I can’t rate these guys high enough! They ripped off our 5 year-old roof (installed by another contractor) which failed because of a manufacturing error. The previous roofer was ok, but what a difference! The Shake Guys were extraordinary! From their fair bid, to their careful attention to details, extensive knowledge and experience and their conscientious cleanup, this re-roofing job (November 2024) was excellent! At times they had 15 people working on the 5,000 square foot roof. But everything was extremely well co-ordinated. We can confidently recommend The Shake Guys without reservation!

Very efficient once the long wait for materials was over. They brought a crew of about 10-15 guys and our very large cedar roof was completed in a little over a week. Julio was a great resource and made sure clean up was done well.

Our experience with Chad Treutler from Shake Guys has been great! Chad took his time and explained thoroughly what work we needed to have done. Chad explored repair options & each associated cost. We did not feel rushed, the price was appropriate for the job & was good for us. We’re completely pleased with their work. We definitely recommend Shake Guys & would use them again!

Shake Guys did a magnificent job installing our new EcoStar composite roof system and snow guards. From the initial estimate to the final inspection they kept us informed of the entire process and what to expect at every stage of the project. Sal, the project manager, was very experienced and informative yet also very professional and personal. The final result was amazingly aesthetic and adds not just curb appeal but real value to our home, it reduced our homeowners insurance by approximately 10% and surely makes us the envy of our neighbors, well done!!

I could not be happier with either the Shake Guys or the work that they did for me. Originally, I contacted them to provide the yearly treatment for the cedar shake roof on my recently acquired house. Various issues arose and we agreed that replacing to the roof with more sustainable, fire resistant, fabricated materials would be the best choice for my needs. Their patience with the process, the HOA, and weather have been beyond expectations. Because we had numerous delays from my end, I worked with many of the staff at Shake Guys between my first calls in August 2023 & completion in April 2024. Josh and his team were amazing in their work & interactions with me.They did a beautiful job, left my property in pristine shape, and worked with numerous other trades to coordinate completion in less time than anticipated. I could not be happier. Each contact has been terrific
