Roofing Project: Custom Cedar Shake Shingle Roof in Shoreline, Washington

Video Summary

In Shoreline, Washington, Three Tree Roofing replaced a deteriorated cedar shake shingle roof, which had various issues, including deterioration, damage from birds pecking holes, and the intrusion of critters seeking shelter within the wooden structure. Recognizing the importance of sustainability and durability, the team at Three Tree Roofing opted for a premium three-quarter hand split cedar shake shingle roof.

Central to the new cedar shake shingle roof's longevity is a 50-year CCA-treated warranty. This treatment involves the injection of preservatives to prevent insect infestation and fungi, ensuring that the roof will withstand the test of time. The use of stainless steel fasteners is essential during the CCA-treated cedar shake install to avoid degradation from the CCA treatment, which can corrode conventional metal fasteners.

Underpinning the success of this impressive cedar shake project is our expert roofing team, whose careful selection of materials, adherence to rigorous quality standards, and expertise have transformed a deteriorated roof into a durable and aesthetically beautiful asset.

A beautiful new cedar shake install. This project, located in Shoreline, had an old roof that had put its time in. Over time, the old cedar shake shingle roof had deteriorated, birds had begun pecking holes, and little critters had started burrowing and building nests in the wood. We removed and recycled the old cedar shake shingle roof and installed a premium three-quarter hand split cedar shake shingle roof. It's a beautiful and environmentally friendly wood with a 50-year CCA-treated warranty.

The CCA treatment for longevity means the wood is injected with a treatment that prevents insects from growing into the wood, which is a crucial step. This treatment step is often omitted on lower-quality wood shingles, leading to a short life span of the cedar shake itself. Three Tree Roofing uses quality wood that will last a very long time. Most importantly, when we install cedar shake shingles, we always use stainless steel fasteners because the CCA treatment will eat through all other metal fasteners. We use stainless steel, so that doesn't happen.
