Cedar Shake Roofing in Portland
The Portland area is extremely conscious of the environment, and many people opt to use entirely natural materials and resources instead of manufactured options that may be polluting and damaging to our ecosystem. Slate roofing is one such option. However, when it comes to natural resources, there may be no more beautiful roofing material than all-natural cedar shakes. Cedar is an incredibly durable and enduring type of wood, offering extreme resilience to even harsh environments for long lasting and effective protection.
At Roof Life of Oregon, your roof is our roof. We treat every home and business the same way we would treat our own, meaning you can always expect the highest quality solutions and premium materials. By continually improving through ongoing training and working with some of the industry’s leading material producers, we can offer you truly world-class roofing services, complete with a lifetime workmanship warranty that gives you added security and peace of mind.

Cedar Shake Installation & Maintenance
Installing cedar shakes is a little more complicated than roofing with architectural composition shingles like asphalt. Because cedar is an extremely rigid and non-uniform material, ensuring a tight, water-free seal requires some additional steps and attention to detail that many other roofing contractors either aren’t prepared to handle or don’t put in the effort to do right. Roof Life of Oregon has 25 years of experience installing what we believe to be the best all-natural roofing material for your home. Our workmanship will exceed your expectations and we’ve got the testimonials to prove it.
Why Use Cedar Shingles for Your Roof
Cedar is prized for its natural beauty and durability in tough climate conditions. Contrary to popular belief, cedar is actually considered a “soft” wood, being similar in structure and characteristics to fir, pine, and spruce. This means cedar trees tend to grow quickly and have a fairly straight grain structure, making them an ideal building material. Cedar also naturally produces several acids and oils known as polyoxyphenols, which give this type of wood its natural ability to resist warping, rot, and decay, even in harsh environments.
Cedar roofing does require additional maintenance and care compared to other options. You’ll need to take the extra effort to prevent algae growth through regular roof cleaning and maintenance. Likewise, any missing or damaged shakes should be replaced immediately to prevent further rot and wear to other surrounding shakes or your roof’s underlayment.
