Expert 🌲 Cedar Shake Installation in Wasatch Front, UT

Cedar shake installation is one of the most detail-driven roofing services we offer at Redline Roofing and Construction. Homes across the Wasatch Front, from Salt Lake City to Ogden to Park City, face intense UV exposure at elevation, spring hailstorms, heavy winter snow loads, and sharp freeze-thaw cycles. Cedar shake handles those conditions well when it is installed correctly, with proper deck preparation, intentional shake spacing for ventilation, and precise flashing at every transition point. We started this company to help our neighbors protect their homes without breaking the bank, and that means doing the work right the first time. Every installation begins with a thorough deck inspection. Any soft or damaged sections are addressed before a single shake goes down. Proper exposure and spacing are set to match your roof pitch, so water sheds cleanly and the shakes have room to breathe through Utah's dry summers and cold winters. If you are ready to add a cedar shake roof to your home in Layton, Bountiful, Eden, Huntsville, Kamas, or anywhere else we serve, call us and we will walk you through the process.

🌲 Cedar Shake Installation FAQ

Common questions about 🌲 cedar shake installation in Wasatch Front, UT.

Cedar shake performs well on the Wasatch Front when it is installed with proper ventilation and deck preparation. The material handles Utah's UV intensity, wind, and seasonal temperature swings better than many homeowners expect.

Cedar shake is thicker than standard shingles, which gives it stronger resistance to snow loads and wind. Correct installation, including proper pitch-matched exposure, is what keeps the roof performing through heavy mountain winters.

Cedar shake does require periodic inspection and treatment to stay in good shape, especially given Salt Lake City's high UV exposure and freeze-thaw cycles. Staying on top of cleaning and treatment protects the natural oils in the wood and extends the roof's life.

We install cedar shake roofs throughout our full service area, including Ogden, Layton, Bountiful, North Salt Lake, and beyond. Call us and we will confirm coverage for your specific address.

Cedar shake installation requires precise spacing, pitch-specific exposure settings, and careful deck preparation that standard shingle jobs do not demand. Each shake is placed individually, so the process takes more skill and attention than a typical asphalt shingle roof.

Homes with a roof pitch of 4:12 or steeper are generally well-suited for cedar shake installation. Contact Redline Roofing and Construction and we will assess your roof and give you a straight answer based on what we see.

Had a really smooth experience with Redline Roofing. They were quick to come out, take a look, and give a clear breakdown of what needed to be done. No pressure, just straight answers. The job itself was handled efficiently, and you could tell the crew knew what they were doing. Everything was finished on time and cleaned up properly after. The roof looks great and feels like it’ll hold up well. Definitely a solid choice if you need roofing work done.

Loved Redline Roofing. Had a dish fall through my skylight and the team was amazing at coming to take the measurements, pricing and communication throughout the entire process (even helped me score a discount on the skylights) - the job was set to be done over 2 days however made a point to come and get it completed in one. Also fantastic in sealing off area where dish previously was - I can not say enough wonderful things about this company - highly recommend.

We needed a new roof fast as part of a home purchase, and Redline delivered. From start to finish, they were efficient, professional, and incredibly thorough. Their communication was top-notch β€” every step of the process was clearly explained, and their follow-through was impeccable. Since we were out of the area, Redline went above and beyond by sending detailed photos of their work and walking us through what was needed and why. That extra effort gave us total confidence in both the process and the final result. It’s rare to find a company that combines this level of expertise with such excellent customer service. Redline didn’t just meet expectations β€” they exceeded them. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone in need of roofing work.

This is the second Project Redline Roofing has done for me, we had a old metal building for our business that had a leaky roof and needed rain gutter replaced as well as ad roof light and lights to go around our sign to give the building a little more curb appeal. The team was great to work with and communication was excellent we would definitely use them for any future projects.

I can’t say enough good things about Redline Roofing company! They picked up the slack where other companies dropped the ball on our project. It’s been 2.5 years of a headache trying to get someone to finish our project and from the time we contacted redline roofing they not only responded but had our project done in 2 weeks! They were on top of everything; they communicated when they could or couldn’t be here, they texted me pictures of the progress and were just honest and good people. Their work was amazing, I’m so happy with the way it turned out and I definitely will be using them in the future!
