Metal Shake Roofing – Cedar Look for Less

The typical wood shake house offers a lot of natural beauty but it also has a high risk for fires and typically only lasts between 20-25 years. If you're looking for that classic shake look with virtually no maintenance and a lifetime (50+ years) of curb appeal, then Metal Shake Roofing is the roof for you!
