Benefits of Cedar Shake Roofing

Cedar shake roofing boosts thermal control, enhances curb appeal, and holds up in heavy snow and cold climates. Each hand-crafted piece provides deep texture and rustic charm that blends beautifully with historic, lodge-style, or nature-inspired home designs.

We build with hand-split or tapersawn shake, adapting each layer for roof slope, ventilation pathways, and attic insulation needs. Unlike metal roofing, shake needs regular treatment and inspection but offers unmatched warmth, acoustic control, and a classic profile.

We match cedar with proper residential gutter pitch, water runoff strategy, and roof repair support for long-term performance. Explore more roof types like synthetic or tile if you want durable, low-maintenance systems.

How We Install Long-Lasting Cedar Shake Roofs

We inspect your home’s deck, venting, and framing to ensure the structure can support premium shake installation. This process allows us to identify hidden issues like rotting, airflow restrictions, or structural shifts before laying any new material. Then we install a high-grade underlayment with moisture-wicking technology and airflow support to avoid condensation and moisture traps under the shakes.

Each cedar shake is nailed using corrosion-resistant fasteners that prevent rust stains and secure every row firmly. Our installers stagger each shake layer and leave natural expansion space between rows for swell control, keeping your roof functional through seasonal shifts. Valleys, ridges, and hips are capped with hand-trimmed shake pieces for a seamless and weather-tight look that elevates your roofline’s visual appeal.

We treat all cedar materials for UV resistance, mildew control, and pest protection to ensure lasting performance. As your trusted roofing contractor, we design every cedar shake system to meet Colorado’s building codes, energy efficiency standards, and aesthetic preferences, ensuring both durability and beauty.
