CEDAR WOOD SHAKE or SHINGLE – PREMIUM APPEARANCE, RUSTIC, BOLD, CUSTOM BEAUTY

Benefits of Wood Shake

The greatest benefit to a cedar roof is the unmistakable beauty. Homes throughout the country use roughly the same roofing materials and none of them really make an impact on visitors or passersby. Cedar is different. No matter what color of stain you choose, decorative cedar shingles enhance the beauty of your home and make an incredible first impression on any who sees it.

Cedar is also durable, which means you’re going to enjoy a much longer lifespan than you would with more traditional roofing materials. Cedar shakes and shingles are going to be able to withstand significant storms and harsh weather conditions — and you’ll certainly get an attractive return on your investment in a cedar roof.

Finally, cedar shingles and shakes are more energy-efficient than more traditional roofing materials. Your home is always losing conditioned air. Hot air escapes in winter when you're trying to keep your home warm and cool air escapes in summer when you're trying to keep your home cold. The only question is: How much conditioned air are you letting escape?

Conditioned air can escape through walls, windows, poorly weather-stripped doors and even electrical outlets. But your attic and roof are the biggest culprits. You can add insulation to your attic to make your home more energy-efficient, but a cedar roof is going to make a huge difference in better controlling your heating and cooling costs.

The Difference

Cedar is more attractive, more durable and more energy-efficient than most other materials you can choose for roofing — especially more traditional materials. Cedar shakes and shingles are going to cost more than traditional roofing materials, but that’s understandable when you consider that you’re going to get many more years. You often get what you pay for, and cedar offers incredible value when you choose to make an investment in this beautiful and durable roofing material.

The one added duty with custom cedar shakes and shingles is regular maintenance. You'll need to take active measures to ensure that mildew, moss, mold and other growths don't appear on your specialty cedar shakes or shingles. You can conduct this regular maintenance or you can have anti-growth preservatives added to your decorative cedar shakes or shingles prior to installation.
