A Cedar shake and slate roof add a classic architectural look to your home. Slate is heavy, strong, durable, and made to last. Sometimes, though, a slate roof is installed incorrectly, or lacks necessary maintenance and begins deteriorating.

Here in Canada, we face extreme freezing and thawing, slate roofs are resistant to this effect. It is also very heavy, making it unlikely to come apart or blow away during a windy storm. Trust an expert to assess how much weight your roof can support.

Constantly being beaten by the weather, your roof must be constructed with longevity in mind. Shape, style, and age of your slate shingles, as well as the method of removal or addition, are essential to producing a final result that will last.

Cedar roofs were an architectural staple of the 1990s and add wonderful character and warmth to a home. These roofs have extremely long lifespans and are extremely resilient to the freeze-thaw cycle of Canadian winters.  
They also due to their nature require periodic maintenance, occasionally shakes get cracked either due to an unforeseen defect in the shake or install. 

If these roofs get the attention needed they can last 30 years or longer but if left unchecked small issues can leave the opportunity for moisture to degrade the roofing material and compromise the whole roof.
