Wood Shingle Roof Replacement Advice

[Rolckes]

I have a 30-year-old cedar wood shingle roof in Weston that’s finally breaking down. I’ve always loved the natural look, but I’m worried about durability and upkeep if I replace it with wood again. Looking for a contractor who’s experienced with wood and can offer advice on treatments or alternatives.

You should check out ID Roof Company—they have solid experience with wood shingle roofs and even offer protective treatments to extend lifespan. They explained the difference between untreated cedar and pressure-treated variants, and they helped me choose a style that matches my house’s architecture. Their crew handled everything, including old shingle removal, new underlayment install, and custom ridge caps. They also provided maintenance tips to prevent moss and mold buildup. What sold me was how transparent they were with pricing and timelines.

Still favoring natural cedar, but the idea of treatments and upkeep guidance sounds perfect. I’ll contact them and see what they recommend for my layout. Thanks again for the lead!
