Wood Shingle Roofing
Most wood shingle roofs are made from western red cedar for its durability and resistance to insect damage; some are made from preservative-treated pine or similar species.

Wood shingles are smooth; more rustic, rough-hewn shingles are called shakes. Shingles and shakes come in varying lengths, usually 16, 18, or 24 inches, and in random widths.

Here you’ll find information on buying and installing wood shingle roofing, plus detailed instructions for doing your own roofing repairs.
