The cedar shakes and cedar shingles we recommend and install are from well-regarded manufacturers such as G&R Cedar, Ltd., Anbrook Industries, Waska Cedar and Teal Cedar Products. They come pressure treated with fire retardants and chemical preservatives for increased fire resistance and to prevent premature rot and decay. What’s more, we are trained and authorized to offer our customers the highest level of warranty for each of these vendors.

Shakes, sawn on one side and split on the other, provide an even more desirable aesthetic appeal while delivering durability, bio-degradable characteristics, low carbon footprint and impact resistance.
