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

Good insurance negotiators.

No One

I had an excellent experience with Wildwood Roofing. William was great to work with start to finish. I was pleased with the finish product and the follow up after the completion of the project.

Ryan Keller

The sometimes-dreadful thoughts one might have when needing a new roof, along with getting quotes, dealing with insurance adjusters and claims, and the inconvenience during construction, can be a daunting experience; however, this couldn’t have been further from what our experience was with our recent new roof and gutter replacement by Wildwood Roofing and Construction.We were referred to Elliot Emann of Wildwood Roofing and Construction when our home had hail damage. Elliot performed an assessment of our home and thoroughly went over the damages we had, as well as meeting with our insurance adjuster to go over the damages he found.With Elliot’s guidance and findings, the initial insurance claims process was quick and seamless. Within only a few weeks of filing our claim, construction was underway. The Wildwood Construction crews were polite, respectful of our property, worked diligently, and cleaned up all construction debris, finishing the project in an expeditious manner.From the initial damage assessment of our home through the final project closeout, we did not experience any sales pitch pressures or tactics from any of the staff with Wildwood Roofing and Construction. Elliot’s main focus was ensuring we were happy and satisfied with the process, schedule, and construction.Without reservation, I highly recommend Elliot Emann and the services of Wildwood Roofing and Construction.Rick Rohlfing

We loved working with Wildwood Roofing & Construction! Caleb was great to work with in deciding on siding and making sure project was completed. The crew did an amazing job on our siding and gutters! I would definitely use them again for any house projects in the future!

Brandi Koziatek

The experienced project director Mr. McDavid did good job for replacing my hail damaged roof back in March. He properly assessed all related Storm Damages about my house. He helped file my Insurance Claim to increase the previously approved claim amount to do more hail repairs. After the final claim was approved, the company finished the job promptly and assured the labor warranty of the newly installed roof. Job well done. Thanks. Happy customer and will refer to friends in the future.

Had great experience with this company from initial contact to final inspection. They advised on quality & pricing of shingles resulting in the best product for my house. Installation was very efficient and finished product looks fantastic.
