Cedar Shake Roofs
All homeowners in Colorado with cedar shake roofs know that the time will come when they must consider either cedar shake repair or cedar shake replacement. Fortunately, proper maintenance will allow you to keep your cedar roof in good shape for many, many years. All roofs need replacing eventually, but professional maintenance and treatment can push back the replacement date for some time.
When cedar remains untreated and exposed to the elements, it will eventually become dull in color and will frequently curl or split. Once your shakes become too far gone, your only option is cedar shake replacement. Even leaving your roof untreated and exposed for a few years can be enough to cause damage. If you have left your roof untreated for some time, it would be worthwhile to contact a cedar roof specialist as soon as you can.
