Cedar shakes are thicker and more textured than cedar shingles, offering a more rustic, handcrafted appearance. Shakes are typically split from the wood rather than sawn, creating natural variations in thickness and texture that give your home a distinctive, organic look.Cedar shingles are thinner and more uniform, providing a cleaner, more refined appearance that works well on both traditional and contemporary West Bay Shore homes. Shingles are precision-cut for consistent dimensions and smoother installation.Both options offer excellent weather protection and natural beauty, but shakes tend to create more dramatic shadow lines and visual interest, while shingles provide a more subtle, classic appearance. We can help you choose based on your home’s style and your personal preferences.
