Real cedar asks for attention; polymer shake does not. Molded from actual shakes, quality synthetic lines carry Class 4 hail ratings and strong fire ratings without treatment, and never need the cleaning-and-treatment cycle wood demands in a DFW climate. The trade is character: cedar ages into individuality, polymer stays uniform.
We install and service synthetic cedar shake across Kennedale and the surrounding DFW communities. You get free written estimates, documented inspections, and honest guidance on whether this system actually fits your home and budget.
How Kennedale changes the math
The honest starting point for Synthetic Cedar Shake in Kennedale is the street you live on, not the sample board. Much of the housing here has already been through a roof cycle or two, with mature trees, settled framing, and decking that has absorbed decades of North Texas heat. That inventory is where synthetics shine: the architectural effect of shake or slate, with impact ratings that make sense in a hail county.
The permit runs through Kennedale’s building department; we handle the filing and the inspection scheduling as part of the job. The weather here is not hypothetical: polymer profiles rebound where wood splits and brittle materials crack. That is what the Class 4 rating is for. We work this system in Fort Worth and Arlington as well. Ask and we will point you at nearby examples with a few years of weather on them. One inspection turns the general case into your case, with photos and numbers attached.
