Roofing & Accessories

Cedar shingle and shake roofs are celebrated for their natural beauty, superior weather resistance, and natural insulating properties. While they are typically more expensive and may, in certain settings, require some maintenance (i.e. to prevent moss), top-grade installations can protect your home for 30 to 50 years.

Key Differences: Shingles vs. Shakes

• Cedar Shingles: Machine-sawn on both sides for a clean, uniform, and tailored appearance. They lay flatter than shakes.

• Cedar Shakes: Split or taper-sawn from cedar blocks, giving them a much thicker, rough-hewn, and rustic aesthetic with deep shadow lines.

Primary Attributes

• Lifespan: Ranges between 30 and 50 years if properly maintained, heavily outperforming standard asphalt.

• Insulation: Provides natural thermal insulation, helping to keep homes cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter, which improves energy efficiency.

• Weather Resilience: Exceptional durability against extreme conditions, with high impact resistance against hail and wind uplift resistance.
