Types of Cedar Roofs Roofs We Install

Cedar Shake Roofing

Cedar shake roofing is cut by hand, unlike most roofing which is machine-cut. Each piece is made individually, granting more variance to the pieces through a non-uniform style. While this can greatly add to the aesthetic of your home, an experienced roofer must handle the installation. If done incorrectly, the different-sized pieces can open your roof up to gaps and leaks. At Roofing USA, we have installed many cedar shake roofs and will make sure your roof is water-tight and given the rustic look you deserve.

The Pros and Cons of Cedar Roofing

When making your selection about the type of cedar roofing to fit your needs, there will be pros and cons. We have broken down the list for you:

Pros of Cedar Roofing

  • Curb Appeal:
  • Cedar’s natural wood look makes it a unique and beautiful roofing choice.

  •  
  • Longevity:
  • Proper care can ensure that your cedar roofing lasts for decades!

  •  
  • Weather-resistant:
  • Cedar roofs require fewer repairs after inclement weather. They stand up well to heavy rains, strong winds, and other severe weather conditions.

Cons of Cedar Roofing

  • Maintenance:
  • To prevent moss and mildew buildup, cedar roofs will require more maintenance compared to other roofing types.

  •  
  • Expensive:
  • Cedar is considered a high-end roofing option because of its natural variety, and as such, it is more expensive than other roofing materials.

    •  
  • Drying Issues:
  • Cedar roofing materials are made from trees, which leaves them more prone to drying out. This can leave your home more susceptible to issues like fire damage, cracking, and pest issues.
