Our Cedar Shake Roofing Services

We offer several key services to meet different roofing needs. Each service is designed to give your roof strength, beauty, and durability. Our work focuses on quality materials and expert craftsmanship to protect your home.

New Roof Installation

We install new cedar shake roofs with careful attention to detail. First, we inspect your roof's structure to make sure it can support the shakes. Then, we select high-quality cedar that resists decay and insects.

Our installation process includes laying down a weatherproof underlayment before fixing the cedar shakes. This provides extra protection against moisture and wind. We install the shakes with proper spacing to allow for natural expansion and drainage.

The end result is a roof that looks natural and lasts many years. We follow industry standards to ensure every roof meets safety and performance guidelines.

Custom Roofing Solutions

We create custom roofing solutions based on the style and size of your home. We consider factors like roof pitch, local climate, and your design preferences. This helps us recommend the best type and cut of cedar shakes for your roof.

Our team can work with different shapes and angles, including dormers and valleys. We can also blend cedar shakes with other roofing materials if desired.

If you want a unique color or finish, we offer staining and sealing options. These choices increase the roof's lifespan and improve resistance to weather damage.

Roof Replacement

When a cedar shake roof is worn or damaged, we provide full replacement services. We remove old shakes carefully to avoid damaging the roof structure underneath.

Then, we inspect and repair the roof deck before installing new cedar shakes. This ensures the new roof has a solid foundation. We use best practices to dispose of the old materials responsibly.

Replacing your roof can protect your home from leaks and improve its energy efficiency. We guide you through the process and help select shakes that fit your needs and budget.

Benefits of Cedar Shake Roofs

Natural Aesthetic Appeal

Cedar shakes offer a classic, rustic look that blends well with many home styles. Each shake has a unique grain and texture that adds character to the roof. Over time, cedar weathers to a soft gray tone, which many homeowners find attractive.

The natural color of cedar helps homes stand out without looking artificial. We can customize the installation to highlight the wood’s texture and color variations. This helps create a warm, organic feel that other roofing materials cannot match.

Energy Efficiency

Cedar shakes have natural insulating properties. This helps keep homes cooler in summer and warmer in winter. The air pockets between the individual shakes reduce heat transfer.

Because of this natural insulation, homes with cedar shake roofs often use less energy. This can lower heating and cooling bills. Our installations aim to maximize these benefits by ensuring proper spacing and ventilation under the shakes.

Enhanced Durability

Cedar is a strong wood that resists cracking, splitting, and warping. When properly maintained, cedar shake roofs last 30 years or more. The wood’s natural oils also make it resistant to insects and decay.

We treat and space the shakes carefully during installation to allow water to drain quickly. This reduces the risk of mold or rot. Regular maintenance helps extend the roof’s life and keeps it protecting the home effectively.

Maintenance and Care for Cedar Shake Roofs

We recommend regular inspections to keep cedar shake roofs in good shape. Checking the roof twice a year helps catch problems early, like cracked or loose shakes.

Cleaning debris off the roof is important. Leaves, branches, and moss can hold moisture, which can lead to damage. Using a soft broom or blower helps avoid harming the wood.

We advise trimming nearby trees to prevent drops of sap and to reduce shade. Too much shade can keep the roof wet and cause mold or rot.

Applying a wood preservative every 3 to 5 years can extend the roof's life. This helps protect against moisture, insects, and UV rays. It also keeps wood color fresh.

If you see broken shakes, replace them quickly. Damaged wood can allow water inside, which may harm the roof structure underneath.
