A new cedar shake roof is probably one of the most eye catching roofs there are. With the golden hues of fresh cedar reflecting the sun’s rays, everyone passing your home will notice the new wood shake roof. That was exactly what the homeowner wanted, and what Smart Roofing Inc. delivered.

Installing a new cedar shake roof like this one in Palatine is always exciting, but can also be a little stressful for a homeowner. A roofer needs to have experience with cedar shake roofs, and Smart Roofing has 25+ years of experience in the business. We have done hundreds of cedar shake roofs, and this one was done with medium hand-split cedar shakes. The experience comes in when selecting the grade of shakes, to make sure the roof lasts as long as possible. You have to trust your roofer to have the necessary knowledge not only in installation, but choosing the correct cedar shakes. Improper grain direction made from sub-par cedar cuts will cause the individual cedar shakes to curl and lift up. This can in turn lead to leaks and further roof damage. With our experience of replacing cedar shake roofs, we know exactly which cuts to choose and how to properly install them. This roof in Palatine is a perfect example of a beautiful roof that will last for decades.
