Services
Cedar Roof Preservation
Our cedar roof preservation service revitalizes aging roofs using the CedarRenew system, which penetrates wood fibers to replace natural resins and repel moisture. This treatment shields against ultraviolet degradation and inhibits microbial growth, extending roof lifespan by years. Clients benefit from reduced maintenance costs and sustained aesthetic value through our eco-conscious approach.
Cedar Roof Cleaning
Specialized cleaning removes green moss, algae, lichen, and debris without damaging cedar shakes. Our low-pressure techniques safely eliminate surface contaminants while preserving wood integrity. Regular cleanings prevent moisture retention that causes warping, cracks, and fungal growth, maintaining roof performance and visual appeal.
Cedar Roof Repairs
We replace damaged shakes, repair ridge caps, and address storm-related issues using premium cedar materials. Our technicians assess each roof's unique condition to determine optimal repair strategies, ensuring structural integrity and weather resistance. Emergency repair options minimize water intrusion risks from sudden damage.
Emergency Roof Repairs
Available for immediate response to storm damage, leaks, or structural failures, our emergency service prioritizes rapid assessment and temporary fixes to prevent interior damage. Certified technicians use protective equipment to safely execute critical repairs, restoring roof functionality until permanent solutions are implemented.
Wood Preservative Application
CedarRenew preservative treatments protect against moisture penetration, UV discoloration, and biological growth. The formula's iron oxide pigments restore natural wood tones while acrylic resins create breathable water-resistant barriers. This dual-action treatment reduces warping and splitting, maintaining roof longevity through seasonal climate changes.
Questions
How often should cedar roofs receive professional preservation treatment?
Cedar roofs typically require reapplication every 3–5 years, depending on local climate conditions and exposure to weathering elements. Regular maintenance extends lifespan significantly.
Does factory-treated wood still need additional protection?
Yes. While factory treatments offer insect resistance, our CedarRenew system provides crucial protection against moisture, UV damage, and microbial growth that factory processes don't address.
Can old cedar roofs benefit from preservation treatments?
Most aging cedar roofs can be revitalized through our preservation process. We assess structural integrity first, then recommend appropriate cleaning and treatment solutions to extend usable life.
What distinguishes your cedar roof services from competitors?
We combine 25+ years of specialized experience, the proprietary CedarRenew system, and emergency response capabilities with comprehensive customer support, serving a 3-state region from our Woodridge headquarters.
Do you offer evaluations for suspected roof damage?
Yes. We provide free roof inspections to assess damage, recommend repairs, and determine necessary preservation treatments for both residential and commercial properties.
