Cedar shingles are machine-cut for a smooth, uniform appearance. They are thinner than shakes and lay flat, producing a clean, refined look. Cedar shingles are an excellent choice for homes where a more formal or traditional aesthetic is desired.
Cedar shakes are hand-split or sawn for a thicker, textured surface with natural grain variation. They create a rustic, dimensional look with deep shadow lines. Shakes are thicker than shingles, offering improved weather resistance and insulation.
Untreated cedar is naturally resistant to rot and insects due to its inherent oils, making it a durable roofing material without additional treatment.
Treated and preservative-applied wood shake products provide extended protection against moisture, decay, and weathering, especially in wet climates.
Fire-retardant treatments are available for wood roofing products to help meet local building codes and insurance requirements in fire-prone areas.
Wood roofing in Maine's damp, forested climate requires attentive maintenance to perform at its best. Moss, lichen, and algae growth are common concerns and can accelerate wood deterioration if left unaddressed. Periodic cleaning, treatment, and the application of protective sealants significantly extend the life of a cedar roof. Proper attic ventilation and roof design that promotes drying also play important roles.
Our maintenance team provides regular inspections and treatments to keep wood shake roofs performing well and looking beautiful for as long as possible. A well-maintained cedar roof can last 25 to 40 years in the right conditions.
Wood shake roofing is a premium product that delivers exceptional aesthetic value and solid performance when properly installed and maintained. It is best suited for homeowners who appreciate natural materials, are willing to invest in periodic maintenance, and want a roof that stands apart from the ordinary.
