Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a cedar shake roof cost in New Orleans?
Cedar shake roofing in New Orleans costs $8-$16 per square foot installed. Cedar shingles (machine-cut) cost $7-$12/sq ft. Hand-split shakes cost $10-$18/sq ft. A 2,000 sq ft roof: $14,000-$36,000.
How long does a cedar shake roof last?
30-40 years with proper maintenance. Cedar naturally resists rot and insects but needs treatment every 3-5 years (staining, preservative application). Untreated cedar shakes may only last 15-20 years.
Are cedar shake roofs high maintenance?
Higher than asphalt or metal. Cedar needs cleaning (moss/debris removal), preservative treatment every 3-5 years, and prompt repair of cracked or split shakes. Annual maintenance costs $200-$500 but protects a significant investment.
