What to know about Wood Shake Shingles

Here is some interesting information about on what to know about wood shake shingles. Here at Carson Roofing we have customers contact us who currently have wood shake shingles installed on their homes. Most of the time they are looking at have a Re-Roofing project completed to have the wood shake shingles removed and asphalt shingles installed. 

Some insurance companies often encourage homeowners to have a Roofing project completed so they can have the wood shake shingles replaced with another product. Some insurance companies can increase premiums or even decline or cancel the insurance coverage due to the structure having wood shake shingles on it.  

Did you know that wood shake shingles can be a fire hazard? 

There are many reasons that wood shake shingles can be a fire hazard. Wood is known to burn easier and more quickly than asphalt will. As the wood shingle ages over time it becomes dry and is more susceptible to fire. Fire, lightening and even fireworks can easily ignite a wood shake roof.

Did you know that the normal weathering effect of wood shake shingles can cause multiple problems?

Normal weathering of the wood shingles can cause major problems over time. Once wood gets wet from the elements outside it starts to expand. Then once the wood starts to dry out it can shrink and may also crack. As this continues to occur over time the weathering of the wood can cause damage to the shingles.
