIY che

cklist can give you some clues:

1. Curled shakes appear to be "lifting". Look from the street or out a bedroom window, they do not lay flat. The shakes that are curled also expose the inter ply roofing felt and after time can jeopardize the roofing system.

2. Decaying shakes appear "black" or a darker shade of grey than the other shakes on the roof, and may crumble when handled. Occasionally they form as a tear drop or vertical lines on the roof.

3. Ridge cap staples working themselves loose. Look at the ridge cap from the ground or out a bedroom window and concentrate on the staples that hold the ridge cap together. Eventually some of the ridge cap will crack and fall out not protecting the roofing system from the elements. Inspections

5 Year Maintenance
Pine has received very bad press lately. Don't be intimidated into re-roofing! The fact is all exterior wood products require some form of maintenance, and your roof is no exception. Pine is a fabulous product and will easily last for 25 years , provided it gets a little TLC every 5 years. Shake Experts will provide a general check-up and remedy any problems that might affect the longevity of your roofing system. An ounce of prevention = a pound of cure. Where a re-roof can run from $7,000 - $18,000, an average five-year service call will only cost between $500 and $2000. Shake Experts will help ensure that your roofing system lasts for 25 years and possibly beyond. You can rest assured you have Experts on the job! For Pine Shake Information

Why do shake roofs need maintenance?

A shake roof is a superior 2-ply roofing system; a layer of asphalt-saturated felt is installed over the roof decking to keep it water-tight, and the shakes are layered over top to help shed moisture and protect that felt from the elements. Over time natural wear and tear can occur on parts of the roof, while the majority of the roof still has plenty of service life left. Learn more here! https://shakeexperts.com/roof-maintenance/
