Our Approach
Synthetic cedar shake gives you the look without what Florida does to real wood
Real cedar shake is beautiful and completely wrong for Florida. Humidity, rain, and heat cause wood to rot, split, warp, and grow mold. It needs constant maintenance, and it still fails early.
Synthetic shake solves that. It's molded from real cedar to capture the same texture and shadow lines, then engineered so it doesn't absorb moisture, rot, or feed insects. You get the character of a cedar roof with none of the upkeep. We install synthetic shake only.
