What Are Cedar Shakes Shingles?
Cedar shakes shingles are a roofing material made from cedar wood. Typically cut from Western Red Cedar, cedar shakes are recognizable by their natural, rustic appearance. They’re thicker than other roofing choices, making them a sturdy choice in residential roofing.
There are two types of cedar shakes: hand split and tapersawn. Hand-split cedar shakes offer a more natural and rustic look to your roofing, while tapersawn shakes look smoother. Both types of shakes will give your home a unique, natural aesthetic.
There are three grades of cedar shakes to choose from:
- Common: Common cedar shakes have the lowest grade, which makes them the most affordable. They can, however, curl quicker and easier than the other grades.
- Select: Select cedar shakes are a combination of grain and straight grain, with better resilience compared to common shakes.
- Straight: Straight cedar shakes are the highest quality grade, making them the most robust and least likely to curl.
What to Know About Cedar Shake Roofing
Cedar shake roofing is very striking and unique. If you’re looking for roofing that’s a little out of the box, cedar shakes may be the way to go. It’s important to understand the maintenance required to upkeep cedar shake roofing and how time and outdoor elements will alter your roof’s appearance.
Cedar shake roofing is known to be bright and light, but over time, the shakes will darken, especially if you experience extreme weather, which is common in the Atlanta, GA, area. If you’re okay with your roofing changing color over time, it’s good to know that cedar shake shingles can last up to 30 years, if properly installed by a pro company like Findlay Roofing. Your roof will require occasional maintenance, so making room in your budget for regular upkeep is a must.

“Findlay was so professional and the customer experience we had with them was phenomenal.”Misty B.
I was very impressed at how clean they left it.
"Findlay was so professional and the customer experience we had with them was phenomenal. Our insurance gave us 2 weeks to get a new roof or they would stop our home owners insurance coverage due to our roof being in too poor condition. Findlay took this stressful and time sensitive situation very serious and they were there for us every step of the way. They scheduled us for an inspection appointment right away and set us up with financing options. They were able to rush our application and schedule the new roof install the same week! They began work at 7am and completed by 1pm. They left my property super clean, I could not see any debris or nails anywhere. I was very impressed at how clean they left it. Cannot thank everyone involved enough."- Misty B. -

Thank you for making the experience a positive one.
"We wanted to share the great experience we had working with Findlay Roofing. It started with the Roof Inspector, Dennis Hurley. His thorough inspection provided us with the information required to make the purchase decision. He was very knowledgeable and made us feel we were making the right decision. The second individual we worked with was Devona from the Business Office. She was able to schedule the installation quickly and was very professional whenever we called asking questions about the process and invoicing. Lastly, the Crew Leader, Alexander Hernandez, and his team. They were exceptional. They work tirelessly completing the work in one day and leaving the properly neat and clean. Thank you for making the experience a positive one."- Steve S.
