Protecting Your Cedar Shake Roof in Riverbank

• Clean the roof each year — the debris holds the moisture against the wood
• Treat the wood every 3 to 5 years — the treatment slows the decay
• Check for algae and moss — the fog feeds the growth on the wood
• Fix the damaged shakes fast — the wood decays quickly once it starts
