Wood Shake Roof Installation Services in San Francisco, CA
Wood Shake Roof Installation in San Francisco, CA
San Francisco homes face fog, wind, and seismic activity that challenge wood shake roofs. Leaks develop from poor installation. Maintenance costs rise without proper ventilation. Our team installs roofs that resist these issues. We select Western Red Cedar shakes for natural durability and fire resistance.
We address common pain points. Uneven surfaces cause water pooling. We prepare substrates correctly. Inadequate underlayment leads to rot. We use high-quality ice and water shields. Wind uplift damages shingles. We secure them with corrosion-resistant fasteners.
- Inspect existing roof for damage before starting.
- Remove old materials completely to avoid trapped moisture.
- Install synthetic underlayment for breathability.
- Lay shakes in double-coursing pattern for overlap protection.
- Add ridge caps and flashing for full coverage.
Our process follows Cedar Shake and Shingle Bureau standards. Installation takes 1-2 weeks depending on roof size. We coordinate with permits from San Francisco authorities. Crews hold C-39 roofing licenses and OSHA certifications.
We provide a 10-year workmanship warranty. Shakes carry 30-50 year limited manufacturer warranties. Annual inspections maintain performance. This covers labor for defects from our installation.
