Synthetic Cedar Shake

Synthetic Cedar Shake Roofing

Real cedar shake is beautiful but hard to keep in Texas: it dries, splits, grows moss on shady slopes and can be a fire risk. Synthetic shake gives you the same rustic look in a composite that doesn't rot, and many products carry Class 4 impact ratings.

Synthetic shake vs. shake-look shingles

If budget matters, a designer asphalt shake like GAF Grand Sequoia or CertainTeed Presidential Shake gets close for less. Synthetic shake has real thickness and individual pieces, so it looks right up close.

Is synthetic shake fire resistant?

Many products carry high fire ratings, unlike untreated cedar. Ratings depend on the product and assembly.

Can you replace my old cedar roof?

Yes. We remove it, add solid decking if required, and install the new system.
