A complete roof replacement by Allstate Roofing includes 6 core components.
Cedar shingles are machine-cut for a smooth, uniform appearance. They are thinner than shakes and lay flat, producing a clean, refined look. Cedar shingles are an excellent choice for homes where a more formal or traditional aesthetic is desired.
Cedar shakes are hand-split or sawn to produce a thicker, more textured surface with natural variation in grain and profile. The result is a more rustic, dimensional appearance with deep shadow lines that change with the movement of natural light. Shakes are generally thicker than shingles, providing slightly greater weather resistance and insulation value.
Untreated cedar is naturally resistant to rot and insects due to its inherent oils, but treated and preservative-applied wood shake products offer extended protection in wet climates. Fire-retardant treatments are also available for areas where building codes or insurance requirements call for them.
Wood roofing in Maine's damp, forested climate requires attentive maintenance to perform at its best. Moss, lichen, and algae growth are common concerns and can accelerate wood deterioration if left unaddressed. Periodic cleaning, treatment, and the application of protective sealants significantly extend the life of a cedar roof. Proper attic ventilation and roof design that promotes drying also play important roles.
Our maintenance team provides regular inspections and treatments to keep wood shake roofs performing well and looking beautiful for as long as possible. A well-maintained cedar roof can last 25 to 40 years in the right conditions.
Wood shake roofing is a premium product that delivers exceptional aesthetic value and solid performance when properly installed and maintained. It is best suited for homeowners who appreciate natural materials, are willing to invest in periodic maintenance, and want a roof that stands apart from the ordinary. If you're considering cedar shakes or shingles for your home, contact Allstate Roofing today. Our team will walk you through all your options and help you make the decision that's right for your home and your goals.
