Cedar Shake Roof Repair and Treatment
Cedar shake roofs look warm and natural. But wood needs care. Shade, moss, and wet leaves can wear it down fast.
We repair split shakes, treat the wood, and replace cedar roofs when the time comes.
Signs your cedar roof needs care
- Green moss or dark mold on the shakes
- Shakes are split, cupped, or curled
- Some shakes are missing or loose
- The wood feels soft or crumbly
How we care for cedar
- 1We check the shakes and tell you what can be saved.
- 2We replace split or missing shakes to match.
- 3We gently clean the roof. We do not use high pressure that tears up wood.
- 4We can apply a treatment to help slow moss and rot.
Shade makes it worse
Many homes around Doylestown have big trees. Shade keeps cedar wet longer. Trimming branches can help the roof last.
No layering over shake
A new roof cannot go on top of wood shake. The old shakes must come off first.
Clear the leaves
Leaves stuck between shakes hold water. Keeping them clear helps a lot.
