Shake
Shake roofs used to be extremely popular in cottage, mountain, and colonial style homes. Natural wood being a serious fire hazard, we have since moved to shake style roofs that are made from safer, more modern materials. The shake style roofs of today can be found in a range of materials including composite, metal, and polymer. Manufacturers including Paragon, Brava, Decra, Isaiah Industries, and F-Wave all offer amazing looking shake style roofs with a variety of benefits.
COMPOSITE SHAKE
Composite Shake is the best choice for the majority of homeowners and the future for shake style roofing. Paragon and Brava are our preferred manufacturers, and we can't recommend them enough. They offer a great look for a reasonable cost, with no additional substructure reinforcements needed.

STONE-COATED METAL SHAKE
Similar benefits to painted metal shake, but with textured granules added in for texture. They are often made from recycled metals making them not only beautiful, but environmentally friendly. Some homeowners dislike the idea of the sound of rain on a metal roof during a thunderstorm, we consider it a plus.

Impact Rating
Thousands of homeowners lose their roofs to wind and hail damage each year, but some areas are more affected by damaging storms than others. Homes in areas that experience stronger, damaging storms will benefit greatly from impact resistant shingles because they offer long-term roof protection.
Impact resistant roofing materials do cost more initially, but they pay for themselves in the long run. Typically, these shingles cost 10-20% more than their non-impact counterparts. That being said, they reduce a homeowner’s maintenance costs and may even prevent premature roof replacement.
