Cedar Roof Repair and Oil Treatment Process
1. First we look over the roof and inspect for any damaged or weathered areas that may be leaking. And look for any loose or missing shakes or ridge-caps. Also we check around for any holes caused by animals and checkout skylights, flashing, pipe jackets, vents, etc.
2. Second we repair the roof with quality grade shake whether it’s heavy, medium or perfection. We replace all bad or missing shakes. We replace all bad or missing ridge-caps. Patch any holes. Caulk skylights, flashing, pipe jackets, vents, etc.
3. Third we treat any moss, mildew or algae then scrub it with a brush. We don’t
ever recommend power washing your roof. It peels back a layer of the shake shortening the life of the roof.
4. Last but not least. We blow the roof off. And treat the entire roof with a chevron shingle oil treatment. Unlike most treatments it penetrates down deep into the shake locking into the fibers of the cedar. This treatment slows down the weathering process. Maintained properly your cedar roof could last 35-50 yrs.
Note: We highly recommend to never power-wash your roof as it will cause damage to the shake. It peels back a layer of the shake making it more brittle and easier to susceptible to wind damage.
