Investing the Right Amount of TLC in Your Durable Cedar Shake Roof

Shell Busey, in a recent article that was featured on Canada.com, advises caution on the kind of TLC you give your biodegradable cedar shake roof. Roof cleaning products and methods remain largely unregulated, and the use of improper cleaning products and methods could damage your cedar shake roofing. In fact, even the act of pressure washing could inflict irreversible damage. However, this doesn't rule out the option of power washing, as it's a necessity for every roof. Just have it done by a professional about twice a year. An excerpt from Busey's article states that: “Cedar roofing should be cleaned regularly, spring and fall, with medium pressure or enough to remove debris that accumulated during the previous months, and inspected in preparation for the next season.
