Shake Roofing

Wood shake installs, repairs, and replacements

Wood shake roofs have a distinctive look that fits certain Coachella Valley architecture. We install, repair, and replace cedar shake roofs with proper underlayment, fire-rated felt where required, and the ventilation a shake roof needs to last in the desert.

What we do with shake

• Full shake re-roofs with new underlayment and ventilation
• Cedar shake repairs, course-by-course replacement
• Fire-treated and Class-A rated shake assemblies where code requires
• Conversions from shake to a longer-lasting material where appropriate
• New flashing at chimneys, walls, and valleys

How long it takes

Shake roofs are slower to install than shingle or tile because every course is hand-set and spaced. A typical single-family shake re-roof runs five to seven working days.

When to replace vs convert

If you love the look and the structure is sound, we re-roof in shake. If the substructure or fire-rating requirements push the cost past comparable tile or architectural shingle, we walk you through the trade-offs honestly before any signature.
