Wood Shake & Shingle Roofing
Cedar takes upkeep. We repair it, replace it, and tell you straight when a shake roof is past saving.
Wood Shake and Shingle Roofing
Nothing matches the warm, rustic character of a real wood shake roof. Typically cut from cedar with a smooth sawn underlayer and a rough split face, wood shakes replicate the hand cut look of an ax or mallet and give your home traditional curb appeal that asphalt cannot touch.
Weather Tech Renovations has installed countless wood shake roofs across Kansas and Missouri over our 20 plus years, using materials from top manufacturers like CertainTeed, GAF, Owens Corning, and Carlisle.
Why Homeowners Choose Wood Shake
- Wind resistance: Wood shake shingles can withstand winds up to 130 MPH and are highly resistant to hail damage.
- Algae resistance: Quality shakes are constructed to resist the algae growth that plagues other shingle roofs.
- Sustainability: Wood shake is a natural, renewable, 100 percent sustainable material.
- Warranty coverage: Wood shake and shake replica products are protected by limited lifetime manufacturer warranties.
Know Before You Buy: Fire Ratings and Insurance
Straight talk: natural wood shake cannot achieve a Class A fire rating, and some insurance carriers will not fully insure homes with wood shake or will charge higher deductibles. Talk to your insurance agent first. If insurance limits your options, wood shake replicas made from synthetic materials deliver the same aesthetic with a Class A fire rating. We install both, and we will tell you honestly which makes sense for your situation.
Every install carries our 5-Year Workmanship Guarantee on top of manufacturer warranties. Call (816) 988-8957 for a free consultation.
