Few roofing materials offer the timeless beauty and architectural character of cedar shake and wood shingle roofing. For generations, cedar roofs have been valued for their natural appearance, durability, insulation properties, and ability to enhance the curb appeal of a home. Whether installed on a custom residence, luxury property, mountain-style home, historic structure, or architecturally distinctive residence, cedar roofing creates a level of warmth and visual depth that few other roofing materials can replicate. The unique texture, natural grain patterns, and aging characteristics of cedar allow every roof to develop its own distinctive appearance over time. Cedar roofing continues to be one of the most recognizable premium roofing materials available today.

Understanding the Difference Between Cedar Shakes & Wood Shingles

Although the terms are often used interchangeably, cedar shakes and cedar shingles are not exactly the same product. Cedar shingles are machine-sawn, creating a more uniform thickness and smoother appearance. Their consistent profile provides a cleaner, more refined aesthetic that works well on traditional homes, custom residences, and properties seeking a classic roofing appearance while maintaining the natural beauty associated with real wood roofing.

Cedar shakes, by contrast, are split rather than fully sawn, resulting in a thicker profile and more textured appearance. The uneven surface creates deeper shadow lines and a more rustic aesthetic often associated with mountain homes, craftsman architecture, lodge-style properties, and high-end custom residences. Both materials offer excellent curb appeal and natural beauty, and our roofers help homeowners determine which option best aligns with their property, architectural style, and long-term goals.
