Types of Cedar Roofs Roofs We Install

Cedar Shake Roofing

Cedar shake roofing is cut by hand, rather than by a machine. Because each piece is made individually, there is more variance and the pieces are not uniform. This can greatly add to the aesthetic of your home and give it a more rustic look. However, you need to make sure an experienced roofer handles the installation. If not done properly, the different-sized pieces can leave your roof susceptible to gaps and leaks. At Rojas Roofing, we have installed many cedar shake roofs and will make sure your roof is water-tight.

Synthetic Cedar Shake Roofing

Synthetic cedar roofing replicates the charm of natural cedar with minimal upkeep. Crafted from durable composite materials, these shingles resist rot, insects, and fire, ensuring long-lasting beauty and protection for homes. Lightweight and low-maintenance, synthetic cedar roofing offers homeowners an attractive alternative that enhances curb appeal and value.

The Pros and Cons of Cedar Roofing

When making your selection about the type of cedar roofing to fit your needs, there will be pros and cons. We have broken down the list for you:

Curb Appeal:

The natural wood look of cedar roofs makes it a unique and beautiful roofing choice.

Longevity:

When well-maintained, you can get a lot of life out of your cedar roof!

Weather-resistant:

Cedar roofs stand up well to heavy rains, strong winds, and other severe weather conditions. They require fewer repairs than other roofing types after a bad storm.

Cedar Roof FAQs

What is it made from?

Cedar roofing materials are made from – you guessed it, cedar! They really do come from trees. Cedar itself is a very durable tree and makes a great roofing material.

Does it cost more than regular asphalt shingles?

Cedar shake costs more than asphalt shingles, but they are an entirely different material. They are an all-natural material that takes extra precision and care to install.

How many years will a cedar roof last?

With proper maintenance, your cedar roof will last up to 25 years.

What is the most durable cedar material?

Western red cedar is the most resistant to rot and decay. It has one of the longest lifespans of all North American softwood cedar trees. It’s also the most abundant type.

How long does a natural cedar shake roof last in Central Indiana?

In Central Indiana, a natural cedar shake roof typically lasts 25–35 years. The region’s mix of hot summers, cold winters, snow, rain, and humidity can shorten the lifespan compared to drier climates, but proper installation and maintenance can help maximize longevity.

Why doesn’t cedar shake last as long in Indiana as in drier climates?

Central Indiana experiences:

High humidity
Freeze-thaw cycles
Snow and ice buildup
Seasonal storms

These conditions increase the risk of moisture absorption, rot, splitting, and moss growth, all of which impact the lifespan of cedar shakes.

Does it cost more than regular asphalt shingles?

Cedar shakes are significantly more expensive than asphalt shingles due to the materials and labor. Shakes must be installed individually and require more skilled labor than asphalt shingles. As a result, you can expect your cedar shake roof to cost more than $12 a square foot.

Very professional, great communicators and overall great to work with.  Thanks to Austin who was our salesman, to Michael in production and the actual crew who did the roof for an exceptional experience.  Thanks too to the office staff who we were in contact with, pleasant, professional and caring.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We got several estimates. However, we wanted local roofers. We chose Rojas. We were not disappointed. These folks were phenomenal. Hard working, focused on detail and safety, these roofers impressed me.
I have a background in construction and know how difficult this job was. We have a 12-12 pitch roof with 4 valleys. Full tear off and clean up in 1 day.

They took pictures and showed us what was going on. They did the repair and were very kind. Great service and company.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I gave a 5 star review because Rojas the whole team was great from start to finish, they treated me like family starting with Larry the sales agent to Micheal the production Mananger and the owner who came out, who I met personally and Louise one of the production crew who said and I quote ( we want to do a good job for our customers) the team cleaned up after themselves and put everything back, I was really impressed, Larry your a good sales agent you didn’t give up on me when I was dragging my feet, good job. May God bless this company and I see great things ahead. Brian

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Rojas did my roof (including building a pyramidal hip roof on top of an existing flat roof), gutters, fiber cement siding, and painting. Everything was done very well and professionally and priced very well! Of course there were some minor hiccups along the way with some occasional miscommunications how I wanted things done, as is common with any large renovation project, but everything was taken care of in a timely fashion and the end product was exactly as I had envisioned it. Thanks team Rojas!!!
