Wood Shake Roofing Repair & Restoration in Sacramento, CA
Repair it or replace it?
If a wood shake roof is well maintained, it can last a long time, even up to 50 years, before it needs to be replaced. Routine maintenance and repairs may involve washing moss off, installing metal shims, patching, and applying topical treatments. The environment and weather play a significant role in how well a wood shake roof will age. How long a roof lasts can depend on the quality of the product and installation, which can make a significant difference after one or two decades.
The significant problems homeowners may notice are loose shakes, moss covering, missing shingles, warping, and cracking. Frequently those signs will result in a large or small leak. However, having damaged cedar shakes or a leak doesn’t automatically mean that you must replace the whole roof.
Wood shake roofs are not quite as popular as they were in the past due to their high cost. They require much more effort to install than traditional shingle roofs; if neglected, they may have shorter lifespans and are restricted by local regulations in some communities. Replacement of a wood shake roof can be cost-prohibitive—if you have evident damage, repairing and restoring such a roof would more than likely be the most cost-effective approach.
Noah’s Roofing, one of Sacramento’s most highly respected wood shake roofing companies serving the Roseville, El Dorado Hills, Elk Grove, Cameron Park, Carmichael, Fair Oaks, Davis areas, discusses your options.
What is wood shake roofing?
Wood shake roofing is quite beautiful—the unevenness of the shakes creates an aesthetically pleasing appearance. However, people often mistake traditional wood roof tiles with wood shake roofing—in fact, they are quite different.
- Roof tiles that are constructed from wood have a very uniform appearance.
- Wood shakes are very dissimilar from each other; they are uneven and appear to be raised, providing a unique esthetic effect.
- The shakes are typically manufactured from cypress, western red cedar, redwood, or pine.
- They are split from logs and are thicker at one end; for a textured effect, one or both surfaces may be split
- Wood shakes are pressure treated with chemical preservatives to prevent early decomposition, and fire retardants are added for increased fire resistance.

Why maintenance and repair of wood shake roofs are essential
Wood shakes tend to swell when they get wet and shrink when they dry. Eventually, the wood shakes will split, exposing the felt underlayment or interlayment.
Repairing wood shake roofs entails replacing broken or split shakes and installing wood shims where the felt underlayment has been exposed. Clearing debris from the roof is especially important to prevent blockages that will eventually lead to leaks.
Scheduled inspections, maintenance and repairs will keep your wood shake roof in good shape and keep it serviceable, extending its lifespan. Noah’s Roofing specializes in these services.
