Wood shake roofs are growing in popularity due to their beauty, wind and hail resistance and insulating value, but keep in mind, they are not maintenance free. The shingles must be kept free from moss, fungus and debris so that when it rains the roof will dry quickly. Cedar contains naturally occurring chemicals called extratives. These chemicals help preserve the wood, but dissolve in water. Shake roofs are also more difficult to install and if not done properly can lead to a variety of problems. Here at Everlast Exteriors our skilled installers are extremely experienced and thorough, and of course we guarantee our workmanship with lifetime warranties on all installations.
