Shake Roofing

Pros & Cons of Cedar Shake Roofing for Your Dayton, Ohio Home

Shake roofing, usually made of cedar, gives you a good combination of style of longevity in a roof. If you’re looking to sell your home fairly soon, cedar shake roofs installed can give your home something extra, increasing both its curb appeal and your potential profit on the house.

Shake roofs typically last for 20 to 30 years, which is about 10 years longer than the average asphalt shingle roof. Cedar also acts as a natural insulator, which can help with energy efficiency.

However, cedar shake roofs, since they are wood, are very susceptible to fire damage. This may also lead to a higher premium on your homeowners insurance policy. However, it is possible to treat cedar shake roofs to make them more fire-resistant.

You will also have to check and maintain cedar shake roofs periodically to prevent mold growth.

"Replaced the existing siding on my home. Contact and price were discussed thoroughly during the initial discussions. Workers arrived at the scheduled time and were professional in the removal, new installation, cleanup, and onsite conduct. Communication between supervisors, installers and myself was on a daily basis and any issues were addressed immediately. Would not hesitate to use this company again or recommend them."

Beecher R.

"We chose American Way Exteriors to replace our old vinyl siding with Hardie board siding and trim. Throughout the entire process we found the team to be very professional and receptive to our questions about the project. They were constantly in touch with us about when work would start, what to expect each day of the project, and followed up to see if we had concerns. As the project began it was very apparent our house had suffered from poor installation by the builder years ago. The American Way team worked to fix the problems, keeping us well informed along the way. We could not be happier with the finished project both cosmetically and structurally. This is definitely a company we highly recommend exterior projects!"
