Transform your home’s skyline with the organic sophistication of authentic wood shingle roofing. While synthetic materials attempt to mimic the look of nature, nothing matches the cellular density and architectural warmth of real timber.
Our expert team specializes in the technical application of taper-sawn wood shingles, which offer a cleaner, more tailored appearance than rugged shakes. By utilizing specialized “breather” membranes and stainless steel fasteners, we eliminate the moisture traps that lead to premature wood rot, providing a resilient, breathable exterior that regulates your home’s temperature while developing a distinguished silver-gray patina over time.
Invest in a roofing system that prioritizes structural longevity and natural beauty. We combine master-level carpentry with advanced ventilation strategies to ensure your wood shingles dry evenly after every rain, preventing the cupping and splitting associated with poor installation. Whether you are restoring a coastal estate or finishing a custom mountain home, our specialized wood roofing services reinforce your property’s thermal envelope, offering a premium, sustainable solution that technically and visually surpasses industrial alternatives.
We exclusively install Blue Label certified shingles, ensuring that every piece is 100% heartwood, 100% clear grain, and 100% edge grain. This technical standard is vital for dimensional stability; edge-grain shingles are far less likely to warp or twist under intense UV exposure compared to lower-grade flat-grain wood.
Wood is a natural insulator with a significantly higher R-value than asphalt. Our installation process includes the use of specialized cedar-breather mats, which create a continuous air space beneath the shingles. This allows the wood to breathe from both sides, reducing attic heat in the summer and preventing the moisture buildup that leads to structural decay.
Unlike standard roofing, wood requires precision-gapping to account for natural expansion. We utilize 304-grade stainless steel ring-shank nails to prevent tannin bleeding—the black streaks caused by reacting with galvanized fasteners. This careful approach ensures your roof remains structurally sound and aesthetically clean for decades.
A wood roof is a living system that requires specialized knowledge to maintain its integrity. We understand that improper drainage is the #1 killer of wood shingles; our professional installation and precision care service provides the industrial-grade moisture protection and ventilation your property needs to stay dry and remarkable.

Western Red Cedar and Eastern White Cedar contain natural oils (thujaplicins) that act as a built-in preservative against decay and insects. However, keeping the roof free of debris like leaves and needles is critical, as organic buildup can trap moisture and override the wood’s natural defenses.
It is not recommended. While wood is strong, the shingles can be brittle when dry, and foot traffic can cause them to crack or split. If maintenance is required (such as gutter cleaning), it should be done by a professional using specialized equipment or from a ladder to avoid damaging the wood fibers.
If you prefer the new wood look, you must apply a UV-inhibiting oil or semi-transparent stain every 3 to 5 years. Without treatment, the wood will naturally weather to a silver-gray patina. Many homeowners prefer this silver look, as it is a hallmark of authentic wood roofing and does not affect the structural integrity of the shingles.
A Cedar Breather is a three-dimensional nylon matrix installed between the roof deck and the shingles. It creates a space that allows air to circulate under the wood. Without it, moisture gets trapped between the shingle and the plywood deck, causing the wood to rot from the inside out. We consider this a non-negotiable component of an expert-level installation.
