Advantages Of
Cedar Shake Roofs
Durability
When properly maintained, cedar shake roofs can last between 30 to 50 years. Cedar is naturally resistant to insects and UV damage.
Weather Resistance
Cedar shakes are naturally resistant to severe weather conditions, including wind, rain, and hail, and they offer some fire resistance when treated with a fire-retardant finish.
Natural Beauty
Cedar shakes offer a unique, rustic appearance that ages beautifully over time, developing a silver-gray patina that enhances the home’s natural aesthetic.
Weather Resistance
Cedar shakes are an environmentally friendly option as they are made from a renewable resource and are biodegradable.
Energy Efficiency
Cedar is an excellent natural insulator, helping to keep homes cool in summer and warm in winter, reducing energy costs.
Maintenance Tips
Regular Inspections
Regularly inspect the roof for any damaged, cracked, or curling shakes, especially after severe weather. Promptly replacing damaged shakes will extend the life of your roof.
Clean the Surface &
Maintain Gutters
Keep the roof free of debris, as this can trap in moisture and lead to rot. To remove buildup, consider power washing the roof annually. Ensure gutters are clean, as clogged gutters can cause water to back up onto the roof and damage the shakes.
Regular Maintenance
Cedar shakes are prone to moss and algae growth in humid climates, so applying a moss and algae treatment annually helps prevent buildup and extends the roof’s longevity. Additionally, every few years, apply a sealant or stain to protect the shakes from moisture and UV damage, while also preserving the wood’s natural beauty.
