Quick & Simple Guide to Cedar Roof Styles
Cedar Shingles
- Thin, flat, and smooth pieces that give your roof a neat, classic look.
- A smart pick for most Biddeford homes.
Hand-Split Cedar Shakes
- Thicker, rough-textured pieces that look a bit rustic.
- Perfect if you want that cozy cabin or farmhouse feel.
Taper-Sawn Cedar Shakes
- Midway option—thicker than shingles but smoother than hand-split shakes.
- Adds gentle texture without going full rustic.
Alaskan Yellow Cedar Shingles
- Start light honey-colored, fade to silvery gray.
- Extra-tough against rot and coastal weather.
Western Red Cedar Shingles (Biddeford’s favorite)
- Warm reddish-brown wood that turns a stylish gray over time.
- Naturally resists bugs and moisture—ideal for Maine’s salty air.
Simple tip: No matter which style you choose, give your cedar roof a gentle cleaning once a year and a light oil every few years to keep it strong and good-looking for decades.
