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.

Cedar Roof FAQs

What is it made from?

Cedar roofing materials are naturally occurring, made from none other than cedar trees! Cedar is a very durable tree and makes for fantastic roofing material.

Does it cost more than regular asphalt shingles?
Cedar shake costs more than asphalt shingles, but this is due to the all-natural material and extra care required to install.
How many years will a cedar roof last?
Cedar requires more care and attention than other roofing materials, but with proper maintenance, your roof will last up to 25 years.
What is the most durable cedar material?
Western red cedar is the most abundant type of cedar, and the most resistant to rot and decay. It has one of the longest lifespans of all North American softwood cedar trees.

Our Customers Love Us

I just got my 20-year-old roof replaced through an insurance claim due to hail damage. Roofing USA walked me through the whole process with the insurance company, quickly scheduled the work, and got the roof replaced in 2 days. Although it was loud and messy for two days, the crew came back on the third day and did a thorough clean-up around the entire house. The roof looks great but of course, it is too soon to know the level of quality (i.e. lack of leaks) until it has been tested with the weather. Based on my experience so far, I would highly recommend Roofing USA.

Rodney Freeman

Very pleased with Roofing USA and the inspector (John B.) that came out to my house. After having to deal with other contractors, it was very refreshing to work with a group that was honest, respectful, and responsive.
John B. completed a roof inspection and gave me an honest assessment. He did not try and sell me something that we didn’t need. Actually did a few minor repairs at no charge.
Like I said I didn’t need a new roof at this time, but when I do I will be calling back Roofing USA to do the work. Very impressed so far.

Matthew Peterson

Jason Davey was so helpful when I first inquired about some problems I was having with my roof. He sent Cooper over the next day and from that point on they walked us through everything on getting a new roof. Once the install date came it was extremely fast and they left the yard looking better than before they got there. The roof looks fantastic and am so happy we went with Roofing USA. I would highly recommend them based on work quality and customer service.

Penny Lamonica

The team at Roofing USA in Charleston SC were Fantastic. From step one on the inspection to the final process of replacing our roof due to storm damage. They did everything and did it professionally and perfectly. They always went above and beyond doing a great job and even cleaning up each day when working so that we never got nails in our tires. Jason Davey and his entire team did a great job. I have and will continue to refer others to them for their roof inspections and repairs. They were the best contractors I’ve ever used for a roof!!!
