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:
âś… 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
âś… 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
