Residential Cedar Shake Roofing Indianapolis
Cedar shakes have long been used in homes to add rustic charm. Crafted from various wood species such as pine, cypress and redwood and constructed to resist decay while offering an appealing silver-gray hue which gradually fades to become natural over time, they secure fasteners securely while acting as an excellent insulator by keeping homes cool during summer months and warm during winter.
Cedar shakes can last for 30 years when properly maintained, adding an elegant accent to your home and providing a timeless appearance. However, their lifespan could be drastically diminished if they are neglected and not regularly treated and cleaned.
