Cedar Shakes and Shingles

Deer Park Roofing, Inc. is the only Cincinnati area roofing company to be granted membership into the Cedar Shake & Shingle Bureau. The Cedar Shake & Shingle Bureau (CSSB) is a non profit organization founded in 1915 to promote only the highest quality cedar products. New members to the CSSB most go through a screening process to determine that they have an excellent reputation, they are quality conscious, and they accept the CSSB programs. Membership to the Cedar Shake & Shingle Bureau has several advantages. Our employees install products certified by the CSSB according to their specifications. This allows us to provide our customers a 25 Year Warranty on all Certi-label Wood Shake Roofing Systems.

This is a (before) photo of a recent Cedar Shake Re-Roof project performed by Deer Park Roofing, Inc. The scope of work included removing the old shakes, installing Certi-Label Fire Treated Wood Shakes, and installing new half round copper gutters.

The gutters are installed first so the straps can be fastened directly to the roof deck. The Cedar Shakes will be installed over the gutter straps to prevent leaks from occurring at the fasteners.

16 oz copper flashings were used throughout this roof. The Cedar Shakes are 18 inches long and 3/4 inch thick. 30 pound felt paper is installed between each course of shakes.

The original attic insulation was not sufficient and the removal of the roof allowed us to install blown-in insulation. The attic space was insulated to an R-value of 30.

The old steel collector boxes are replaced with custom fabricated copper collector boxes.

The Cedar Shake Roof System is completed and subject to inspection by the Cedar Shake & Shingle Bureau. The customer receives a 25 Year Warranty on this system.
