Are Composite Shakes in Your Roof’s Future?
You don’t need a magical crystal ball or a palm reader to know if your house needs a new roof. If you have cedar shake roofing, just go outside and look up. Curling, dry cedar roofing shakes or cedar roof shingles with insect infestations are a sure sign that you’ll soon be looking for a new roof.
Sometimes signs are more obvious, like the lightning strike that damaged the previous natural shake roof on the home in this video. Thanks to homeowner research and an award-winning installation by Walsh Roofing, this home is now protected by a DaVinci Class A Fire Rated composite shake roof.
