When someone says cedar roof in The Colony, they usually mean western red: hand-split shakes for texture or sawn shingles for a tailored line. Grade matters enormously (premium heartwood grades earn their price in service life), and so does the air beneath: cedar breathes, and roofs that trap moisture under it age in fast-forward.
We install and service western red cedar shake across The Colony and the surrounding DFW communities. The work comes with free written estimates, documented inspections, and honest guidance on whether this system actually fits your home and budget.
What is different in The Colony
The honest starting point for Western Red Cedar Shake in The Colony is the street you live on, not the sample board. Out here lot sizes stretch and rooflines get more individual. The inventory runs from older farm-town stock to brand-new builds on the same road. For those roofs, real wood is a character decision. Our job is keeping it honest about what North Texas sun and hail do to untreated shakes.
City paperwork in The Colony is ours to carry: permit filed, inspection booked, final documentation in your folder. The weather here is not hypothetical: shakes split on impact and every carrier knows it. Documentation before and after storms is a cedar owner’s best friend. Nearby Denton and Lewisville see the same crews and the same spec, so the install you would get has local addresses attached. One inspection turns the general case into your case, with photos and numbers attached.
