Why Choose Cedar Shakes for Your Rochester Roof?

Cedar shake roofing provides a range of benefits that go beyond its stunning appearance. If you’re on the fence about whether cedar shake is right for you, here are some reasons why this renowned roofing material might be the perfect fit for your Rochester home.

Angles Right Icon All-Natural Look & Feel

Cedar shakes provide a rich, textured look that complements traditional and contemporary home designs. The natural variations in color and grain give each shake a distinct character, creating a truly unique roof.

This organic aesthetic blends seamlessly with the natural environment, enhancing your home's curb appeal.

Angles Right Icon Renowned Resistance

Cedar shakes are naturally resistant to the elements, making them an excellent choice for the unpredictable weather in Minnesota. Their inherent properties offer exceptional protection against wind, rain, and hail, ensuring your home stays safe and dry.

Additionally, cedar's natural oils make it resistant to insect damage, enhancing its durability.

Angles Right Icon Creative Customization

Whether you're looking for a classic look or a modern twist, our team can bring your vision to life.

Angles Right Icon Cost-Effective Solution

While cedar shake roofing is undoubtedly an investment, its longevity and minimal maintenance requirements make it a cost-effective option in the long run.
