Cedar roof treatment
Cedar roof treatment involves applying a specialized treatment that prevents deterioration and preserves the wood’s natural beauty. The treatment is an eco-friendly chemical that penetrates, oils, stains and seals the wood and creates a breathable protective barrier.
Cedar roof treatment is essential for maintaining the longevity and aesthetic appeal of cedar shingles and shakes. Over time, cedar roofs can become weathered and damaged by the elements (such as sun, rain, wind, snow) and greens (such as moss, algae, mildew).
Cedar roof treatment considerably extends the cedar roof lifespan.
Why do I need cedar roof treatment?
We recommend it strongly! Cedar roof treatment protects the wood from damage caused by the elements and greens. It also helps maintain the cedar roof’s aesthetic appeal and structural integrity over time.
What kind of products do you use?
We use the best cedar roof treatment products, including Timber Pro and CBR Products. Our products are certified and specifically intended for cedar roof applications.
Does your treatment have chemicals or bleach?
No, it does not. It is an oil-based cedar roof treatment that is eco-friendly and not harmful to plants.
How long does the treatment last?
It depends on the geographical location, the exposure to the sun and the elements, and the proximity to trees and plants. We recommend cedar roof restoration (including treatment) every 5 years on average.
Do you have to clean before applying treatment?
Yes, you do. We strongly recommend cleaning and repairing your cedar roof to ensure that any layers of greens (like moss or algae) are removed and the maximum surface exposure and material penetration is achieved by the treatment.
Does treatment change the appearance of my roof?
Absolutely! After treatment, the cedar roof showcases a rich and natural appearance that has a milk chocolate tone with a warm honey-toned glow. The wood’s grain becomes more defined and the overall look is very appealing.
