What Is a Wood Shake Roof?

A wood shake roof is made from hand-split or machine-cut wooden pieces, typically crafted from cedar, redwood, or other durable wood species. Unlike standard wood shingles, shakes are thicker and more textured, giving your roof a rugged, natural appearance.


Wood shake roofing is known for its unique character, with each piece contributing to a one-of-a-kind look that cannot be replicated by synthetic materials.

Benefits of Wood Shake Roofing

  • Natural and Distinctive Aesthetic

    Wood shake roofs offer unmatched visual appeal with their rich texture and organic appearance. They complement a variety of architectural styles, including:


    • Ranch-style homes
    • Traditional and historic properties
    • Rustic and custom-built homes

    Over time, wood shakes develop a beautiful weathered patina that adds even more character.

  • Strong Insulation Properties

    Wood naturally provides excellent insulation, helping regulate indoor temperatures by:


    • Reducing heat transfer in summer
    • Retaining warmth during cooler months

    This can contribute to improved energy efficiency and comfort year-round.

  • Durable and Weather-Resistant

    When properly installed and maintained, wood shake roofs can last 30–40 years or more. They are designed to withstand:


    • Moderate to strong winds
    • Impact from debris
    • UV exposure

    At West Texas Exteriors, we use high-quality materials treated to improve resistance to moisture, insects, and decay.

  • Environmentally Friendly

    Wood shake roofing is a sustainable option because it is:


    • Made from natural, renewable resources
    • Biodegradable at the end of its lifespan
    • Less energy-intensive to produce than many synthetic materials

  • Increased Home Value

    A professionally installed wood shake roof can enhance your home’s curb appeal and resale value, making it a worthwhile investment for homeowners looking to stand out in the market.
