The cedar shake look. None of the cedar problems.

Half the cedar shakes on Lower Mainland homes are tired, mossy or rotting. Enviroshake replaces them with a composite that keeps the character and drops the maintenance to zero.

Cedar's problem is water. Enviroshake doesn't care.

Real cedar shake fails here for one reason: 200+ rain days a year.

No rot, ever. Engineered from recycled plastics and cedar-replica compounds. Water has nothing to eat.
Moss resistant. The surface doesn't hold moisture the way cedar does, so moss can't take root.
Fire resistant compared to untreated cedar shake, which matters more every summer.
50-year design life with a warranty to match, and no staining or re-treatment schedule.
Authentic texture. Moulded from real weathered hand-split shakes. From the street, neighbours won't know.

Three finishes that age like real cedar.

Enviroshake weathers gently toward silver-grey over its first seasons, exactly like west-coast cedar should.

Replacing a shake roof: your three options.

New cedar again. Beautiful, authentic, and back on the same maintenance treadmill: treatments, moss control, split replacement.
Switch to architectural asphalt. The budget-friendly path, but it changes the home's whole street presence.
Upgrade to Enviroshake. Keeps the look that made you buy the house, ends the maintenance, outlasts two cycles of cedar.

For heritage-character neighbourhoods and homes where the shake defines the curb appeal, option three wins almost every time once owners see samples in person.

Composite shake questions

How much does an Enviroshake roof cost?

Typically $22,000 to $40,000+ for a single-family home depending on size, pitch and complexity, versus $9,000 to $18,000 for architectural shingles. It's a premium product priced against a lifetime of cedar maintenance and at least two shingle replacements.

How long does Enviroshake actually last?

Design life around 50 years, warranted accordingly. In coastal BC conditions it simply doesn't degrade the way organic materials do.

Does it really look like cedar?

Yes. Panels are moulded directly from real hand-split weathered shakes, including grain texture and edge variation. It weathers toward a soft silver-grey over the first few years, just like west-coast cedar.

Is it heavier or lighter than cedar?

Comparable weight to cedar shake, so most homes don't need structural changes. We verify framing during inspection either way.

Can it handle Fraser Valley snow and wind?

Yes. It carries strong wind ratings and handles snow loads without the splitting and lifting that plagues aging cedar.
