Deep Dive into Wood Shake Roofing:
Wood shake roofing, with its natural allure, has been a favorite for homeowners who desire a blend of traditional aesthetics and durability. Here’s a comprehensive look:
Natural Origins
Wood shakes are traditionally crafted from cedar, redwood, or pine. The type of wood not only influences the aesthetic appeal but also the durability and resistance against elements.

Distinct from wood shingles that are machine-cut, wood shakes are hand-split. This process gives them a rustic, textured appearance, ensuring each shake has its own unique profile.
