Enviroshake & Cedar Shake Roofing

The Beauty of Cedar. The Performance of Enviroshake.

Cedar shakes are known for their natural beauty, texture and timeless character. Today, homeowners who love the look of cedar have another option: Enviroshake®, an engineered composite roofing product designed to replicate the appearance of natural cedar while offering low maintenance and long-term performance.

At Brentwood Roofing Ltd., we offer both Enviroshake and natural cedar shakes, with Enviroshake providing a modern alternative for homeowners looking for the cedar look without many of the maintenance requirements of natural wood.

Enviroshake is designed to reproduce the depth, texture and appearance of natural cedar shakes while providing the benefits of an engineered composite roofing system.

It is virtually maintenance-free and requires no preservatives or pre-treatments. Enviroshake is designed not to rot, crack, peel, warp or chip and is resistant to mold, mildew, algae and insects.

Natural Cedar Shakes

Natural cedar offers a distinctive appearance that cannot be exactly duplicated by real wood. However, cedar is a natural material and its performance depends on factors including the grade of the wood, installation, roof design, climate, exposure and maintenance.

Unlike Enviroshake, natural cedar requires regular care. Moisture, debris, moss, algae and surrounding trees can contribute to deterioration, making periodic inspection and maintenance important.

Cedar remains a good option for homeowners who specifically want the authentic character of real wood and are prepared for the maintenance it requires.

Enviroshake or Cedar?

Both options provide the classic appearance of a shake roof.

Cedar offers genuine wood, natural variation and traditional character, but requires ongoing maintenance and its service life can vary.

Enviroshake provides the look of cedar with virtually no routine maintenance, high impact resistance, resistance to rot, mold, mildew and insects, freeze-thaw resistance and long-term warranty options.

At Brentwood Roofing Ltd., we can help you compare the two and determine which roofing system is right for your home.
