Treating your cedar roof ensures durability and enhances aesthetic appeal. Our process includes:

1. Preservative or Stain Application: High-quality wood treatments protect against UV rays, moisture, and mold. Semi-transparent stains highlight the wood grain.
2. Sectional Application: We apply treatments from top to bottom using sprayers, rollers, or brushes to prevent streaking.

Regular cleaning prevents rot and decay. Our step-by-step process:

1. Clear Debris: Remove leaves, branches, and dirt with soft-bristle brushes.
2. Apply Cleaner: Spray evenly from top down.
3. Scrub Gently: Work with soft-bristle brushes along the shingles.
4. Rinse Thoroughly: Wash from top down, ensuring all cleaner is removed.

Storms can damage cedar roofs through hail, wind, ice-damming, and heavy snow. We provide:

• Roof inspection after storms
• Immediate repairs to leaks or structural damage
• Replacement of missing or damaged shingles/shakes

Repair Specific Roof Issues

• Repair Leaks: Prevent water damage and maintain integrity.
• Missing Shakes/Shingles: Replace with high-quality materials.
• Cracked or Split Shakes/Shingles: Restore structural integrity and aesthetics.
• Curling & Cupped Shakes/Shingles: Correct installation issues and prevent further damage.

If  the wood is rotting or your roof has missing shakes or shingles, let our cedar shake roofing experts install the highest quality replacements.

Your Cedar Roof Shakes & Shingles may start to deteriorate if you don’t get your roof treated regularly. Let the experts at Cedar Roofs take care of the spots that need fixing and put in new, top-notch shingles.

Since cedar shakes/shingles are made of natural materials they tend to curl or cup. If you’re seeing a lot of curling on your wooden roof, chances are it wasn’t nailed in right. If the nails were too far from the top and the edges, that’s probably why you’re having issues. That’s the not-so-good news. The good news is, we can fix it. Our skilled cedar roof experts will take out the damaged parts and put in new, top-notch shakes.
