Cedar and faux shake roofing
A shake roof gives a house a high-end, rustic character that stands out from everything else on the street — in natural cedar, or in a composite that mimics it.
Two ways to get a shake roof
Cedar shakes
Cedar shake roofing is a natural wood product that gives your home a high-end rustic appeal. It absorbs the impact of hail more successfully and withstands damage better than many other products on the market. We also offer cedar shake wood treatments for fire ratings and mould prevention.
Faux cedar shakes
Faux cedar shake tiles are made from composite materials, offering a highly durable, long-lasting alternative to traditional wood cedar shakes. Several colours and thicknesses give a realistic, true-to-life hand-split texture and an authentic appearance.
Which one is right for your house?
Natural cedar weathers to a soft grey, offers some insulation value and lasts a long time when it is maintained — but it is a higher-maintenance material. Composite shakes trade some of that natural character for durability and a much easier life.
Call and we will tell you honestly which one makes sense for your roof, your exposure and your budget.
