Aditya B.
Shake Guys were fantastic to work with. I just had roof treatment done for my cedar shake roof. The inspection, quote, scheduling, and the actual work on the day were all managed really well. And they were proactive in enquiring about satisfaction and feedback on the work. I would recommend and go back to them again.

From the initial estimate to the final inspection they kept us informed of the entire process and what to expect at every stage of the project. The final result was amazingly aesthetic and adds not just curb appeal but real value to our home, it reduced our homeowners insurance by approximately 10% and surely makes us the envy of our neighbors, well done!!

Michelle M.
I could not be happier with either the Shake Guys or the work that they did for me. Their patience with the process, the HOA, and weather have been beyond expectations. They did a beautiful job, left my property in pristine shape, and worked with numerous other trades to coordinate completion in less time than anticipated. I could not be happier. Each contact has been terrific.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why should I repair my cedar roof?
Over time, as your roof ages, your cedar shakes will start to deteriorate, crack and become brittle, which makes them susceptible to heavy winds, hailstorms and long cold winters. Repairing these damaged or missing shakes will ensure that no open areas of your roof are exposed, which could lead to further deterioration and potential roof leaks. After your roof is repaired, we highly recommend a preservation treatment to improve the longevity of your cedar roof.
Why should I choose a cedar shake roof?
A cedar shake roof is a viable option for homeowners looking for a durable, natural, and visually appealing roofing material. Here are some key reasons why you might choose cedar shakes:
1. Natural Beauty
2. Durability
3. Energy Efficiency
4. Environmentally Friendly
5. Strong Against the Elements
6. Increases Property Value
7. Customization Options
Why should I preserve my cedar roof?
Cedar roofs require maintenance to maximize the life of the roof. Cedar is raw wood that is exposed to the outdoor elements. Because of this, the cedar will age and start to deteriorate and become damaged over time. Extensive Sun exposure and areas of the roof with a lot of tree coverage, will accelerate the aging and deterioration process of cedar shakes. Using an environmentally safe preservation product to specifically protect cedar will prolong the life of the roof.
Do you provide insurance claim assistance?
Yes, if your cedar roof was potentially damaged by wind or hail, we can evaluate your roof’s condition to determine whether or not you should consider filing an insurance claim. If an insurance claim is filed, we can help you navigate this difficult process. If your roof claim is approved for replacement, we’ll replace your roof with true cedar or composite tiles from DaVinci, Brava or EcoStar, using the highest quality standards.
