Benefits of Wood Roofing

With many different types of roofing options available it can be difficult to choose which one is best for you. Whether you choose concrete, asphalt or cedar shakes, each one has its own pros and cons when it comes to costs, features and durability.
The following are some benefits of shake roofing to consider:

  • It is long-lasting, more hail-resistant than asphalt, and can withstand extreme temperatures and wind speeds up to 245 mph when properly installed & maintained

  • It offers natural insulation (superior to asphalt) saving on energy bills

  • It’s a far more eco-friendly roofing material than asphalt. It can be recycled, and the untreated shakes are biodegradable
  • Cedar has natural oils that make it decay-resistant and protect it from insects
  • It enhances the aesthetics of your house
  • Its 2-ply installation system offer extra protection and peace of mind

  • The option to extend its lifespan with maintenance (rather than re-roofing) makes it affordable for long-term owners

When Do You Need to See Us?

Cedar is one of the most durable materials, with resawn handsplit cedar shakes being the most commonly used in our area. Shake Experts frequently works with many types of cedar, as well as Pressure Treated Shakes and Natural Pine shake roofs. If you observe curled or lifting shakes, black/decaying shakes, broken/missing shakes or loosening of ridge cap, consider having a Shake Expert take a look at the roof.

All types of wood roofs need maintenance after a period of time, if your home is 15 years or older and you are unsure if the roof has been maintained, then give us a call. We’ve been Shakin’ It for over 25 years!
