OUR CEDAR SHAKE ROOFING SERVICES

Our wood shake roof installation process is managed from the earliest planning stages through final installation. We pay careful attention to species selection, #1 Graded materials, structural requirements, and detailing.
Because wooden shake shingles are split rather than sawn, they offer a thicker build and a more rugged, textured face. This gives the finished roof greater depth and visual character.
When an older shake system has reached the end of its serviceable life, we provide a full replacement.
As an experienced wood shake roof contractor, we begin by evaluating the existing assembly and confirming what the structure requires. Our systematic approach enables us to craft a replacement strategy that preserves the building’s character.
Some are drawn to the texture and profile of cedar shakes but prefer an alternative that requires less upkeep.
In these cases, we help you determine whether synthetic cedar shake roof shingles are the right fit for your property and provide project-specific pricing during consultation. Our synthetic cedar options range from composite cedar shingles to terra cotta shingles designed to look like shingles.
In historic buildings, cedar shakes may be original to the structure or required to preserve period accuracy. These projects call for preservation expertise and a clear respect for architectural intent.
We focus on material authenticity and the visual rhythm of the finished roof so the renewed work feels consistent with the property’s character.

NATURAL VS. SYNTHETIC CEDAR SHAKES — WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE?

NATURAL CEDAR

Natural cedar offers the depth and irregular character that give a wood shake shingle roof its unmistakable presence. It is also biodegradable and develops a distinctive weathered look over time, which many owners value for its authenticity.
When sourced through CSSB-graded standards, cedar shakes offer trusted quality.
SYNTHETIC CEDAR

Synthetic shake roofing is designed for clients who want the look of cedar with greater consistency and less upkeep. These systems typically offer longer lifespans and stronger resistance to moisture, insects, and fire. They also hold their appearance more uniformly over time, which is an excellent option for roofs needing a consistent look.

WHY CEDAR SHAKE ROOFIN

Cedar shakes are valued for their functional features as much as the warmth and character they give to a roofline. Their heavier thickness allows them to properly shed water, while their natural resistance to moisture and decay makes them well-suited for a number of different climates.

In addition to being used on many coastal homes and buildings, cedar shakes were often used on historic properties as wood shakes were a common roofing material.

Once architectural considerations are taken into account, we then move toward material specifications such as synthetic or natural cedar, wood species and even size and exposure specifications.
