Cedar Shake Roof Maintenance

We inspect shingles, flashing, and gutters, cleaning and repairing minor problems as needed. This keeps your roof strong and your home dry.
Our maintenance approach accounts for local storms, snow, and seasonal changes, helping your roof last longer and look well-kept.

Cedar shakes can fade, split, or warp over time, especially after heavy snow, strong winds, or Midwest storms. These conditions slowly wear down the wood, affecting both the look and strength of your roof.
We clean, inspect, and replace only the damaged shakes, treating the wood to restore durability and appearance. The roof looks renewed and stands strong against future storms, keeping your home protected and well-maintained.
Cedar Shake Roofing Systems We Offer

Our team places each shake carefully, ensuring proper spacing and secure nailing. With regular maintenance to clear debris, your roof stays strong, protects your home, and keeps its natural charm for years.
Taper-Sawn Cedar Shakes

Benefits of Cedar Shake Roofing
Cedar shake roofing gives your home a natural wood look that stands out in the neighborhood. It boosts curb appeal while blending with classic and modern styles in Nebraska and Iowa.
- Natural Wood Look: Enhances curb appeal and home character

- Durable Material: Resists rot, splitting, and moisture damage
- Improved Insulation: Helps maintain comfortable indoor temperatures
- Long Lifespan: Built to last for decades with proper care
Cedar Shake vs Cedar Shingles
- Cedar shakes are thicker and split or tapered for better water resistance and a more textured, natural look. They are ideal if you want durability and long-term protection.
- Cedar shingles are uniform and quicker to install, with a lower upfront cost. They still look great but don’t offer the same thickness or water resistance.
We guide homeowners through these choices so you can decide what fits your budget, style, and long-term needs, making sure you get the best cedar shake roofing for your home.
