DOES YOUR CEDAR ROOF LOOK LIKE THIS?
Curling
CURLING
Curling is a natural and expected part of cedar shingle aging. It exposes your roof underlayment to the elements and causes leaks. It also affects the natural beauty.
LICHEN INFESTATIONS
Lichen ends up on your roof over time from organic debris that falls. Algae or fungus gets dropped by the wind, which traps humidity and accelerating wear & tear.
MOSS
Moss develops in shaded, poorly ventilated and moist areas of the roof due to surrounding tree branches. Cedar shingles may look dry, but they retain water content .
ANIMAL DAMAGE
Animals such as bats, racoons and squirrels may have created a nest inside your roof, which can cause water leaks, noises and electrical wire damage.
SPLIT SHINGLES (WEATHERING DAMAGE)
Some wood splits naturally due to exposure to heat and moisture. The shingle may become loose and expose the bottom layer of the roof which can cause water leaks.
SPLIT OR MISSING RIDGE CAPS
Cedar ridge caps are first to be blown off or damaged during a windy storm, because the staples that hold the two pieces of cedar together deteriorates.

RIDGE CAP REPLACEMENT
We inspect the roof first to identify damaged, cracked, loose or missing ridge caps. If the damage is minimal, we can surgically repair or replace ridge caps, otherwise, we recommend replacing full ridge cap lines.
CEDAR SHINGLE AND SHAKE REPLACEMENT
We inspect the roof first to identify damaged, cracked, loose, curled or missing cedar shingles or shakes. We replace all significantly damaged shingles and shakes, and we re-nail loose ones that are in acceptable condition.
SHIMMING
After cedar roof repairs are complete, we inspect the roof for small holes or cracks between the shingles or shakes that may cause leakage. We close those holes or cracks by adding shims between the shingles.
