What Are Cedar Shakes?
Cedar shakes are thick, wooden blocks that either sawn or hand split and have a rugged appearance. They are used in a number of building projects like rooftops and siding.
They shouldn't be confused with typical wooden shingles, which are thinner. One key difference between shingles and shakes, besides their weight, is their lifespan.
Cedar shingles have been known to last anywhere from 15 to 20 years while cedar shakes can last up to 50 years with the proper maintenance.
Cedar shake roofing is also popular with many homeowners because of its inherently pleasing aesthetic qualities. By having a roof made of cedar shakes, you can give your home a beautiful, classic look that blends well with many styles of architecture and may be unique among homes in your area.
Many roofing contractors will also tell you that cedar shakes are popular for their durability against things like rain, hail and UV light.
Because cedar shakes are so resistant against the natural occurrences that can harm many other types of roofing, this can minimize your need for things like leaky roof repair and other types of roof repairs that many homeowners need to resort to from time to time.
These qualities, paired with the fact that cedar shakes are a natural insulator, will also increase your home's resale value when the time comes to sell it. The fact that your home has a long lasting, beautiful and energy efficient roof will make it an attractive prospect to potential home buyers in the future
If cedar shake roofing is something that you want added to your home, then you need the services of a trained and certified residential roofing contractor in order to get the job done.
Working with a Contractor
When working with roofing companies, the first thing you want to do is get an estimate of the job that you want done. The estimate will give you a detailed description you what kind of work is to be done, how much it will cost and how long the job will take to complete.
Companies who do contract home improvement work build their reputations on being able to satisfy their customers with high quality jobs that are exactly to the specifications that the customer has laid out in front of them, so look for someone who is willing to work closely with you in order to get the work done.
Because the roof is such an integral part to the safety and protection that your home provides to your family, you want to make sure that any work, maintenance, repair or otherwise, is done with the utmost care and expertise.
