Cedar shake roofs are premium roof systems made from cedar (natural wood) materials. They are among the most attractive roofing materials. Cedar trees can be cut into 2-foot sections. Then, they are hand-split or sawed to a tapered thickness (tapersawn) in order to make the actual shingles.
You can get a more rugged look with hand split, while tapersawn has a more smooth look. The cedar shake roof shingles are natural made and there's no manufacturer warranty if the materials fail.
Your roofing contractor's workmanship warranty will protect your investment. Also, be aware that cedar shake roof shingles may lose their color, crackle, crackle, and curl with age, depending on how they are exposed to the elements.
Before you make a decision to install a cedar shake roof on your home, talk with your roofing contractor about the impact of climate conditions on cedar shakeshingles.
