Cedar Shake Roofing

A far less common but extremely reliable and productive roofing solution that many people don’t know about is cedar wood shingles and shakes. Cedar wood is extremely long lasting and can help protect your home for 10 years or longer than even the popular asphalt shingle roof.

Main Advantages of Cedar Roof Shingles:

Depending on the style, and color of shingle that you choose, this roofing option provides a truly unique and rustic look for your home’s exterior. Used on residential and commercial properties all over the world, this type of roofing is available in shingle, shake, and hip & ridge unit formats. Here the top six reasons to consider Capital Construction Contracting INC for your next cedar roof shake project:

1. Dimensional stability

Cedar wood is a low density material meaning that it offers very minimal shrinkage. In humid conditions it is able to hold its original dimensions.

2. Resistance to the elements

Cedar wood is resistant to moisture, UV rays, insect damage and is also wind resistant.

3. Strength

As one of the toughest woods out there, cedar wood is an extremely durable roofing material.

4. Insulating

Cedar is a natural insulator. This means you’ll have extra help keeping the warm temperatures in during the winter and the cool A/C in during the summer.

5. Architecturally enhancing appearance

Cedar roofing offers a natural and timeless appearance to your home.

With these characteristics, cedar shingles and shakes make for a visually versatile and naturally practical roofing material. A robust addition to any residential or commercial roofing project, cedar is a long-lasting and reliable choice.
