Natural cedar shake roofs continue to be a sought-after choice in South Barrington and the surrounding Barrington area, offering a timeless appearance and natural durability. While some homeowners are opting for composite shake alternatives that require less maintenance, many still appreciate the authentic beauty and performance of a natural cedar shake roof. Cedar’s natural oils provide insulation and its ability to swell up when wet enhances waterproofing by closing gaps. With proper maintenance, a cedar roof replacement can last for decades, adding character and charm to Barrington homes while maintaining excellent protection against the elements.

We take pride in advising homeowners on the best options for roof replacement with natural cedar shake or synthetic shake to ensure they choose the best solution for their home. For this cedar roof replacement in South Barrington, the homeowner chose to stay with natural cedar shake for its traditional aesthetic and proven reliability. To further add to the durability of the roof, we installed new copper valleys for proper drainage and durability in high water-flow areas, and new copper flashings for additional long-term waterproofing. This project also involved skylight replacement, which tie the entire roof and home together.

As many homes in the Barrington area approach the 20- to 30-year mark, replacing aging cedar roofs is becoming a priority for homeowners looking to maintain both curb appeal and long-term performance. Whether homeowners decide on cedar shake in Barrington or composite shake in South Barring, we make sure that every installation is done with expert craftsmanship for a roof that stands the test of time.
