What is a Cedar Shake roof?

Cedar shake roofing uses shingles crafted from hand-split or sawn cedar wood and brings unmatched natural beauty to any home. Shingles come in three grades - common, select, and 100% straight grain. Common grade contains more knots while straight grain lies flatter. Cedar shake roofs are custom-made to order so they typically have a 3-8 week lead time. When properly installed and maintained, cedar shake roofs can last up to 50 years. The rustic elegance of cedar shake simply can’t be replicated by asphalt or metal roofs.

Alternatives to Cedar Shake Roofing

For homeowners who love the look of cedar shakes but are looking for a more practical option, composite shake roofing offers the best of both worlds. Composite shakes replicate the rustic visual appeal of natural wood cedar shakes while offering the affordability and low maintenance of asphalt shingles.

Made from engineered polymer blends, composite shakes accurately mimic the texture and dimensional shape of real cedar shakes without the splitting, cracking, or warping of natural wood. The embedded color stays vibrant for decades without continued maintenance. Composite shakes deliver the coveted look of cedar with the flexibility, durability, and convenience of modern roofing materials.
