Wood Shakes vs. Wood Shingles: Which Is Right for Your Home?

Wood Shingles

  • Machine-cut for a smooth, uniform appearance
  • Consistent thickness and clean, straight edges
  • Classic, refined aesthetic
  • Ideal for colonial and craftsman-style homes

Wood Shakes

  • Hand-split or sawn for a textured, natural look
  • Thicker profile with visible variations
  • Rustic character that adds depth and dimension
  • Improved insulation and wind resistance due to thickness

Bottom Line: Both wood shakes and shingles offer excellent durability when properly maintained. Your decision should reflect your home’s architectural design and the overall appearance you want to create.

Wood Roof Replacement

Installing a wood shake or shingle roof begins with a careful review of your current roof structure to confirm it can handle the extra weight. We remove old materials, repair decking as needed, install proper underlayment, and install your new wood roof in accordance with manufacturer guidelines and industry best practices—ensuring lasting performance and curb appeal.

Wood Roof Repair

Over time, wood roofs may develop split shakes, missing shingles, or moss growth. Our repair services address these issues early to prevent leaks and structural damage.
