Wood Shake to CertainTeed Shingles Roof Replacement

Wood shake roofs have a certain charm, but they don't last forever. Over time, the wood splits, curls, and starts letting in moisture. When that happens, it's not just a cosmetic issue - it's a real threat to the structure underneath. That's exactly what we were dealing with on this job.

We stripped off the old wood shake and installed a full CertainTeed shingle roof. CertainTeed is one of the most trusted names in roofing for a reason. Their shingles are built to handle weather season after season, they hold up under heat and rain, and they look sharp doing it. For a homeowner who wants dependable protection without sacrificing curb appeal, it's a hard option to beat.

One thing we always make sure of during a tear-off is protecting the property below. Tarps go down before the first shingle is pulled. It keeps debris contained and protects the landscaping - details that matter to us even if they're not always visible in the final result.

The difference between the old shake and the finished roof is night and day. The new shingles lay flat, the lines are clean, and the whole house just looks more put-together. That's what a good roof installation does - it protects the home AND makes it look like it's been taken care of.

If your wood shake roof is showing its age - cracking, missing pieces, or just looking rough - a full replacement with quality shingles is worth serious consideration. It's one of those upgrades that pays off every single day.
