Cedar Shake Roofing in Kissimmee, Florida

The cedar shake roof brings the natural wood look to the Kissimmee homes, but the humid climate is hard on the wood. The moisture and the algae shorten the natural cedar life, and the synthetic shake is the smarter choice. Cedar shake roofing in Kissimmee means the look of the wood with the durability of the modern materials.

Signs Your Kissimmee Roof Would Benefit From Cedar Shake

• You want the natural wood look for the premium home
• The current roof is ready for the replacement and you want the premium option
• You want the roof that stands out from the standard shingles
• The roof has the proper slope for the shake
• You want the algae-resistant shake system

Why Kissimmee Roofs Need the Right Shake System

The humidity is the main factor. The natural cedar absorbs the moisture and the algae takes hold, and the wood rots faster in the humid climate. The synthetic shake resists the moisture and the algae.

The wind is the second factor. The afternoon storms test the roofs, and the synthetic shake with the proper fastening meets the code.
