What Is Cedar Roofing?
Cedar roofing is made from natural wood and is commonly available as cedar shakes or cedar shingles.
Both options create a distinctive appearance, but they have some differences.
Cedar shingles generally have a smoother and more uniform appearance. Cedar shakes often have more texture and variation, creating a rustic and natural look.
Because cedar is a natural material, each roof has its own character. The color and texture can complement many home styles, from traditional properties to cabins and custom homes.
Over time, cedar also develops a natural weathered appearance that many homeowners enjoy.
Benefits of Cedar Roofing
Choosing a roofing material is about more than finding something that keeps rain out.
Your roof is a major part of your home's exterior and can have a big impact on its overall appearance. Cedar roofing offers a combination of natural beauty, character, and dependable performance.
Natural Curb Appeal
Few roofing materials can match the natural look of cedar. Its texture, grain, and color create a warm appearance that can add character to your entire home.
Unique Appearance
Because cedar is a natural material, no two pieces look exactly the same. This gives a cedar roof more depth and variation than many manufactured roofing products.
Works With Many Home Styles
Cedar roofing can complement traditional homes, rustic properties, cabins, and custom home designs, making it a flexible choice for a variety of architectural styles.
Strong Roofing Material
When properly installed and maintained, quality cedar roofing can provide dependable protection against changing weather conditions.
Natural Insulating Qualities
Wood has natural insulating properties. Cedar roofing can add another layer between your home and changing outdoor temperatures.
Cedar Shakes vs. Cedar Shingles
Homeowners considering cedar roofing may hear the terms cedar shakes and cedar shingles. While they are similar, they are not exactly the same. The right option depends on your home's design and the look you want to achieve.
Cedar Shingles
Cedar shingles tend to have a smoother, cleaner, and more consistent appearance.
They work well for homeowners who want the natural beauty of wood with a more uniform finished look.
Cedar shingles are a strong option when you want natural wood roofing with a more consistent, finished appearance.
Cedar Shakes
Cedar shakes generally have more texture and variation than cedar shingles.
They can create a rugged, handcrafted appearance that works especially well with rustic and traditional architecture.
Cedar shakes are ideal for homeowners looking for a more textured, distinctive, and naturally varied roofing appearance.
Cedar Roof Installation
Professional installation is especially important with a cedar roofing system.
Cedar is a natural material, and it needs to be installed correctly to allow the roofing system to perform as intended. Proper placement, flashing, ventilation, and water management all play important roles in protecting the home.
ManePoint Exteriors approaches every cedar roof installation with careful attention to detail.
We start by evaluating the property and roofing system. Our team can then help you review your options and determine the right approach for your home.
Throughout installation, we focus on quality workmanship and clear communication so you know what to expect from your roofing project.
Details That Matter
Cedar roofing is a natural material system. Proper placement, ventilation, flashing, and water management all help the roof perform as intended.
We begin by evaluating the existing roofing system, roof structure, and property conditions before planning the cedar installation.
Cedar shakes or shingles are carefully selected and installed with proper spacing and placement for the roofing system.
Roof valleys, edges, penetrations, flashing, and drainage areas are carefully detailed to help manage moisture.
Proper ventilation and finishing details help support the performance and longevity of the cedar roofing system.
Careful installation protects your investment. Proper placement, flashing, ventilation, and water management all contribute to the performance of a cedar roofing system.
01
Cedar Roof Repair
A damaged cedar roof does not always need to be completely replaced.
When problems are limited to a smaller area and the rest of the roofing system remains in good condition, repairs may be possible.
Cedar roofing can become damaged by wind, hail, falling debris, moisture, or normal aging. Individual shakes or shingles may split, loosen, curl, or become damaged.
Our team can inspect the affected area and determine the extent of the problem. If cedar roof repair is a practical option, we can recommend the repairs needed to restore protection.
Addressing cedar roof damage early can help prevent moisture from reaching deeper areas of the roofing system.
02
Cedar Roof Replacement
Even a well-maintained cedar roof will eventually reach the point where replacement makes more sense than continued repairs.
As cedar ages, you may notice splitting, curling, missing pieces, moisture damage, or other signs of wear. Severe weather can also shorten the life of damaged roofing materials.
ManePoint Exteriors provides professional cedar roof replacement for homeowners throughout Minnesota and Wisconsin.
Before recommending replacement, we inspect the existing roofing system to determine its overall condition.
If a new roof is needed, we will discuss your options and help you choose a roofing solution that provides the appearance and protection you want for your home.
Our goal is to help you understand whether continued repair or a complete cedar roof replacement makes the most sense for your home.
Signs Your Cedar Roof Needs Attention
Cedar roofs can show several warning signs when repairs or replacement may be needed. Changes in the appearance or performance of the roof can be an indication that it is time for a professional inspection.
Watch for these common signs that your cedar roofing system may need professional attention:
If you notice changes in the appearance or performance of your cedar roof, schedule a professional inspection.
An inspection can help determine whether you are dealing with a small repair or a larger roofing concern.
Maintaining a Cedar Roof
Cedar roofing may require more care than some other roofing materials.
Because cedar is natural wood, keeping the roof clear of leaves, branches, and other debris is important. Debris can hold moisture against the roofing surface and prevent areas from drying properly.
Trees and branches around the roof should also be watched. Falling branches can damage cedar, while heavy shade may allow moisture to remain on the roof longer.
Regular professional inspections can help identify cracked, loose, or damaged materials before problems spread.
Taking care of your cedar roofing system can help protect its appearance and extend its useful life.
Regular care helps protect natural cedar. Keeping the roof clear, reducing moisture exposure, and addressing damaged materials early can help preserve both the appearance and performance of the roofing system.
Simple Care That Makes a Difference
Cedar is a natural roofing material. Regular attention to debris, nearby trees, moisture, and damaged materials can help keep the roofing system in better condition.
Keep the Roof Clear
Leaves, branches, and other debris should not be allowed to build up because they can hold moisture against the cedar surface.
Watch Nearby Trees
Trees and overhanging branches should be monitored. Falling limbs can damage cedar shakes or shingles, while heavy shade can slow drying.
Manage Moisture Exposure
Cedar performs best when the roofing surface can dry properly. Areas that remain damp for long periods should receive professional attention.
Schedule Professional Inspections
Regular inspections can help identify cracked, loose, missing, or damaged cedar materials before a small concern develops into a larger problem.
ManePoint Exteriors can inspect your cedar roofing system and help identify maintenance needs, damaged materials, or other areas that may require attention.
Cedar Roofing for Minnesota and Wisconsin Weather
Minnesota and Wisconsin homes experience demanding weather throughout the year.
Winter brings freezing temperatures, snow, and ice. Spring and summer can bring heavy rain, hail, strong winds, humidity, and heat.
A cedar roof must be properly installed and maintained to perform through these changing conditions.
Good ventilation and moisture management are especially important. Allowing cedar roofing materials to dry properly can help support their long-term performance.

Is Cedar Roofing Right for Your Home?
Cedar roofing can be an excellent choice, but it is not the right material for every homeowner.
If natural appearance and character are high priorities, cedar may be worth considering. However, homeowners should also understand that cedar can require more maintenance than materials such as asphalt shingles or metal roofing.
Your home's design, roof structure, budget, maintenance expectations, and long-term plans can all affect which roofing material makes the most sense.
ManePoint Exteriors can help you compare your options and choose a roofing system that fits your home.
