Wood Shingle & Shakes

Wood Shingle & Shake roofing systems are renowned for their rustic charm and natural beauty.

Using shake made from cedar, redwood, or pine, these roofs blend seamlessly with natural surroundings and provide excellent insulation. While shake roofs require regular maintenance to prevent moss or mold growth, they offer a distinctive charm and can last 30 to 40 years when properly cared for.
