Cedar Shake Roofing in Maumelle, Arkansas

Cedar shakes give a home a warm, natural look that asphalt cannot match. On the custom homes going up around Pulaski County, they are a premium choice. Cedar shake roofing in Maumelle means a natural wood roof, cared for against the humidity.

Why Maumelle Homeowners Choose Cedar

• Natural look — the wood grain and the warm tones
• Insulation — the wood blocks the summer heat
• Curb appeal — a shake roof stands out on a custom home
• Long life — 25 to 30 years with proper maintenance
• Quiet — the wood dampens the rain and the hail

Caring for Cedar Shakes in the Arkansas Humidity

The humidity is the main challenge. The moist air feeds moss and algae on the shaded north slopes, and the wood holds the moisture. Good attic ventilation and yearly treatment keep the shakes dry and sound.

The storms add to it. The spring hail and wind damage the shakes, and a damaged shake lets water to the underlayment. A yearly inspection catches the damage while it is small.

How We Install Cedar Shake Roofs in Maumelle

1. Inspect the deck — confirm the structure is ready for the wood
2. Install the underlayment — the moisture barrier, doubled in the valleys
3. Lay the shakes — nail each shake, stagger the courses
4. Flash the penetrations — the valleys, vents, and ridges sealed
5. Finish the ridge — the ridge shakes that cap the roof

Cedar tip: in Maumelle, the north slopes decide how long a cedar roof lasts. Treated early and often, the shaded shakes resist the moss that rots them.
