Cedar Shake Roofing Services by Cane Roofing
At Cane Roofing, we specialize in cedar shake roof installation providing high-quality roofing solutions that enhance the appearance and protection of your home or business. Cedar shakes are an ideal choice for homeowners looking to add a touch of elegance and natural warmth to their property.
Why Choose Cedar Shake
1. Natural Aesthetic Appeal
Cedar shakes have a distinctive look that adds timeless beauty to any property. Their natural grain patterns and warm tones make them perfect for homes in rustic, traditional, or mountain-style architecture. Over time, cedar shakes mature to a silvery-gray patina, enhancing their character and charm.
2. Durability and Longevity
Cedar shake roofs are highly durable and can last anywhere from 30 to 50 years with proper care. They are naturally resistant to insects, rot, and weathering, making them an excellent choice for homes exposed to harsh weather conditions.
3. Excellent Insulation
Cedar shakes provide natural insulation properties, helping to regulate indoor temperatures and reduce energy costs. The air gaps between the shakes allow for better airflow, which helps keep your home cool in summer and warm in winter.
4. Environmentally Friendly
Cedar is a renewable resource, making it an eco-friendly choice for those looking to reduce their environmental footprint. It’s also biodegradable, so it won’t contribute to landfill waste.
5. Fire Resistance
While cedar shakes are naturally combustible, they can be treated with fire retardant chemicals that enhance their fire resistance without compromising their natural beauty. This added protection makes them a safe choice for areas prone to wildfires.
Common Issues with Cedar Shake
Although cedar shakes are durable, they can develop issues over time due to exposure to the elements. Some common problems include:
- Cracked or Split Shakes: Exposure to temperature fluctuations can cause cedar shakes to crack or split.
- Moss and Algae Growth: In humid climates, moss and algae can grow on cedar shakes, affecting their appearance and performance.
- Warping or Curling: Over time, cedar shakes can warp or curl, which may lead to water penetration if not addressed.
- Loose Shakes: Shakes can become loose or detached, especially after strong winds or storms.
Cane Roofing is here to provide prompt repairs and maintenance to address these issues and extend the life of your cedar shake roof.
