Q: Why is your preservative so special?
A: Scientists from Texas A&M University and the U.S. Forestry Service confirmed that the company’s formula provides the most complete, long-lasting protection available. Cedar-Life preservative penetrates the cedar fibers over a two-week period, filling tiny cracks and openings. This prevents moisture and fungi from entering. Our process helps prevent future cupping, curling, and cracking as it protects against fungal and mildew re-growth, and instills internal health to the shingles. Each application lasts from 5 - 7 years depending on how much sun, shade and freezing temperature your roof endures.
