Cedar Shake Roofing in Casa Grande, Arizona

Cedar shake is not the most common roof in Casa Grande, but it has its place. The desert climate at 1,400 feet is dry, which reduces the rot and the moss that haunt the cedar in the humid climates. The UV and the heat are the challenges here. Cedar shake roofing in Casa Grande means the wood that needs the right care and the right treatment.

Signs Your Casa Grande Cedar Shake Roof Needs Attention

• Split or cracked shakes — the monsoon hail or the heat cycling has damaged the wood
• Cupped or curled shakes — the desert sun has dried the wood unevenly
• Loose or missing shakes — the monsoon wind has pulled them free
• Light-colored or gray wood — the UV has bleached the surface
• Granules or debris in the gutters — the wood is shedding its surface

Why Casa Grande Homes Choose Cedar Shake

The dry desert air is the main reason cedar works in Casa Grande. In the humid climates, the moisture breeds the rot and the moss. In the Casa Grande desert, the wood stays dry. The low humidity means the natural rot resistance of the cedar lasts longer.

The look is the second reason. The cedar shake gives a home a natural, textured look that the asphalt shingles cannot match. The homeowners who want the distinctive look choose the cedar.
