Types of Cedar Roofs Roofs We Install
Cedar roofs can be manufactured in different ways. Here’s the difference between cedar shake roofing and cedar shingle roofing:
Cedar Shake Roofing
Cedar shakes are hand split so that every piece is unique. Each piece has a more textured look and irregular edges, resulting in a more natural and rustic appearance for your building. Compared to cedar shingles, cedar shakes are more durable because of their rougher surface and thicker shape, but because the pieces are not uniform, installation must be precise to ensure there are no gaps for leaks to occur.
Cedar Shingle Roofing
Cedar shingles have a thinner and more uniform appearance compared to cedar shakes. They are typically cut from the same piece of cedar and provide a clean, modern look for your roof. Some find cedar shingles to be more complementary to various architectural styles. Their uniform shape also makes them more predictable and easier to install.

Why Choose Cedar for Your Roof?
Cedar Roofs are Durable
Cedar roofs are durable against high winds, heavy rains, and other harsh weather conditions. They are often treated to be fireproof, then finished with stains and sealants that provide even more protection for your home.
Cedar Roofs are Beautiful
Cedar roofs offer a beauty like no other. Other roofs may start to fade or lose granules over time, but cedar roof ages very well. So no matter how old your cedar roof is, it will maintain a beautiful appearance on your home until it’s time for a replacement.
Cedar Roofs are Resistant to Rot
Cedarwood contains oils and compounds that help repel moisture and prevent fungi from growing on the surface. The wood also has a tight grain that makes it harder for moisture to seep in. This is why cedarwood makes for a great roofing material!

Total exterior was very professional from the sales man who gave us the quote , to scheduling the roof installation and gutter installation. We are remodeling a 170 year old farmhouse to a bed and breakfast , this house has historic status … More with the state of Wisconsin. The team communicated every step for this install. When on site the workers were very polite, and got right to work and cleaned up very well. We are very pleased with Total exteriors professional work, from top to bottom. I would highly recommend them for your next roof/gutter installation.

I was very pleased with my experience working with Total Exteriors. Will was awesome and explained everything in great detail and was willing to answer any questions I had at any time. Adam and crew came and knocked my roof out in one day … More , which we are very pleased with ( no more leaks😉). They replaced some siding where we had just fell an old chimney against the house, which looks amazing! They also replaced all of our gutters and reassigned the downspouts to areas that work better for our yard. Adam was also very informative and gave ideas for possible future projects. They made sure everything was done to our satisfaction prior to paying our remaining balance. Friendly staff and awesome work. Thank you Total Exteriors!!😊😊

Appreciated the constant updates as the job progressed throughout the day and the detailed cleanup when done. Total Exteriors is an excellent company to work with.
