Shake Roofs

Reasons To Choose Shake Roofing

Cedar shake roofs are a popular choice due to their natural beauty, durability, and energy efficiency, as wood acts as a natural insulator. They also offer excellent storm resistance, which is especially important in the Texas area. When properly installed and maintained, cedar shake roofing can enhance your home’s resale value.

Our skilled and knowledgeable roofing contractors will guide you through the available options, helping you choose the right grade of cedar shakes that fits your home and budget. The roof will be installed with attention to detail, ensuring proper edge alignment and spacing for long-lasting performance.

We also offer maintenance and cleaning services for cedar shake roofs to help prevent mold, mildew, and algae growth—preserving the life and appearance of your investment. Contact LADERA ROOFING & CONSTRUCTION today for a free roof assessment.

The Shake Roof Specialists

With over 15 years of professional experience, our team delivers reliable roofing solutions for both residential and commercial cedar shake roofs. We provide accurate roof assessments and clear, detailed explanations of the best options to match your desired look and budget.

Our services include:

Due to structural variations in each property, every shake roof has unique needs. When installed correctly, a cedar shake roof can add striking character to any home or business.

The installation process begins with a properly outfitted roof deck, ready for sheathing. Our experienced roofers typically apply cedar or synthetic shakes to ¾” thick plywood for optimal nail performance. The entire roof deck is then coated with 30-pound roofing felt, as recommended by the USDA. An additional felt layer is folded over the ridge where roof planes meet, and another layer is interlaid with the cedar or synthetic shakes.

Our professionals carefully continue with the installation, ensuring a ½″ edge along the lower perimeter of the roof. Shakes are spaced precisely—between 3/8″ and 5/8″—based on current moisture conditions, to achieve the best fit, design, and long-term durability. Your roof will be built to withstand the rain, wind, and ice common in Texas.
