The Cedar Dilemma

Cedar shakes. Some might say they personify the look and feel of coastal living right alongside sand, dune grass and flip-flops. For others, it’s an architectural style and personal statement that celebrates the beauty of nature. Regardless of their motivations – or geographic location – that look of natural beauty comes at a cost.

Home exteriors take a pounding from Mother Nature all year long – from the intense heat and direct sun of summer to the unrelenting winds of winter that drive horizontal rain and snow.

For homeowners with natural cedar exteriors, the advent of spring means spending less time celebrating the season than many of their friends and neighbors, and more time scraping, painting, oiling, and replacing damaged cedar shakes. Until now, this was literally the price homeowners paid each year for the look of natural cedar.
