We need to replace our 14+ year old cedar shake roof and need to know what to look for in materials (composites, no more cedar!) and the types of installation. >> Isn't this a coincidence! We need a new roof as well, and had no clue where to begin. We have had some remodeling done in the past, and called that contractor with whom we have a great relationship, and in whose skills and integrity we have knowledge and experience. He recommended a roofer to us, and we simply trust that roofer as we did the other contractor. Our estimate is $6000 +, depending on what he finds when the original roofing is stripped down. We have flat roofs here in the Southwest, which don't last too long. There ARE new methods today, and new materials. But since we cannot hope to become overnight experts in this field, why not find a trustworthy other person as we did and have faith!!! Clare
