OUR SYNTHETIC SHAKE ROOFING SERVICES
-
Our synthetic shake roofing service covers the full scope of the project, from consultation and product selection through structural assessment and installation. We work with synthetic cedar shakes that replicate the split-face texture and dimensional profile of natural cedar while performing reliably on the same steeper roof pitches.
-
For properties with aging cedar roofs, we provide full conversions to composite shake roofing, offering long-term durability and lower maintenance requirements. Huber & Associates carefully manages the transition from removal to installation, using composite wood shingles to preserve the texture, depth, and architectural character of natural cedar.
-
When a property calls for the look of original cedar with stronger modern performance, we restore that appearance with thoughtfully selected synthetic materials. Our team provides synthetic cedar shake roof cost guidance through a detailed consultation, with recommendations tailored to the building.

WHY CHOOSE SYNTHETIC ROOF SHAKES OVER NATURAL CEDAR
Natural cedar shakes offer unmistakable character, biodegradability, and a patina that develops beautifully over time. However, that beauty comes with upkeep.
For many properties or homes with strict fire-codes, composite shake roofing offers a more practical long-term solution. Today’s premium products closely replicate natural wood while providing lower maintenance and stronger resistance to fire, moisture, pests, and rot.
Initial costs vary by project, but synthetic roof shakes often deliver stronger long-term value. At Huber & Associates, we walk you through that comparison honestly during consultation.
TYPES OF SYNTHETIC SHAKE PRODUCTS WE INSTALL
-
COMPOSITE WOOD SHAKES
Composite Wood Shakes are synthetically made, but often contain a high content of recycled materials. Composite Wood Shakes, depending on the brand, can be Class A fire rated while having minimal maintenance. These shingles are often chosen for their long-lasting color stability, helping them resist fading and maintain their appearance for years.
-
TERRA COTTA WOOD SHINGLES
Terra Cotta Tiles designed to look like Cedar Shakes have been growing steadily in popularity. Designed to look like a shake by mimicking both the texture and color of one, they are a great alternative when a traditional cedar shake is not desired. Terra Cotta tiles are Class "A" Fire Rated, and have little maintenance. While heavier than traditional cedar shakes, they are sometimes preferred in high-wind areas.
-
CUSTOM SYNTHETIC PROFILES
Some projects call for more exacting material matches than standard profiles allow. For these applications, we can source custom profiles, bespoke colorways, and restoration-sensitive products, including select composite cedar shakes for historically informed design work.
