Ask for a cedar roof in Irving and you are usually asking for western red: hand-split shakes for texture, or sawn shingles for a cleaner, tailored line. Grade matters a great deal, since premium heartwood grades earn their price in service life. So does the air space underneath. Cedar breathes, and a roof that traps moisture beneath it ages fast. You get a free written estimate and an inspection documented with photos. Your deductible is yours to pay under Texas law, and we never waive it; we also do not work as a public adjuster.
Western red cedar shake on Irving rooflines
Irving is a city of established housing: 36 percent of homes were built before 1980, and only 14 percent went up in 2010 or later. Older framing and decking can hold moisture or show past patches, so the ventilation plan for a red cedar shake roof starts with what the inspection finds in the attic and on the deck. Then there is the weather. Shakes can split under hard hits, and this part of Dallas County gets them: 9 days of golf-ball-size or larger hail since 2006 within 8 miles of the city, and a 4.25-inch stone on May 24, 2011. Heavier heartwood grades hold up better, and photo records before and after storms keep any claim straightforward. The same crews install and repair western red cedar in Grapevine and Coppell.
