Have you always longed for the romantic, cottage look of a cedar shake roof? Do you want to add that elegant, classic look that blends in with the landscape? A wooden roof is for you.

The look of a wood shingle roof is hard to beat, especially in the northeast. The rich, layered look exudes charm and stability. Usually made of cedar, these roofs start out a warm, golden color that fades to gray or silver as they age. Wood roofing allows for good air circulation and is very durable. A well-maintained wooden roof can last for up to 50 years.

Things to Know about Wood Roofing

Unlike asphalt roofs, wood roofing requires periodic maintenance to replace any broken or split shingles as well as to remove any moss that may have started to grow on the roof. Although it is durable, wood shingles are one of the more expensive roofing options.
