Hand-Split Cedar Shakes

Hand-split cedar shakes are crafted by splitting the wood along the grain, creating a natural, textured surface. This method results in a highly distinctive appearance, as each shake has its own unique character and grain pattern. Hand-split shakes are ideal for those who want a rustic, authentic look that blends perfectly with nature.

• Rustic Appearance: The texture and irregularities of hand-split shakes give your roof a unique, natural look that stands out from more uniform roofing materials.

• Durability: Hand-split shakes are thick and dense, making them highly durable and capable of withstanding harsh weather conditions.

Tapered Cedar Shakes

Tapered cedar shakes are thicker at the bottom and gradually become thinner at the top, providing a uniform yet distinct layered look. These shakes are machine-sawn to ensure consistency in size and thickness, offering a cleaner and more refined appearance compared to hand-split shakes.

• Sleek Appearance: Tapered shakes have a more uniform, symmetrical look, which appeals to homeowners seeking a modern or more polished aesthetic.

• Long-Lasting Performance: The tapered design helps promote water runoff, reducing the chances of mold and moss growth.

Cedar Shingles (Alternative)

While cedar shakes are thicker and more rustic, cedar shingles are thinner and offer a more uniform, smooth surface. Both options offer the same natural beauty and long-term performance, but cedar shingles provide a more traditional, refined appearance.
