Why Choose a Cedar Shake Roof?

Cedar shake roofs bring warmth, dimension, and long-term performance to your home. When installed by skilled professionals, they deliver unmatched curb appeal and lasting protection from Illinois weather.

Benefits of Cedar Shake Roofing:

• Authentic Appearance: Each shake is individually split for a rich, rustic texture that adds character to any home.

• Superior Insulation: Natural wood fibers help regulate temperature and improve energy efficiency year-round.

• Long Lifespan: Properly maintained cedar shakes can last 30–50 years.

• Eco-Friendly: Cedar is a renewable, biodegradable material sourced from sustainable forests.

• Repairable: Individual shakes can be replaced without disturbing the entire roof.
