Frequently Asked Questions
How much spacing does there need to be between cedar shingles?
Moisture content can vary with cedar and affect how much or how little it may shrink or expand. When cedar wood is dry, it can shrink slightly, and when wet, it will expand. Depending on the moisture content, you can leave 1/8" to 1/4" spacing between each shingle.
Can I powerwash my cedar roof?
It is essential to maintain your cedar roof regularly, including washing it. It is important to note that power washing can cause damage to the shingles and to consider using a hose to wash off any debris instead gently. We recommend hiring a professional to wash your roof every 3-5 years to help extend the life of your cedar roof.
Do cedar shingles turn grey?
When left unfinished, cedar shingles will gradually fade to a grey colour. The time it takes to fade can depend on your cedar roof's exposure to sunlight and moisture. The more exposure to these elements, the quicker you expect the fading.
