We've installed cedar shake roofs on everything from Linden Hills craftsmans to Kenwood estates. This isn't a side service for us β it's all we do. And yeah, we know how rough Minnesota winters can get.
No fluff. Here's the stuff we're good at β the things we've been doing since before half our competitors were in business.
Whether you're building new or finally ditching those old asphalt shingles, we set it up right the first time. We use hand-split Western Red Cedar β the real stuff. Your neighbors will notice.
Got an old shake roof that's turning gray and mossy? A lot of guys would tell you to tear it off. We'll be honest with you first β sometimes a cleaning and re-treatment is all it needs.
We live here too. We know what a bad February does to a roof. If you're dealing with ice dams, blown shakes, or just mystery leaks after a storm β give us a call. We'll come take a look.
Our office is at 225 S 6th St right here in Minneapolis. When you call (866) 652-8012, you're talking to someone who can actually come out to your house β not someone reading off a script in another state.
We started doing cedar shake because we genuinely think it's the best roof you can put on a Minneapolis home. Wood breathes. It handles the freeze-thaw cycle way better than people realize. And honestly? It just looks better than anything else.
We're not the cheapest option out there. We know that. But if you want it done right β by people who care β you know where to find us.
"Cedar shake is a real investment. We treat it like one."
Stuff homeowners actually ask us β and what we actually tell them.
If it's installed right and maintained β 30 to 40 years is realistic. We've seen poorly installed ones go bad in 10. That's why installation matters more than the shingle itself.
Depends what you want. Shingles are cheaper upfront. Cedar looks better, insulates better, and lasts longer if cared for. We'll tell you straight if we think shake isn't the right call for your house.
Probably not. Moss on cedar is common in the Twin Cities β especially on north-facing slopes. We can treat it and usually save the roof. Don't let anyone talk you into a full replacement before we've taken a look.
For active leaks, we try to get someone out the same day or next morning. For estimates, usually within the week. We're not going to make you wait a month to get eyes on your roof.
These are real projects we've done in the area. Different neighborhoods, different home styles β all cedar shake.
Fill out the form and we'll get back to you within a day β usually same day. If you'd rather just call, that works too. Either way, no hard sell, just an honest conversation.
