Why Porterville Homes Choose Cedar Shake

The cedar shake roof gives the home a natural, textured look that stands out from the asphalt and the tile. The shake is also an insulator. The air between the shakes and the underlayment keeps the home cooler in the summer.

The valley heat and the UV dry the cedar faster than in the cooler coastal climates. The wood needs the UV treatment and the regular maintenance.
