A residential homeowner right here in Kent called us for a free estimate on replacement of his existing cedar shake roof. He wanted to deal with a local business, and a neighbor recommended using Pro Roofing NW. His roof featured a flat roof deck, and he wanted to add some natural lighting to his home to reduce lighting costs. This customer also wanted our roofers to address some issues with his gutter drainage.
Our Kent roofing contractor provided this customer with a comprehensive free estimate on the same day as the evaluation appointment. The quote included removal of the existing roof, installation of the Presidential TL Ultimate architectural luxury shingles, and laying 50 mil PVC on the flat roof. To address this customer's request for natural lighting, we recommended installing two 10" Velux Suntunnels in the main entry, and new continuous aluminum gutters were recommended.

When should I replace my cedar shake roof?
