Types of Cedar Roofs We Install
Cedar Shake Roofing
Cedar shake roofing is cut by hand, making each piece unique in shape. This offers a beautiful variance for your roof and can greatly add to the rustic look of your curb appeal. However, it’s essential to have your cedar shake roof installed by a professional, as the non-uniform quality of cedar shakes can mean gaps for leaks when not properly installed.
Cedar Shingle Roofing
Cedar shingles are factory-made and cut by machine, making every piece uniform and the same for a clean-cut roof. You can find panels of different sizes and widths depending on what you want your roof to look like. Because of the way they are manufactured, cedar shingles are less expensive than cedar shakes.

The Pros and Cons of Cedar Roofing
Pros of Cedar Roofing
- Traditional: Not only do cedar roofs look beautiful the day they are installed, but they also look better as they age.
- Insulation: Cedar roofs offer natural energy efficiency and are twice as insulating as asphalt shingles. This helps you save money on your energy bills.
- Sustainable: Cedar roofing is 100% biodegradable at the end of its service life.
Cons of Cedar Roofing
- Expensive: Asphalt shingles can be more vulnerable to wind damage than other roofing types.
- Longevity: While cedar roofs look better with age, they have a lifespan of about 25 years and do not maintain their structural integrity in the same way metal or slate does.
Cedar Roof FAQs
Yes, but for many homeowners, the beauty and durability of cedar roofing is worth the investment.
With proper maintenance, your cedar roof will last up to 25 years. Our team can help teach you the best way to maintain your roof so that it will last as long as possible.
Western red cedar is the most resistant to rot and decay. It has one of the longest lifespans of all North American softwood cedar trees. It’s also the most abundant type.
Outside of the usual yearly cleaning and gutter maintenance, cedar roofs have to receive protective treatments once every three years. These treatments keep the wood fireproof, rot-resistant, and protected against mold.

Fantastic, honest company. Highly recommend them. Jordan is straightforward and knowledgeable, the crew is friendly, and they are extremely efficient. They were glad to answer any questions I had and make sure I understood what they were … More doing. Office staff is very friendly as well! They have an eye for the details that matter in maintaining the integrity of your roof. No regrets going with Roof Medic, and we'll use them for future needs.
UPDATE: used Roof Medic again for a roof replacement, and we continue to love the company. They do excellent work, have a friendly crew, and are highly knowledgeable. They walked us through the insurance claims process, helping us understand what was going on and why every step of the way. Communication is stellar, and we never felt like we were at a loss as to where we were in the process or why. High quality, efficient work. Will definitely use again if the need arises and recommend this company. -
Roof Medic was recommended to us by our insurance agent when we had significant damage following a wind storm. Nick Stewart, who we worked with from day one was extremely professional, responsive & easy to work with. We ended up replacing … More all of our gutters and downspouts along with a full roof replacement, which included a new metal roof above our front porch. Chris, who is Roof Medics production manager ensured our job was done quickly and flawlessly. We couldn’t be happier with how it turned out & would not hesitate to recommend Roof Medic to anyone! Nick and Chris were fantastic to work with, not a single complaint!

Roof Medic exceeded all my expectations, as a homeowner who desires over communication, exceptional work and true value on our hard earned dollars.
From the initial inspection, to dealing with insurances, selection of products, scheduling … More of installation and finally the actual install, Roof Medic was fabulous. I can't over state how nice, professional and a pleasure Nick, Jake and Megan were to work with (great experience).
If you're looking for a firm that walks you through all the details and potential costs (no hidden Change Orders) and are responsive to all your inquires, look no further as this is your team. -
I cannot thank Roof Medic enough. Julian came out to inspect our roof that had a lot of moss growing on it due to very large oak trees shading the property. We were sure we would need to replace it soon but we didn’t realize we had storm … More damage as well. He thoroughly walked us through the insurance claim process and even came out the day the adjuster was here. Our roof ended up being covered by insurance! What a blessing that was for us old retired folks. They estimated that they would possibly need two days to complete the job but they were able to finish in one very full day. It was starting to get dark when they were cleaning up which may be the reason for my only complaint. We have found to date 24 roofing nails on the asphalt driveway. I’m just hoping that none find their way into our tires or any visitors we have. I would still highly recommend Roof Medic.

The entire team at Roof Medic was a pleasure to work with! Incredibly efficient from start to finish. I submitted an online inquiry over the weekend, and I had my inspection already scheduled the following Monday. My inspector Nick was … More ultra efficient and helpful - he gave me a clear rundown of the entire process, and was super responsive every step along the way. Once the materials arrived, I was scheduled right away for a time convenient for my schedule, and the entire job was completed in one (long) day! Chris, the Production Manager, was also helpful in ensuring the roof installation went smoothly, extra materials were picked up quickly, and things were left neat and tidy. Really incredible work all the way around! I enjoyed working with the entire team of professionals at the Roof Medic and can't recommend them enough for anyone in need of roofing services.

Read all the great reviews and being a veteran, I was confident in a veteran owned company. Pat came out and did a great assessment. The insurance company pushed back so I decided just to get the repair done where the leak is at. Paid the … More deposit almost 2 weeks ago and was told that Production will contact me. I haven't heard from Production and when I reach out to the office or Pat I am told they are very busy. I have read in other reviews that their communication is good. I would like to see this. I am not asking for them to get to me fast but since I paid the deposit then at least keep me up to date. I look forward to getting the work done and giving Roof Medic the 5 stars they most likely deserve.
Update: Production reached out to me and scheduled the repair. Looking forward to commenting on the work when it is completed. -
Nick was great about coming to the house he even worked with me to come out to meet the insurance agent. Since it was snowy the insurance agent didn't want to go up to look at the roof so Nick went up for him and took pictures which … More helped the process not get delayed. Knowledgeable about product offerings to help make the right choices for my home. No more leaking roof!

I was part of the committee at Cornerstone Baptist Church that contracted with Roof Medic to install a new roof on our facility. From start to finish Roof Medic and all of their employees were great to work with. I have been in construction … More for almost 50 yrs and have worked around many roofing companies and Roof Medic is the best I have seen. They are very professional, and have the knowledge and experience needed to be able to work well with insurance companies. If there is a legitimate insurance claim, Roof Medic will certainly see that you receive everything that you are entitled to. I highly recommend Roof Medic whether there is an insurance claim or not, because their quality and attention to detail is superb. I recognize a well run project and from start to finish this project was well run and our property was cleaned daily.
