FACTS:

Unseen roof deterioration can hurt you, as well as prematurely cost a new roof. Save money with Cedar-Life. Extend your roof life dramatically.

Carelessly power washing roof shingles with high pressure can do more harm than good. Use a prevention and maintenance professional like Cedar Life.

Cedar treatments require a specialist, not "a painter who also does roofs".

Today's 'farmed' cedar isn't as dense as past 'old-growth' cedar, losing natural resistance to moisture faster and needing protection sooner.

Cedar shingles can start to dry, curl and crack after only 6 months – 1 year. An untreated cedar roof may need complete replacement after 10 - 15 years.

Quality long lasting cedar treatment products, like Cedar-Life, have a higher percentage of solids so more goes into the shingle and less evaporates in air.

The silver patina giving cedar its weathered look (and which some people like) is actually sun damage and the beginning of fungal growth.
