Wood Shake / Cedar Roofing

Our company installs wood shake roofing

If you want your house to stand out among others in your neighborhood, you should consider installing a wood shake / cedar shake roof.

Cedar shakes combine a traditional look with reliable, modern performance. It is a great choice for historic homes or homes in new developments with high appearance standards. Also, cedar shakes are an environmentally friendly option for consumers. The life expectancy of cedar shakes is up to 30 years, if quality materials are used. If the roofer uses commodity materials (low quality) or if the workmanship is poor, the life expectancy can drop to only 10 to 15 years.

Cedar / Wood shake roof restoration process

Cedar roof is very expensive to replace. However, the same cedar roof can be restored to give the roof an additional life of five or more years for fraction of the replacement cost. Restoring wood shake roof is five step process:

  1. Cleaning The Roof

    spacer We start wood shake roof restoration process with a thorough and environmentally friendly cleaning. Your cedar roof is first saturated with a restorative detergent then gently washed to remove moss, dirt, graying, and atmospheric dirt.

  2. Repair and Replacement

    After cleaning, a thorough inspection of your roof follows. Any damaged, rotting, loose or missing wood shakes are repaired or replaced.

  3. Rust and Leaks

    Rust preventative cold galvanized primer is applied to all galvanized or stainless steel valleys and flashing. We also inspect all skylight seals and chimney flashings, recaulking and repairing when necessary.

  4. Site Preparation

    Prior to applying cedar shake preservative, we will protect the surrounding area with hoses and tarp. This makes sure that your home, driveway, walkway and greenery will not be damaged.

  5. Preservation

    Once this has been accomplished, a coat of wood preservative is sprayed over the entire roof surface. This penetrating oil based treatment will restore water repellency, prevent the re-growth of wood destroying mold, mildew and fungus and protect the roof from photo-degradation and hydrolysis by sunlight.
