This shake doesn't bake – or break

wood shake shingles offer a durable, aesthetic option for homeowners seeking an alternative to composition.

In roofing, the term “shake” refers to thick, textured cedar shingles. Before modern manufacturing, wooden shingles were sawed from a block of cedar and shingles were split from the block. This splitting created the texture known as shake.

Today's automated manufacturing process has not diminished the beauty of this roofing material.

“Now, as then, shake shingles have a rustic, organic look and feel. ”

An alternative to wood shake is an equally appealing synthetic shake shingle. In addition to possessing natural beauty, shake shingles – whether wood or synthetic – are thick and durable.

Other benefits
• Cedar shake shingles are an environmentally-sound choice and contain no oil-based products. They're made of cedar trees, a renewable resource.

• Cedar shingles are also lightweight. The reason this matters is that many specialty roofs (clay, tile, slate) are extremely heavy and require a uniquely engineered roof. With cedar shake roofing, there are no special requirements.
