Professional Siding Contractors in Abbotsford, BC

Generally, a shingle is sawn on both sides and is thinner at the butt than a shake, which is typically split on one or both sides. However, there are important exceptions to this, depending on the specific manufacturing method and the dimensions of a specific product. Shakes and shingles are also installed differently on a roof. Cedar Roofs Only ensures that the same size and type of shakes are used. With all the bad cedar shakes or shingles replaced and the roof cleaned and treated with cedar guard we guarantee a leak free roof in writing for 5 to 10 years. If you have any further questions or need an estimate please feel free to call anytime at 835-ROOF(7663). We are here to answer any questions regarding your cedar roof.

Cracks occur from the wood being stressed with moisture then sun over and over. The wood expands and contracts creating tiny hairline cracks, which overtime get larger. Treating the cedar with cedar guard helps stop the cracking.

Moss and algae are usually found on roofs when there is not enough airflow and sun on the roof to keep it dry. The north side is vulnerable, as is any portion that is shaded most of the time.

Inexperience and high pressure can damage cedar roofs. We have used the low pressure, high volume system since 1990. Experience is a must! All staff go through extensive training to ensure proper methods are used. All they do is work on cedar roofs full time. We do not sub contract out any work or have any part time employees to ensure top quality.

The first part to wear out is the ridge cap. Ridge cap is usually replaced 1-2 times during the life of the roof. Next the flashing areas around the chimneys, roof jacks and valleys. The south and southeastern exposures will get the most sun. The north side, or any area that is constantly shaded, would be an area to watch, as well.
