Commercial shake roofs

Natural Durability Combined with Skilled Craftsmanship

Commercial shake roofs are used on large and small commercial buildings for their effectiveness, durability, as well as their rustic and natural look. The inherent qualities of cedar shakes, along with dutiful commercial shake roof installation by a skilled roofing contractor, make for a durable and strong roofing system for commercial applications.

Here are several things about commercial shake roof installation before hiring a roofing contractor:

Natural weather and temperature resistant
Energy efficiency qualities

In nature, wood is a natural insulator, protecting trees from harsh environmental conditions everywhere from the desert to the the tundra. It should, therefore, come as no surprise that shakes—most commonly made from red cedar—are used in commercial roofing systems for their durability and weatherability.Naturally occurring oils within shakes help commercial shake roofs resist decay. Using flashing, valley and ridge materials such as copper and zinc can compound this natural quality. Runoff water will pick up trace amounts of zinc or copper—which can help control moss growth—and then flow over the entirety of the roofing plane. Installing metal drip edges can also mitigate the effects of excessive rainfall or ice damming.The natural qualities of cedar, combined with proper commercial shake roof installation by an experienced roofing contractor, make commercial shake roofs a great roofing option for commercial applications.

Energy efficiency is the word of the day and, if you’re trying to earn an Energy Star or LEED certification, it’s integrated into every facet of your building. The USGBC recently rolled out its latest LEED certification—LEED v4—and it emphasizes the use of sustainable materials much more than previous iterations.Using sustainably sourced shakes in your commercial shake roof installation can contribute credits toward LEED v4 certification. Moreover, commercial shake roofs are biodegradable, meaning shakes won’t end up in a landfill at the end of their service life. And, because commercial shake roofs naturally insulate your building, they can keep extreme temperatures out, promoting energy efficiently throughout your facility. Commercial shake roofs are both environmentally responsible and cost-effective in the long-term.

What Our Customers Say

As the result of a recent storm, I had a few water stains on my bedroom ceiling and some damaged drywall. Mike B came by to do the repair work. First, he mudded in the damaged drywall and then had to find a match to the 29-year-old off-white paint. It took multiple visits but the final result was perfect. He then used some of my three-year-old beige paint to cover the drywall that had two water stains. He expertly blended in my paint to match the existing paint on the wall. Another perfect job.Mike is a true professional. He will analyze the situation, tell the customer what needs to be done and how long it will take. Then, he does just that, expertly. I never saw such an efficient worker who repairs drywall and paints. He is a tribute to Wildwood Roofing.

Gary DuMontier

Elliot exceeded my expectations… Professional, courteous, patient, thorough in assisting and explaining the best solution for my roofing needs.I have and will recommend him.Thanks Elliot for all of your help!

Audrey Arend

Used Wildwood Roofing for the repair of a roof when I was preparing to sell a house in Manchester. Caleb was very responsive to questions regarding the quote and even came out to meet with my insurance claims adjuster to work things together. The work was scheduled and completed on the day they said it would be and the guys were very efficient at getting it done. The company was even responsive after the work to get some paperwork I needed to close on the house.My issue I had (and discovered a month after they had completed their work) was some of the old roofing material was allowed to fall into the attic space. When I was in the attic fixing some issues prior to the sale, I found the material and was a little disgusted it was allowed to fall in where it did.Overall, I would recommend working with this company.
