Cedar Shake Roofing in North Bellmore, New York

Cedar Shake Roofing in North Bellmore means roofing built for the New York climate - the heat, the humidity, and the storms. The New York humidity and the severe storm remnants test every roof, and the tree debris covers the surface.

Signs Your North Bellmore Roof Needs Cedar Shake Roofing

• Split or cracked shakes - the heat cycling has damaged the wood
• Cupped or curled shakes - the New York sun has dried the wood unevenly
• Loose or missing shakes - the wind has pulled them free
• Moss on the shaded areas - the humidity is feeding the growth
• Light-colored or gray wood - the UV has bleached the surface

Why North Bellmore Roofs Need Cedar Shake Roofing

The look is the main reason. The cedar shake gives the home a natural, textured look.

The durability is the second reason. The cedar is naturally resistant to the rot and the insects. With the right treatment, the cedar lasts 20-30 years.
