What to look for with Cedar Shake Roof Maintenance

Cedar shake roofs can add so much character to a home but shake roofs also require much more care than most all other types of roofing.    Cedar shake roofs must have  maintenance performed a minimum of every four years and more often as the roof gets up in years.   The things to look for on when inspecting a cedar shake roof are damaged shakes that are exposing the felt paper underlayment.   The buildup of fungi and moss on the roof must be addressed as well.    With proper maintenance, a cedar shake roof can last over 30 years but if it is neglected, some cedar roofs fail before their 15th birthday!       Preventative maintenance is where it's at.
