BBB = better business bureau.

cedar roofing is relatively expensive and it requires maintenance. You could easily replace them with the most cost effective asphalt shingles these days... around $4k to $6k + tax.

唔該晒咁多位 LYK！～

呀。。。其實駛唔駛話一定喺夏天先鋪得嫁？

Normal size house? Where do you live? Vancouver or Burnaby? Normal Burnaby size is much larger already.

4k to 6k??? that's a little low even for shingles these days.

If you have a roof around 2000 sq ft, be prepared to pay 8-10k to convert from cedar to shingles.

Nobody will work on your roof when it's raining, it's too dangerous!

我住喺 Vancouver嫁～有個鄰居哩輪鋪咗新 cedar木屋頂，佢話大慨＄16k喎。。。中國人 contractor, 話包 warranty, 究竟 warranty 係可唔可靠嫁？會唔會過一兩年就閃人嫁？

作者: shutterbug 時間: 2009-8-11 11:13

warranty if not from large reputable companies, like Sears, Home Depot, don't expect too much...haha

if you're willing to pay that amount, also consider aluminum roofing

作者: hium 時間: 2009-8-11 20:46

aluminum屋頂? 係點嫁？好似未見過咁嘅？

作者: 華美子 時間: 2009-8-11 22:24

我地本來都係用cedar wood的，一換換左 Shingle，因為 Cedar 太貴 afford唔起。

有介紹, OB Roofing, 我13年前揾過佢地, 兩年前也揾過佢地換而家住緊間屋, 信得過,
not sure if they do cedar. Ask them to come and give you suggestions. Their backlog is 1-2 months. That means you have to wait for 1-2 months. Winter time is 3-4 months because of rain. Usually, good Roofers has long backlog. Sears or other big names they have short wait time but they charge a lot. For those whose roof is leaking, they don't have any choice. Sounds like you have time to wait and shop around, give them a call. Quote is free.

Aluminum roof lasts very long, people say 40-50 years. But it is the most expensive one and mostly use in commercial buildings. Some residential houses use it but not very common. It is a big job and you may need to reinforce the roof before doing that. I will say if you don't know much about it, do not consider.

In addition, Aluminum roof is very noise when rain. Not a good idea for Vancouver

作者: hium 時間: 2009-8-12 08:53

oh 原來係咁嘅～～～多謝你嘅意見真係好似好多野要注意嫁喎。。。

真係要就圍問多啲先得喇！

作者: shutterbug 時間: 2009-8-12 09:23

Noisey aluminum roof is the old tech. New alum roof is much better and you don't need reinforcement if you already have cedar. Price is not cheap but it's really good quality, probably the last roof to replace in your lifetime.

I had a friend he need to 整Cedar木屋頂, and got a quote from 唐人 roof contractor for $16,000. Also got a quote from 鬼佬 for $30,000.....
Almost double....

What is the big different came from?

Actually, roughly how much to 整Cedar木屋頂 for a normal size house??

作者: dmnf 時間: 2009-8-12 21:02

Usually the price different is due to insurance and warranty.  Big names like Sears has very  good guarantee.  In case there is problem, small contractors just walk away from it and you can only suit them in small claim court.  Big names since they have to cover themselves, they have to mark up a lot in order to do that.  Also, workmanship makes some different.  Most owners won't be able to inspect the job so I will say don't go for cheap ones.

You should get at least 3 quotes and compare their estimates.  I only know Shingle for a normal size house is $5K-7K.  Cedar is much more expensive.

Also, I was told cedar roof can be chemically treated before it reaches its end of life so that it can last 5-8 more years.  If you haven't done it, check it out.

Thanks for your info

作者: shutterbug 時間: 2009-8-13 11:07

If you have money, then doesn't matter cedar, shingle, or metal.

But if you want the best value, go for shingles la, they last long now, "rated" for around 30 years. Some are even 40 years.

Aluminum reflects heat...

作者: dmnf 時間: 2009-8-13 21:52

Roof 同 ceiling 之間有attic and thick insulation.  保暖隔熱, 屋頂物料對室內温度應該冇太大関係

重有換屋頂提議, since it is a big investment, especially cedar or Al., you can hold back the roofer 50% after they finish the job and then hire a house inspector to QA the job.  The inspection fee for just roof inspection should be $100-200.  Peace of mind.  However, don't expect an inspector can check everything.  All of these should be stated in the contract.

Therefore, if I had to do cedar roof, I would find a reputable one.  Or switch to common material like shingle.
