Make your roof look rustic with cedar shakes
I always dreamed of a rustic looking house. When the time came to install a new roof over my place, I took an opportunity and started looking for roofing companies Streamwood, which could present me with a satisfying solution. When I stumbled upon Nico Roofing, I knew that was it. They offered cedar shakes. Actually, my first contact with Nico roofers could become a subject for an anecdote. It took a while before Nico’s roofers explained to me the difference between shakes and shingles. I thought both terms referred to the same thing. I was really surprised when I saw how much they differ. Lucky me that I found such patient roofing contractors, who pointed out that wood shingles are sawn and wood shakes are made from split log. Well, I loved that rough, rustic look of the second option so the choice was pretty simple.

Perfect contractors for all your roofing needs
When we discussed all of the necessary details of my roofing undertaking, guys promptly got to work. What I really appreciated was that they put protective tarps over shrubbery and lawn that surrounds my house. Well, it’s not some professionally designed landscape but I’m quite attached to it. I know that such practice should be customary but that’s not always the case. For that only I can honestly recommend Nico services to any of my garden loving friends who look for roofing companies in Streamwood. But it’s not everything. I loved as well speed and efficiency of my roofing contractors. They dealt with everything so quickly that I was barely able to observe the whole process. And last but not least – price. Cedar shakes aren’t the cheapest covering option but I found highly affordable. And my house looks great, no less. All in all, great service at a great price.
