What to Consider before Choosing Wood Shakes
PROS
● Aesthetically pleasing: Timeless and rustic. Their thick, textured design gives a unique and handcrafted look.
● Natural Insulation: Keeps home warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer.
● Durability: Resistant to wind damage and can improve the stability of your roof deck as a whole
● Protective Coatings Available: Can apply protective coatings to protect against rot and algae.
CONS
● High Maintenance: Need to apply regular protective coatings to protect against moisture and decay.
● Fire Risk: May be an unsafe choice for homes in wildfire areas.
● Cost: They are not the least expensive option. Wood shakes are an investment for a beautiful home.
● Susceptible to rot and algae: Protective coatings can help, but requires regular care to prevent rot, algae, and insect infestations.

“We were very pleased doing business with this company. The quality of materials used and reasonable price was appreciated. The crew under the direction of Chad was always on time, was careful to clean up after the work days and were respectful of our walkways and flower beds. Chad stopped by every day and checked with us to see if everything was going as planned. We would highly recommend this company for any roofing care needed."
