Humidity-smart installation
Cedar in the Gulf South needs airflow — we install on breathable underlayment systems that let shakes dry from both sides.
Stage 03 Roof types & materials
Cedar Shake Roofing
Nothing matches the warmth of a cedar roof. Installed with the right spacing, breathability, and treatment, shakes deliver decades of character TN humidity can't fake.
Straight about this job
What you get
Preservation & maintenance
Cleaning, treatment, and selective replacement programmes that add years to an existing shake roof.
Synthetic shake options
Composite shakes capture the look with far higher impact resistance and none of the maintenance — worth comparing side by side before you decide.
Straight answers
