Cedar Shake Roof Replacement in Murray, UT
Few roofs match the character of natural cedar — and few demand as much installation skill. Our cedar shake roof replacements in Murray use premium pressure-treated shakes installed over a ventilated batten system that lets the wood breathe, which is the key to getting decades of service from cedar in heavy snow and freeze-thaw cycles.
What This Service Includes
We tear off the old cedar down to the deck, repair sheathing, and install the new shakes over spaced battens or a ventilated underlayment system — never nailed tight to solid decking, which traps moisture and rots cedar prematurely. Stainless or hot-dipped fasteners, proper exposure, and interlayment where the assembly requires it.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is cedar allowed under local fire codes?
Pressure-treated Class B (and in some assemblies Class A) cedar products meet UT requirements for most residential zones. We confirm the rating your specific location requires before quoting.
How much maintenance does cedar need?
Plan on periodic cleaning, debris removal from valleys, and treatment every few years. It is more maintenance than asphalt or metal — the tradeoff for the distinctive look.
