San Juan Islands roofing
Cedar Shake Roofing in the San Juan Islands
New cedar, restoration & repair for classic island homes.
Cedar belongs on the islands — it’s the classic look on so many San Juan County homes and cabins. But cedar is demanding in a wet climate: it needs breathing room, the right fasteners, and maintenance to reach its full life.
We install new cedar shake and shingle roofs, and — just as often — restore existing ones: replacing failed shakes, treating for moss and rot, and adding the ventilation and copper details that help cedar survive our rain. When a cedar roof is beyond saving, we’ll tell you honestly and walk you through metal or shingle alternatives.
The island difference
Many island cedar roofs can be restored, not replaced — saving tens of thousands. We assess yours honestly before recommending a tear-off.
What’s included
- New cedar shake & shingle installation
- Cedar restoration — targeted shake replacement
