If you want to embrace the wonderful rustic appeal, classic charm, and practical benefits of a cedar shake roof for your home or business, the team at Sotero Building Co Inc is up to the task. As a licensed and insured roofing contractor with 40 years of experience, we offer a 10-year workmanship warranty on roof replacement services.
As a roofing material, cedar shake has been around for centuries and complements a variety of architectural styles – traditional, colonial, rustic, or contemporary. Naturally resistant to insects and decay due to the natural oils and resins they contain, cedar shakes provide long-term value as a durable roofing material because it doesn’t need to be replaced very often. This offsets their higher upfront cost. When installed properly with adequate ventilation, a cedar shake roof will last for many decades – even in the most challenging climates. Ongoing maintenance costs tend to be reasonable.
The tones and textures of cedar shakes add a touch of authenticity to any property. Many historical and colonial homes, businesses, and other structures have cedar shake roofs, which adds to their appeal and natural, rustic charm. The shakes weather over time to achieve a silver-gray patina for a timeless look.
Cedar shakes indeed cost more than asphalt shingles, and costs vary based on regional pricing, installation complexity, and the grade of the cedar. However, the beautiful appearance and durability of cedar shakes can increase the value of your property. Cedar shakes are a great selling point for properties on the market.
When we install cedar shakes on your roof, our owner is present to inspect our work. If we perform a complete roof replacement, you’re entitled to a free gutter cleaning and free gutter screens! We will complete all the paperwork for your insurance carrier if the project is part of a claim.
To keep your roofing project affordable, we’ll beat any competitor’s rates if provided with a written estimate. Seniors get a 10% discount on roofing services, and estimates are free to everyone.
Should you have an emergency involving your roof, same-day service is available if you reach out to us in the morning; otherwise, we’ll be there the next business day. Regular appointments are available within a few days. Call or text us for service. We speak Spanish.
Cedar shake roofing has its roots in North America, where it has historical and cultural significance. Cedar trees grew in abundance there. Indigenous peoples used the technique of splitting cedar logs into individual shakes for various structures.
This is because of cedar shake roofing’s historical significance, natural durability, timeless aesthetic appeal, and ability to go well with a wide range of architectural styles.
Usually, cedar shake roofing has a higher upfront cost compared to products such as asphalt shingles. Thanks to their aesthetic appeal, durability, and long-term value, the investment can be justified.
This depends on a variety of factors, such as weather conditions, regularity of maintenance, and the quality of the installation. When cared for properly, cedar shake roofs can last several decades.
We recommend regular cleaning, treatments, and inspections to keep your cedar shake roof looking good and lasting longer. Damaged shakes should be replaced promptly. Protective coatings can preserve their condition.
