Installing a cedar roof is beneficial for many reasons. Cedar roofs are durable, long-lasting, and provide protection against the elements. Cedar is a naturally rot-resistant wood that can withstand extreme climates, making it ideal for roofing applications. It is also highly resistant to weather damage and insects. Additionally, its aesthetic appeal adds visual interest and charm to any building or home exterior.

Types of Cedar Roofs Roofs We Install

There are two types of cedar roofing to consider: cedar shake roofing and cedar shingle roofing. The strength of both types depends on the thickness and which part of the tree the material was cut from.

Cedar Shake Roofing

Cedar shake is a type of roofing material traditionally made from split pieces of cedar. It is still popular today due to its attractive and unique look, as well as its durability and ability to weather harsh climates. Cedar shake roofs can last for up to 30 years if properly maintained. They are also highly fire-resistant, which makes them an ideal choice in areas prone to fires or high winds.

Cedar Shingle Roofing

Cedar cut shingles are factory-made, ensuring that each panel is the same size and width. This makes cedar shingles less expensive than cedar shakes. Like cedar shake, cedar shingles are lightweight, easy to maintain and energy-efficient. They’re easier to install and come in different colors and styles that can be tailored to your individual tastes.

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

  • Eco-Friendly: Made out of natural wood, cedar roofs are a sustainable material compared to asphalt shingles or other synthetic roofing materials.
  • Durable: The biggest advantage is that cedar shingles are naturally resistant to rot, decay, and insect infestations. This can add a great deal of longevity to your roof as long as it is properly maintained.
  • Beauty: Cedar roofs are like no other. You will get a natural look with a unique texture to your property, adding to its individual character.

Cons of Cedar Roofing

  • Drying Issues: Natural wood is more susceptible to drying out and will require routine treatment to maintain its durability.
  • Expensive: Cedar roofing comes at a higher price than other roofing materials like asphalt shingles.
  • Maintenance: Cedar roofs require more maintenance due to their vulnerability to moisture and fungi growth.
