FAQ: What types of wood roofing do you install?
🌲 Wood Roofing Options We Offer
We primarily work with certified cedar roofing products from trusted mills, installed to meet national standards for durability and fire safety.
Here’s what we offer:
✅ Cedar Shakes
Split by hand or machine
Thick, textured, rustic appearance
Great for traditional homes, cabins, and architectural charm
Available in heavy or medium grades
✅ Cedar Shingles
Smoother, more uniform than shakes
Clean lines and refined aesthetics
Ideal for historical homes or homeowners who want a natural look without the rugged texture
Both options come in pressure-treated, fire-retardant, and Class C or Class B-rated versions depending on your code requirements and location.
🛠️ Expert Installation Matters with Wood Roofing
Wood roofing isn’t like installing shingles or metal—it demands special skill and detail:
We follow Cedar Shake & Shingle Bureau (CSSB) guidelines
We use stainless steel fasteners to prevent staining
We install the correct breathable underlayment and spacing for ventilation
We seal critical points with flashing and drip edges made to last
We offer factory-certified fire treatments where required by Georgia code
🌦️ Is Wood Roofing Good for Georgia Homes?
When installed correctly, yes. Cedar roofing handles Georgia's mix of humidity, rain, and sun very well, especially when paired with proper attic ventilation and annual maintenance.
Cedar shake and shingle roofs are:
Naturally insulating (cooler attic = lower energy bills)
Resistant to high wind when nailed properly
Repairable in small sections without replacing the full roof
Sustainable—cedar is a renewable roofing material
