Cedar Roofing Products
New Cedar Shakes on a Home in the Dayton Area. Flush butted medium shakes.
In the case that you talk to another Ohio Cedar Roofing Contractor you’ll want to be sure that their products of choice are top quality. Cedar roofs can last 40+ years with the right maintenance and preservation techniques but they won’t see 10 years if the wrong cuts nails, and installation practices are used.
Shake Guys uses the highest grades of cedar cut from the heartwood of Western Red Cedar from Vancouver, Canada. For those looking for the best and are willing to pay for it we offer Premium 100% Edge Grain cedar. For those who want the best value product we offer a rare top tier, hand selected, #1 Grade 90% Edge Grain cedar shakes and shingles. This rare selection of grain produces shakes that a stronger, preserve better, cup less, curl less, withstand hail strikes better, and remain looking the their best longer. Most roofing companies in the Cincinnati, Dayton, and Columbus areas will try to use what comes easy and/or cheaper, #1 Grade 70-90% Edge Grain or #2 Grade which is really meant for siding.
Newly finished cedar shake roof in Columbus, Ohio. This staggered butt configuration is used to give a rustic feel.
Shake Guys looks at the entire roofing system to make sure that a roof can breathe the way cedar needs to. All aspects of the roof need to jive; flashings, ridge caps, and the rest need to be installed in a fashion that is unique to cedar roofs! Because wood can hold moisture for some time the fasteners can fail if they’re not made of the right coated metal – a fact that a non-cedar specialist will often miss. That’s why we use top grade fasteners/nails that come with a lifetime warranty!

April 8th & 9th, 2015 Hail & Wind Storm Update
Winds from 48 to 70 mph swept through Ohio from Kentucky to Columbus causing widespread damage. Isolated pockets of hail measuring 1 to 2+ inches wide hit in places like Indian Hill, Madeira, Cincinnati, Delhi, Springboro, and more. Older cedar roofs in the region are showing signs of roofing system failure due to the severity of the wind driven hail impacts and wind torn ridge caps.
This is a 13 year old cedar roof in the Cincinnati area that was compromised by the April 9th storm. 1.5″ hailstones driven by wind gusts in excess of 55 MPH shredded it up. Similar depictions have been seen near Indian Hill and Dayton.
