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  ...

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!

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

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.

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...
