Wood shake, real cedar done right
Cedar shake is one of the most beautiful roofs in Idaho - and one of the most neglected. We repair, restore and replace it properly.
Why homeowners choose it
Nothing else looks like real cedar. Shake handles Idaho sun and snow well when it is maintained, and a properly maintained shake roof can serve for decades. We inspect, repair, oil and replace shake regularly - work most Treasure Valley roofers simply do not take on.
Where it fits
Custom and estate homes where the roof carries the architecture, and established neighborhoods built with cedar. If your shake roof is aging, restoration is often worth pricing before replacement is.
Worth knowing
Shake takes real experience - walking it without damaging it, repairing it correctly and knowing when a roof is past saving. Ask any bidder how many shake roofs they have actually worked. If replacement makes more sense than restoration, we will tell you that with photos.
Common questions
Often, yes. If the shakes are structurally sound, cleaning and treatment can add real years of service. We inspect first, show you photos of what we find, and give you a straight answer either way.
It depends on sun exposure and the roof itself, which is why we start with an inspection. We will give you a maintenance schedule based on your actual roof, not a generic number.
