This was quite a project. We contacted about a dozen contractors with some replying quickly and others very slowly. The first showed up the next day with a verbal ball park of $18,000 to $20,000 and he was the first to get back to us with a bid of $62,000. Serveral others were in the $25,000 to $50,000 + range for cedar and 5 to 10,000 more for synthetic. there were 2 we almost went withbut finally Mr Flesch showed up and , even though his co was not on Angies list I checked some other references and my gut told me this guy knew his job did high level work fabricating all the copper himself and left the jobsite clean. It took longer then anticipated due to more rain but his original estimate of a week and a half with good weather was realistic and would have been met if the weather cooperated. He bid was what we paid Flesch will be back in the spring to do our barn and I highly recommend him although he is not the cheapest.
Description of Work: Replaced a cedar shake roof with new synthetic Da Vinci shakes. Work was done efficiently with minimal damage and that damage was quickly repaired. Charlie Flesch was slow returning my first call and it took a while to get an appointment. One reason was the rainiest year in a very long time. A second reason was he actually shows up frequently during the actual installation. He was hands on during the estimate going up on the very steep cedar roof and did not try to sell me by bad mouthing competition, promising to finish in 2 days or trying to sell us on new gutters( since the present ones would certainly be destroyed by the installation process, a pitch actually tried by one estimator.) We had quite a discussion on the DaVinci shake which is even more expensive than heavy splits. He is a DaVinci installer but does real cedar and real slate as well as fiberglass. He has done lots of DV slate but no shakes. I did lots of on line research and looked at samples of 5 other synthetic shakes and liked the DV shake. Charlie was able to get a great factory deal and we opted to take a chance on this 50 year guarantee product but worried what it would look like versus the sure thing cedar that we have had fo 25 years. It is now done and looks incredible and my hope is it looks as good 5 and 10 years down the road.
