Cedar Roof Repair

Cedar roofs are known for their natural beauty, durability, and distinctive appearance, but even a well-built cedar roof can develop problems over time. Cracked or split shakes, missing shingles, weather damage, moisture, deteriorated flashing, and roof leaks can all require professional attention.

At Cedar Roof Cleaning, we provide experienced cedar roof repair for homes with cedar shake and cedar shingle roofing. With more than 60 years of family experience, we understand how cedar roofs are constructed, how they age, and how to repair damaged areas while maintaining the character of the existing roof.

Whenever possible, our goal is to repair the affected areas rather than recommend unnecessary roof replacement.

Repairing a cedar shake roof requires experience with natural wood roofing. Cedar shakes expand, contract, weather, and age differently from asphalt shingles, and repairs should be performed with those characteristics in mind.

Our team can inspect your cedar roof, identify damaged or deteriorated areas, and determine the appropriate repairs.

Common cedar roof problems we address include:

• Cracked or split cedar shakes
• Missing or loose cedar shingles
• Broken or deteriorated shakes
• Cedar roof leaks
• Storm and wind damage
• Worn or damaged flashing
• Problem areas around chimneys and roof penetrations
• Localized deterioration
• Water intrusion
• Aging cedar roof sections

A leaking cedar roof does not necessarily mean the entire roof needs to be replaced.

Water can enter through damaged shakes, deteriorated flashing, valleys, roof penetrations, or other vulnerable areas. Because water may travel beneath the roofing before becoming visible inside the home, the source of a cedar roof leak is not always directly above the interior stain.

Our cedar roof leak repair service begins with an inspection to help locate the source of the problem. Once the affected area has been identified, we can recommend the appropriate repair.

Addressing a leak early may help prevent additional moisture damage to the roof structure and interior of the home.

Not every cedar roof leak is caused by the cedar itself.

Flashing around chimneys, valleys, walls, skylights, vents, and other roof penetrations can deteriorate or become damaged over time. These areas are particularly important because they help direct water away from vulnerable sections of the roofing system.

During a cedar roof inspection, we examine these areas for visible signs of deterioration or potential water entry.

When necessary, flashing can be repaired or replaced as part of the overall cedar roof repair.

High winds, falling branches, heavy rain, snow, ice, and severe weather can damage cedar shakes or expose vulnerable areas of the roof.

After a significant storm, homeowners may notice missing shakes, broken pieces of cedar on the ground, new leaks, or sections of the roof that appear different from surrounding areas.

A professional inspection can help determine the extent of the damage and whether localized cedar roof repairs are appropriate.

One of the most important questions homeowners have is whether their cedar roof can be repaired or needs to be replaced.

The answer depends on the age and overall condition of the roof, the extent of deterioration, and whether the damage is concentrated in specific areas or widespread across the roofing system.

If most of the cedar roof remains in serviceable condition, repairing isolated damaged areas may make more sense than replacing the entire roof.

Our team can evaluate the roof and explain the condition we find so you can make an informed decision about the next step.

Repairs are only one part of caring for a cedar roof.

Depending on the condition of the roofing system, your cedar roof may also benefit from professional cedar roof cleaning, inspections, maintenance, and treatments.

Cleaning can remove moss, algae, dirt, and organic buildup that may make it difficult to properly evaluate the cedar underneath. Routine inspections can also identify cracked or damaged shakes before they contribute to larger problems.

Our team can evaluate the overall condition of your roof and recommend the services appropriate for your particular cedar roofing system.
