My roof is due for replacement and I'm wondering if I should stick with
cedar shake (what it has now) or go for composition roofing. What are the
pros and cons?

If I'm the only house with composition roofing in the same complex, how
would that affect the resale price of my house and of my neighbor's house?


I would not worry about the neighbors house. But that is me.
Shakes can be bunch more expensive than composition. Do you have an HOA? If
so then you had better check with them before spending any money. My last
home had a HOA and they were extremely anal about certain things.
Best bet is call several licensed contractors and ask for bids based on what
you want.
