Natural cedar shake for homes that call for authentic wood character. Hand-split and sawn shakes installed by a certified local crew, backed by a 5-year workmanship warranty.
Cedar shake is a style decision more than a performance decision. It’s the right choice for a specific kind of home and a specific kind of homeowner.
Cedar shake is available in different cuts, grades, and treatments. We pay attention to Cedar Shake & Shingle Bureau grading and material quality so you know what is actually going on your roof.
Thicker shakes with a rougher face and deeper shadow lines. This is the classic cedar shake look most homeowners picture when they want a more rustic roof.
Cut for a cleaner, more consistent appearance. You still get the depth and character of real cedar, but with straighter lines and a more refined look.
Cedar shakes treated to extend service life in wet climates and resist fungal decay. Minnesota’s freeze-thaw cycles and moisture exposure make pressure treatment a worthwhile upgrade for most cedar installations here.
Cedar treated with fire-retardant chemicals to achieve Class A or Class B fire ratings. Required in some jurisdictions and insurance situations. We can specify appropriately during the quote.
Cedar-specific note: because cedar requires more ongoing maintenance than synthetic materials, the included 2 years of maintenance service is particularly valuable on cedar installations.
Cedar is a natural roofing material, so a little maintenance goes a long way.
Ongoing Maintenance Through Foremost:
Regular professional inspections are a good way to catch debris buildup, damaged shakes, flashing issues, and drainage problems before they become larger repairs.
