Cedar Roofs JD WoodRevival

At JD WoodRevival, we believe there is much you can do for your cedar roof before you have to replace it. We specialize in treatments to maintain and preserve your investment.

Your Roof and the Elements How quickly can a roof deteriorate?

Through the seasons, your cedar roof will deteriorate under constant exposure to the elements of rain, snow, sun, and wind. Overhanging trees and shade can create ugly problem areas on your roof. Moss, debris (leaves and seeds), and algae can shorten the life of wood considerably. Prolonged high moisture content will encourage rot, mould growth and even carpenter ant colonies. Proper ventilation is also important for the condition of the roof (and the attic/insulation).
