What Is Cedar Shingle Roofing?

Cedar shingles perform well in a number of areas, including weather, fire, and pest resistance. They’re cut from real wood, so these shingles add to a home’s aesthetic with a classic look. Likewise, cedar is breathable and a good insulator. Synthetic cedar shake roof tiles are a synthetic alternative that’s lighter and more durable. This material also offers superior impact resistance. Likewise, synthetic cedar holds its color well over decades. It’s a cost-effective solution that requires minimal maintenance over the life of your roof.

Benefits of Cedar Shingle Roofing

Whether you opt for natural or synthetic materials, cedar shingles are an excellent choice.

  • Appearance: They have a gorgeous natural appearance that suits the historical style of many houses in the Greater Boston and MetroWest region.
  • Energy efficiency: Cedar shingles are excellent insulators that keep cooling and heating in.
  • Longevity: Natural and synthetic cedar shingles outperform products like asphalt shingles.

For homeowners on a budget or roofs that require lighter shingles, we recommend synthetic cedar shakes. You get most of the aesthetic benefits of wood shakes in a lighter and more durable material.

FAQs

A shake is a hand-split product that’s usually a bit thicker and has a more natural shape. Shingles are machine-cut, thinner, and more uniform. Both are beautiful options, but cedar shakes tend to have a more rustic appearance compared to shingles.
Natural cedar shingles usually survive for 20 to 25 years, while natural cedar shakes can last up to 40 years. For both types, lifespan is dependent on proper professional installation and ongoing maintenance. Synthetic cedar shakes and shingles can last around 40 years, and some manufacturers offer versions with warranties up to 50 years. Synthetic cedar is more resistant to moisture and UV damage.
We strongly discourage pressure washing. Pressure washing removes natural protective oils from wood shakes and is too harsh, potentially causing damage. It can force water under shingles and loosen them prematurely. Our roof cleaning method employs a soft brush and low-pressure rinse.
