Cedar Shingles & Wood Shingle Roof Systems
Wood & Cedar Shingle Roofing Systems
Wood roofs have a look and aesthetic appeal unlike any other roofing product. Wood shingles and wood shakes can be made of cedar, spruce, and pine. Wood roofing lasts as long as asphalt shingles and are used more in many locations around Arizona to maintain that traditional appeal.
Residential Wood Shingle Products
Wood roofing products are a very diverse product set. Wood shakes or shingles are usually crafted from cedar or redwood, but can be other durable wood products. Some are hybrid products mixed with rubber, others are wood imitations. There are many things to consider when selecting such a shingle, specifically climate and locale. A wood option while more decorative, may be more costly for homeowner insurance, as it poses a greater fire risk. There are methods to mitigate risks, but cost is still a factor here.

Choosing Between Wood Shake Roof vs. Shingles
Not all homeowners have an easy time making decisions when it comes to choosing the right roofing materials.
However, with our expert roofing installation team, all your questions will be answered and we will help you make the right decision. If you’re trying to decide whether you should pic wood shake roofing or shingles, consider the following factors:
Aesthetic Appeal
Wood shakes offer a rustic appearance, especially with the help of natural cedar shakes. Shingle roofs provide a uniform appearance that is suitable for traditional and modern styles of homes.
Durable
Many homeowners like roofing materials that offer higher durability. In this respect, shingles are more durable, lasting up to 30 years. But, if wood shakes are properly maintained, they can also last 20-30 years.
Maintenance Requirements
Wood shake roofing needs more maintenance, including periodic cleaning, mold and mildew treatment, and replacement of damaged wood shakes. Shingles, especially asphalt shingles, are usually low-maintenance, requiring occasional inspections and repairs.
Cost of Installation
Wood shake roofing will typically have higher upfront costs compared to shingles. However, long-term costs can vary depending on factors such as maintenance needs and the lifespan of the materials.
Environmental Impact
Wood shakes are a natural, renewable resource, and as a result, they are an environmentally friendly option. Shingles, especially asphalt shingles, often contain petroleum-based products and have a shorter lifespan, potentially contributing to landfill waste.
