Modern Exterior provides cedar shake roof installation and repair services for homes and commercial buildings across Milwaukee. Our team works with natural cedar shakes and follows proper installation methods so the roof can perform the way it should.
Wood roofing requires careful installation and occasional repairs over time. With the right approach, a cedar shake roof can last for decades while adding character and value to the property.
Cedar shake roofs can last many years, but like any roofing material they may need repairs as they age. Some common cedar shake roof repairs include:
Cracked or split shakes
Wood can naturally split after years of exposure to sun and moisture.
Loose or missing shakes
Strong winds or aging fasteners may cause individual shakes to come loose.
Moss or algae growth
Wood roofs in shaded areas often develop moss that holds moisture against the surface.
Warped shakes
Temperature changes can cause wood to expand and contract over time.
Flashing problems
Metal flashing around chimneys, valleys, or vents may wear out and require replacement.
If your cedar shake roof is showing signs of damage, our team can help. Modern Exterior provides cedar shake roof repairs across Milwaukee to restore the strength and appearance of your roof.
