Looking for a roofing material that offers a rustic and significant appeal to boost the value of your house and provide excellent protection? Cedar shake roofs are developed of cedar shakes taken from natural cedar wood. The grain on each shingle is lain vertically since each shingle is cut towards the grain to prevent splitting and wear over time. The distinctive and genuine look  that a cedar shake roofing system offers is different than any other roofing material available that has the potential to make your home the most intriguing on the block!

Benefits of a Cedar Shake Roof

Exceptional Beauty: First and foremost, nothing can compare to the rustic feel and look of wood. Cedar shake roofing tends to darken over time, so choosing this option guarantees a more genuine look even as time goes forward. Additionally, cedar shake roofing is a timeless classic that will never lose appreciation.

Longevity: Although not as long lasting as its slate and metal competitors, cedar shake roof still lasts up to 15 years longer than the average asphalt shingle roof. This allows for costs as your cedar shake wood will only require maintenance restoration every 10 years as opposed to an entire replacement that can cost tens of thousands of dollars.

Efficiency: Believe it or not, cedar shake roofing systems reflect light, offering an energy efficient solution and saving you air conditioning costs. They also offer up to two times more insulation than the average asphalt shingle roofing system, keeping your house nice and cozy during the winter months.

Elemental Protection: Cedar shake roofing systems offer protection from winds, rains, snow, sleet, hail, and even hurricanes. This allows for peace of mind even during the roughest months of the year. Not only do cedar shakes offer protection from the elements, they also repel insects from damaging your roof. This can save you hundreds of dollars in repair as termites and other invading insects can destroy the integrity of a roofing system.
