shake roofs is leaking. Water damage are definite 
signs that you need a new roof.

Split Shingles 
Elemental exposure can cause 
cedar shakes and shingles to split. 
Splits can very gradually or they 
can be sudden events. Split 
shingles are often an indication 
you need to replace your roof 
repairs.

Cupping or Curling 
Curling and cupping happen over time as shakes are 
subjected to UV radiation, heat, rain, and other 
natural forces. However, excessive curling and 
cupping which exposes the underlayment beneath the 
shakes is a sign that your roof needs replacement or 
repair.

Damaged or Missing 
Shingles 
A final sign your cedar 
shake roof might need 
replacement is if shingles 
are entirely or if pieces of 
them are damaged. While 
shake roofs are durable, 
they can’t stand up to 
missing shakes. 5
