Cedar Shake Roofing Installation & Repair on Long Island & NYC
Cedar shake roofing is a classic choice for Long Island homes — and when it’s maintained properly, it’s a natural, beautiful roofing system that holds up for decades. At Maspeth Roofing, we handle cedar shake and wood shake roofing installation, repair, and replacement across Long Island and throughout the New York metro area.
Cedar Shake Roof Repair on Long Island
Missing shakes, rot, and moss or algae growth are the most common issues we see on cedar roofs across Long Island. In many cases the roof as a whole is in good shape — only the affected sections need attention. We source cedar shakes that match your existing material as closely as possible and replace what needs replacing without disturbing the rest of the roof. A good repair extends the life of the full system significantly.

Replacement
When cedar shake roofing has aged beyond repair — significant rot throughout, widespread breakage, or failing underlayment — a full replacement gives you a clean start. We walk you through your options, including new cedar shake and alternative materials that provide a similar aesthetic with lower long-term maintenance demands. We’re straightforward about the tradeoffs so you can make the right call for your home.
Cedar Shake Roof Installation
For new construction or a complete reroof on Long Island, a cedar shake installation done correctly starts with the right underlayment and proper spacing between shakes for ventilation and drainage. We handle new cedar shake installations that are built to last and properly detailed at the ridges, valleys, and flashings where failures typically begin.
