Protecting Your Cedar Roof

Repair vs Replacement

Should You Repair or Replace a Cedar Roof?

Small areas of damage can often be repaired by replacing individual cedar shakes or shingles. When deterioration is widespread, replacement may be the better long-term solution.

Maximum Roofing evaluates the condition of the cedar, decking, flashing, ventilation, and overall roofing system before recommending the right approach.
