Few, if any, building materials can compare to cedar shake. Its natural beauty is timeless and elegant, and it lends rustic charm or a custom look to the exterior of your home. There is a myriad of colors and styles to choose from, it’s resistant to pests, moisture, and UV damage, and it has natural insulation qualities. For these reasons and more, cedar shake is a wonderful choice for siding and roofing.
Despite its many benefits, however, cedar shake does need to be properly maintained. This building material is prone to mold, mildew, and tannin, creating stains that can detract from the beautiful wood look of your Long Island home. Over time, dirt, debris, and organic growth can degrade cedar shakes and weaken the structural integrity of this building material. With proper maintenance, however, you can preserve the beauty and the durability of your siding or roof. Professional cedar shake cleaning services are an important part of that maintenance.
