It is important to maintain your cedar shakes. Over time, these areas will show weathering and decay due to moss and fungus growth. Basic repairs keep felt paper covered, and will ensure a long-lasting, leak-free roof surface.
Ridge caps are very important on your roof. They last 12-14 years. Normally, once rot and decay sets in, it will expose rain to the inside of your house. Replacement at the proper time is key to not having moisture problems. It’s the first area that will leak on your house.
Roof valleys are another very important area. Needles and debris that build-up can cause premature rot and decay. Have valleys and gutters cleaned at least once a year to avoid additional repairs.
