Choosing a cedar roof means selecting a long-lasting wood material that is unmistakably beautiful. With its natural look, it can enhance the curb appeal of your home, encompassing a slick, yet homey feel. At Hubbard, we can install, replace and maintain cedar shingles throughout Calgary with our high-end work.
Cedar shakes are an original part of many homes in Calgary due to their long-lasting, durable and stable material. Naturally insulating, they are resistant to moisture, UV rays and other natural elements. If maintenance is consistent, they can last for up to 40 years, much longer than asphalt shingles.
Our Products
Cedar has natural thermal insulation properties, and cedar roofs deliver up to five times the insulating value as other roofing materials. Cedar is also a great reflector of light, keeping the heat from the sun from entering your home. In addition, both cedar shake and shingle roofs are installed in a fashion that circulates air under the felt rows on which the cedar shingles or shakes are laid, allowing the roof and house to breathe. In summer, this ventilation allows trapped heat in the attic to escape, and in winter, it prevents the build-up of moisture which can lead to a multitude of problems. Each of these elements contributes to lowering heating and cooling costs and increasing the efficiency of your home.
There is a reason that cedar roofs have stood the test of time and remain an exceedingly popular choice for homes both old and new. As a matter of fact, there isn’t just one reason, there are many!
Cedar is a renewable resource and is completely biodegradable, unlike practically any other roofing material.
A natural insulator and reflector of sunlight, cedar helps to regulate a home’s temperature in both the warm and cold months.
Cedar provides excellent sound insulation as well. Rainfall, hail, and other external noises are muffled due to cedar’s natural ability to absorb sound.
When properly maintained, cedar roofs have outstanding longevity. Able to withstand heavy rains, strong winds, hail, and more, a cedar roof will provide your home with protection from the elements for twice as long as an asphalt shingle roof.
Last but not least, cedar roofs are gorgeous and naturally stand out, making them a valuable investment that can significantly increase the overall value of your property.

Making the Smart Decision
Although cedar shakes require more maintenance than asphalt or rubber, their natural durability and stability mean they can last for up to 40 years. Taking proactive steps can ensure that your cedar shakes maintain their stunning look, enhancing the value of your property with their natural strength and decay resistance. At Hubbard, we offer superior cedar shakes with expert installation.
Cedar roofs in Calgary generally last around 40 years due to the dynamic climate. It’s safe to assume that as the 40-year mark approaches, a cedar shingle or cedar shake roof replacement will soon be in order. Of course, the lifespan of any roof is directly affected by the quality and consistency of maintenance throughout its life. A neglected cedar roof will very likely need to be replaced earlier than one that is well cared for. Replacing cedar shake shingles is not a small undertaking. If you’re looking for the most accurate advice from highly qualified experts, we are more than happy to be there for you.
Over time, cedar shingles and shakes can curl upward or cup inward, both of which are caused by prolonged exposure to UV radiation.
Cedar is prone to splitting or cracking over time as it naturally deteriorates. These splits and cracks will allow water to seep in and will need to be addressed.
If you notice some of your shakes or shingles have loosened or even started to fall off, you'll want to act quickly as this is a sign of advanced deterioration.
Regular maintenance is an essential aspect of maintaining any roof. However, if you notice an increase in the frequency of maintenance that your roof requires, it’s likely time to look into replacing your cedar shingles or shakes.

We will check for any cracked or curled shakes, the ridge cap and loose pieces, and replace any damaged cedar shakes. However, if the damage is extensive, it might be best to calculate the difference between continual maintenance versus replacing the entire roof. We can help you determine a cost-effective solution that works for both your home and wallet.
Asphalt or rubber is a suitable replacement for a cedar shake roof as they provide a similar aesthetic appeal and require less maintenance. To learn more, please contact us.
