Cedar Roof Repair Process

Roof Inspection

Our first step is to  inspect the roof for any damaged or weathered areas that may be leaking.   We look for any loose or missing shakes or ridge-caps.  Also we check  for any holes caused by animals.  We check skylights, flashing, pipe jackets, vents, etc.

Roof Repair

After a thorough inspection of the roof, we start the roof repair process.  We repair the roof with quality grade shake whether it’s heavy, medium or
perfection.  We replace all rotted, bad or missing shakes. We replace all bad or missing ridge-caps. We patch all holes.  We caulk skylights, flashing, pipe jackets, vents,etc.

Roof Treatment

Once the roof is repaired,  we treat any moss, mildew or algae then scrub it with a brush. We don’t recommend power washing your roof.  Power washing peels back a layer of the shake shortening the life of the roof.

Clean Roof

Last but not least, clean the roof by blowing it.  We treat the entire roof with a chevron shingle oil treatment. Unlike most treatments it penetrates down deep into the shake locking into the  fibers of the cedar. This treatment slows down the weathering process. Maintained properly your cedar roof could last 35-50 yrs.

NOTE:  DO NOT POWER-WASH YOUR ROOF AS IT WILL DAMAGE THE SHAKE. IT PEELS BACK A LAYER OF THE SHAKE MAKING IT 10 TIMES MORE BRITTLE AND EASIER FOR WINDS TO DAMAGE.
