Frequently Ask Questions

What is cedar roofing?

Cedar roofing is a natural wood roofing system made from cedar shakes or cedar shingles. It’s known for its timeless appearance, natural insulation, and ability to enhance curb appeal while protecting your home

  • Cedar Shingles: Machine-cut for a uniform, refined look.

  • Cedar Shakes: Hand-split or taper sawn, thicker, and more textured for a rustic, traditional appearance.
    Both materials offer excellent performance, but shakes typically provide a more rugged aesthetic and increased thickness.

Cedar roofing offers several advantages:

  • Natural beauty and curb appeal

  • Good insulation properties

  • Resistance to insects and decay

  • Durability in various weather conditions

  • Aging that develops character over time

Yes. Cedar roofs generally need more maintenance than asphalt or metal roofing. Routine care includes keeping the roof clear of debris, removing moss and mildew, and inspecting for any damaged or warped shingles. Proper maintenance helps prevent moisture issues and extends the roof’s lifespan.

With proper installation and maintenance, cedar roofs typically last about 30–50 years, depending on climate, ventilation, and how well they are cared for.

Cedar roofing is typically more expensive upfront than standard asphalt shingles due to the quality of materials and specialized installation required. However, many homeowners find the durability, beauty, and longevity make it a worthwhile investment.
