Keeping a wood shake roof healthy
Natural wood needs a little care to look its best and last. We’ve spent more than twenty years meeting the special requirements of wood shake roofs in Minnesota.
- Keep it cleanMoss, leaves and debris hold moisture against the wood. Regular cleaning helps your roof last.
- Let it breatheGood attic ventilation lets shakes dry out after rain and snow, which slows wear.
- Catch problems earlyReplacing a few split or loose shakes now is far cheaper than repairing water damage later.
Metal shake and stone-coated steel
If you’d rather skip the maintenance, metal shake profiles and stone-coated steel such as Decra give you a shake look that sheds snow and shrugs off hail.
“They did our Decra stone-coated steel shingle roof 10 years ago and it still shows no signs of wear. High winds and hail cause us no worries with this roof!”
