Wood Shake Roof Installation Services in Los Angeles, CA
Wood Shake Roof Installation in Los Angeles, CA
Los Angeles homeowners face unique challenges with wood shake roofs. Wildfire risks demand fire-resistant treatments. Intense sun causes drying and cracking. Poor drainage leads to leaks and mold. Untrained installers often skip underlayment, shortening roof life.
Our local team holds California licenses for roofing. We know LA's coastal fog, Santa Ana winds, and seismic activity. Installers complete hands-on training in shake application. We source Western Red Cedar shakes graded for durability.
Our Installation Process
- Free site inspection checks structure, pitch, and ventilation.
- Select shakes with 70% heartwood for strength and taper-sawn for fire resistance.
- Install ice-and-water shield underlayment over entire roof.
- Lay 18-inch courses with 5-inch exposure, using two nails per shake per California code.
- Add ridge venting and edge metal for airflow and protection.
- Clean site and perform final walk-through with you.
Process takes 1-2 weeks for average homes, depending on size.
Warranty and Maintenance
We provide a 10-year workmanship warranty. Shakes carry 30-50 year manufacturer lifespan with care. Annual inspections catch issues early. We treat for pests and reapply fire retardant as needed. Expect 40+ years of service in LA conditions.
